SAIL TMT Fe550D EQR Bar

SAIL TMT Fe550D EQR Bar is available from Newton Exports across the full size range listed below.

Where a project needs more load-bearing capacity than Fe500D can offer without switching to a different rebar family altogether, SAIL Fe550D EQR fills that gap within the same Enhanced Quality Rebar range. It shares the same manufacturing footprint as Fe500D EQR, produced across SAIL’s Bhilai, Durgapur, and IISCO Burnpur plants under IS 1786:2008 with Amendment 3 mechanical specifications.

This grade holds a 550 MPa minimum yield strength with a 600 MPa minimum tensile strength and a 1.08 minimum UTS/YS ratio, keeping the ductility characteristics that make SAIL’s EQR range suitable for earthquake-prone construction zones even as the strength class moves up from Fe500D. Elongation is specified at a 14.5% minimum with 5% minimum uniform elongation, and chemical composition mirrors the rest of the EQR family, with carbon capped at 0.25% and combined sulphur plus phosphorus at 0.075% maximum. The result is a bar suited to buildings, bridges, and other concrete structures where higher design loads are expected but full EQR-level bendability and weldability still need to be preserved.

Newton Exports carries Fe550D EQR in 8mm to 40mm diameters from SAIL’s BSP, DSP, and ISP rolling mills, supplied in standard 12-metre lengths and wire-strapped bundles matching SAIL’s standard packaging practice. Buyers moving from Fe500D to Fe550D EQR on a redesigned structure typically see reduced total steel tonnage for the same load specification, a saving that compounds across large multi-storey or infrastructure projects.
