 Comprehensive Guide to Common Types & Sizes of Steel Bars

Common types and sizes of steel bars


Common models and specifications of steel bars can be organized according to different classifications. The following is a detailed summary:


1. Ordinary steel bars


Model: plain round steel bar

Specifications and sizes: The diameter is generally between 6-40mm, including 6.5, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 32 and other sizes.

Main uses: general concrete reinforcement or some reinforced structures in ordinary buildings and projects.


2. HRB series steel bars


HRB335 steel bar


Model: Ribbed steel bar

Specifications and sizes: diameters are 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 32, 36, 40, 50mm.

Length: Generally 9-12m.

Weight: between 0.222-3.853kg/m.

Tensile strength grade: 335MPa

Usage: high-end construction, large equipment manufacturing, etc.


HRB400 steel bar


Model: Ribbed steel bar

Specifications and dimensions: Same as HRB335, diameters are 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 32, 36, 40, 50mm.

Same length and weight range as HRB335.

Tensile strength grade: 400MPa

Purpose: Similar to HRB335, but more suitable for occasions requiring higher strength structures.



3.Seamless steel bars


Model: Seamless steel bars, divided into HRBF, HRBF400E, HRBF500E and other models according to quality grade.

Specifications and dimensions: Larger diameter and longer length, the specific size is determined according to specific needs.

Usage: Bridges, large factories and large buildings, etc.


4. Recommended nominal diameter


The recommended nominal diameters of steel bars are 8, 12, 16, 20, 25, 32, and 40 mm.
