( Firsr Revision)
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This Indian Standard ( First Revision ) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 14 March 1983, after the draft finalized by the
Joint Sectional Committee for Concrete Reinforcement had been
approved by the Civil Engineering Division Council.
0.2 This standard was first published in 1962 to cover the requirements
of high tensile steel bars used in prestressed concrete. The present
revision has been taken up with a view to incQrporating modifications
found necessary as a result of experience gained in using this standard
both by manufacturers and users.
0.3 10 this revision, modifications have been incorporated in provisions
relatiig to tolerances, proof stress and relaxation test. The requirement
of young’s modulus has been deleted. Further S.I. units have been
adopted for specifying the various physical requirements in the standard
and references to various other Indian Sandards appearing in this
standard have been updated.
0.4 In the formulation of this standard, due weightage has been giveti to
international co-ordination among the standard and practices prevailing.
in different countries in addition to relating it to the practices in the field
in this country.
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated.
expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in accord-
ance with IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in
this standard.

IS : 2090 - 1983
1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers the requirements for high tensile steel bars used
in prestressed concrete.
Z TERMINOLOGY
2.0 For the purpose of this standard, the following definitions shall
apply.
2.1 Bar - A rolled rod or bar of steel of circular cross-section.
2.2 Elongation - The increase in length of a tensile test specimen under
stress. The elongation at fracture is conventionally expressed as a
percentage of the original gauge length of the standard test specimen.
2.3 High Tensile Steel - Alloy steel having a tensile strength of not
less than 980 N/mm%.
2.4 Nominal Size - The dimension of the diameter of the bar.
2.5 Proof Stress - The stress which produces a residual strain
of 0.2 percent of the original gauge length ( non-proportional elongation ).
2.6 Tensile Strength - The maximum load reached in a tensile test
divided by the original cross-sectional area of the gauge length portion
of the test specimen.
4. NOMINAL SIZES
4.1 Bars shall be manufactured in the fcllowing nominal sizes:
10, 12, 16,20,22, 25,2&l and 32 mm.
5. TOLERANCES
!kl Nominal Size - The tolerance on the n,ominal size shall be
f O-5 mm for bars up to and including 25 mm and f 0.6 mm for bars
above 25 mm,
5.2 Mass - The tolerance on the mass of the finished bar shall be
i 5 percent for bars of diameter up to and including 16 mm and f 3
percent for bars above 16 mm.
NoTE - When ban are ordered by mass, the mass of the bars shall be calculated
on the basis that high tensile steel weighs 0.785 kg/cm’ of cross-sectional area per
metre run.
6. PHYSICAL RRQmMENTS
6.1 The tensile strength, proof stress and alongation, when determined
in accordance with 7.2.2 shall be as given in Table 1.

7. TRSTS
7.1 Selection of Test Specimens
7.1.1 All test specimens shall be of sufficient length for the specified
tests and may be cut either from the ends of the bars before cutting to
5
IS : 2090 - I983
finished Agths or from any part of the bar in the presence of the
purchaser or his authorized representative.
7.1.2 Before the specimens are selected, the manufacturer or supplier
shall furnish the purchaser or his authorized representative with cop’ies
of mill records giving thi number of bars in each cast with sizes, marks,
etc, whereby the bars can be identified.
7.2 Tensile Test
8.1.1 Lot - In any consignment, all the high tensile steel bars of the
same size and manufactured from the same cast shall be grouped together
to conqtitute a lot.
8.1.2 The number of bars to be selected at random from the lot shall
depend upon the size of the lot and shall be in accordance with co1 1
and co1 2 of Table 2.
6
IS : 2090- 1983.
8.2.1 All the bars selected as in 8.1.2 shall be examined for freedom
from defects (see 3.2 ) and tolerance on nominal size and mass
( see 5 ).
8.2.2- Requisite material from any one of the bars in the lot shall be
subjected to chemical analysis ( see 3.1.1 ).
8.2.3 The number of bars to be subjected to the tensile test ( see 7.2 )
shall be equal to the size of the sub-sample as given in co1 3 of Table 2.

3.1.1 If the test results for any of the characteristics fail to satisfy the
corresponding requirements, two more rests for that characteristic shall
be done and both these test results shall satisfy the requirements for that
characteristic.
8.3.4 For physical requirements except proof stress, the mean and the
range of the test results obtained for the various characteristic shall satisfy
the appropriate condition(s) given below:
*a) ( Mean + 0.6 Range ) shall be less than or equal to the maximum
specification limit.
b) ( Mean - 0.6 Range ) shall be greater than or equal to the
minimum specification limit.
8.3.5 For proof stress, all the test specimens shall satisfy the require-
ments of the characteristic.
8 .-
IS : 2090 - 1983
10.1.1 Each bar or the metal tag attached to every bundle of bars may
also br marked with the Standard Mark.,
NOTE - The use of the Standard Mark is governed by the provisions of the
Bureau of Indian Qandards Act, 1936 and the Rules and Regulations made there-
under. The Standard Mark on products covered by an Indian Standard conveys
rhe assur.inse that they have been produced to comply with the requirements of that
standard under a well defined system of inspection, testing and quality control
which is devised and supervised by BIS and operated by the producer. Standard
marked products are alqo continuously checked by BIS for conformit;r to that
standard a< a further safeguard. Details of conditions under which a licence for
the use of the Standard Mark may be granted to manufacturers or producers may
he obtained from the Bureau of Indian Standards.
