I just registered to receive information on "Technical Barriers to Trade" (TBT)
with respect to the World Trade Organization.
A major TBT, in my opinion, is the continued failure of some vendors in the USA
to fully adopt SI in design and labeling of their products for both domestic
sales and for export sales. EAM.
The Foundation of STEM in SI!

This specification covers deformed and plain carbon steel bars in cut lengths
and coils for concrete reinforcement, intended for applications where
restrictive mechanical properties and chemical composition are required for
compatibility with controlled tensile property applications or to enhance
weldability. This standard covers bars of minimum yield strengths of 420 MPa
and 550 MPa and includes requirements for bar sizes in both metric and imperial
size series with bar designations
characterized on the basis of minimum cross sectional area. It also includes
requirements for chemical composition, minimum yield strength, tensile
performance and bar marking. Last Date for Comments: 04/17/2011
