Sample Question
A 1000 mm x 25 mm nominal diameter deformed steel bar is subjected to test. The following results were obtained: Actual length is 999mm; actual diameter is 23.5 mm; actual weight is 3.90 kg; yield force = 22,099.13 kgs.; yield stress = 45.02 kg/sq. mm; ultimate force = 31,425.74 kgs.; ultimate stress = 64.02 kg/sq. mm; actual strain = 12%. Judge the quality of the steel bar as per PS standard 681-04.02:1975.

Nominal diameter of the steel bar, 23.5 mm, is less than the required diameter of 25 mm, thus of poor quality.

The steel bar is an intermediate steel bar.

Steel bar results is less than the minimum standard of PS Grade 410 thus may be categorized only as PS Grade 275.

Steel bar is PS Grade 410 and passes the minimum standard for PS Grade 410 thus of good quality.
