The standard length of a 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm & 20mm steel bar can vary depending on the region and local standards. However, in many construction contexts, steel bars are often available in standard lengths of 12 meters or 40 feet.
There are various Steel manufacturing company throughout the globe which are manufactured and supplier of different size of Steel bar like #2 to #10 (Imperial US based) and in metric system 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 32mm and higher that are available in market.
Based on various standards, Imperial and metric system measurement, typically, length of one Steel bar/ rebar of size 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm and 25mm is kept around 40 feet or 12m long. This is standard length of steel bar used for various construction project.
Steel bar is also known as Rebar is short form of reinforcing bar, it is steel bar or Steel wire provided as tension bar, used in reinforced concrete structure like column, beam and slab of house construction and it also used in reinforced masonry structure. It is used to increase the tensile strength of concrete structure.
Reinforcing bar/rebar/ steel bar surface is often deformed with ribs to promote a better bonding with concrete material and reduce the risk of slippage. The most common Reinforcing bar/rebar is carbon steel of hot rolled round bar with the deformation patterns, the Steel rebar may be also coated with epoxy resin material, design to resist effect of corrosion mostly in saltwater environment.
As we know that different countries in the world have their own gradation, specification of Steel bar and record of measurement for reinforcing bar. First remember that rebar is measured differentially in United States and Europe. while the United states, it uses the Imperial measurement system. Europe and most of rest of world uses the metric system.
In this article we briefly explain length of steel bar/ rebar/ Reinforcing bar/ TMT bar in meter and foot based on imperial measurement system. This will help to viewers in better understanding and it is easy to choose the most suitable length of rebar/steel bar you wanted according to requirement.
