7 Wire Prestressed Concrete Strand
There are totally8 PC strand production lines in our company. Their annual output is 150,000tons. Our company is one of the biggest prestressed concrete strandproducers in the world. It is also one of the earliest companies that exportedproducts to overseas customers. The company has maintained the first place in China’s exportvolume for many years. With certifications from Spain, UK,South Korea, Norway, and Sweden, our company now servescustomers in 63 countries.

The 7-wire prestressed concrete strand is composed of 7 pieces ofquality steel wires. It is made by twisting together 6 pieces of steel wiresaround one central steel wire through left- or right-twist. It features goodflexibility and can be freely cut according to users’ need. This seriesof product is mainly used in heavy loading, large span, and long curve tendonsof pre-stressed concrete structures such as PC bridges, railway sleepers, PCpoles, and PC houses. Except those products with common specifications, we also supply thepre-stressed concrete strand with a diameter of 8.0mm, 9.3mm,9.53mm, 12.5mm, 12.9mm, 15.2mm, or 15.24mm and a tensile strengthof 1770MPa or 1860MPa. In addition, custom designs of 7-wire PC strands areavailable in order to meet the individual customer’s need.
