Major Features and Benefits

  1. High Yield Strength: FE 550D TMT bars provide a minimum yield strength of 550 megapascals, making them capable of supporting heavy loads and stresses. This makes them ideal for structures requiring robust reinforcement.
  2. Enhanced Ductility: The ‘D’ in 550D stands for ductility. These bars can withstand high levels of bending and re-bending without cracking, which is crucial for high-stress applications and seismic resistance.
  3. Corrosion Resistance: FE 550D bars typically undergo a controlled water-cooling process after heating, which not only imparts strength but also helps in resisting rust and corrosion more effectively than non-TMT bars.
  4. Thermal Resistance: These bars are capable of withstanding high temperatures, making them suitable for structures exposed to intense heat, such as industrial furnaces or fire-prone areas.
  5. Safety and Stability: The combination of high strength and ductility enhances the safety and stability of structures, particularly in earthquake-prone areas where flexibility and strength are paramount.
  6. Longevity: Structures built with FE 550D TMT bars benefit from their increased lifespan due to the bars’ inherent resistance to environmental factors that typically degrade steel, such as moisture and corrosive chemicals.
  7. Cost Efficiency: While the initial cost might be higher than less durable materials, the long-term savings on maintenance and replacement make FE 550D TMA bars a cost-effective solution.
  8. Reduced Construction Time: The excellent weldability and bendability reduce construction time and labor costs, as they are easier to handle and install compared to traditional bars.
  9. Sustainability: FE 550D TMT bars are often made from recycled materials and are themselves fully recyclable, contributing to environmental sustainability in construction practices.

Applications of FE 550D TMT Bars

  1. High-Rise Buildings: Their high strength and ductility make FE 550D TMT bars particularly suitable for skyscrapers and other high-rise structures where the load-bearing demands are significant, and the ability to withstand wind and seismic loads is crucial.
  2. Infrastructure Projects: These bars are extensively used in large-scale infrastructure projects such as bridges, dams, and flyovers. The enhanced ductility offers extra safety against failure under dynamic and static loads, which is essential in these types of constructions.
  3. Industrial Structures: FE 550D TMT bars are used in the construction of industrial buildings, such as factories and warehouses, where robust frameworks are required to support heavy machinery and withstand operational stresses.
  4. Earthquake-Resistant Structures: The superior ductility of FE 550D bars makes them excellent for use in seismic zones. Buildings using these bars are better equipped to handle the stresses caused by earthquakes, reducing the risk of structural damage.
  5. Marine and Coastal Applications: Due to their enhanced corrosion resistance, these bars are also suitable for construction in coastal and marine environments, where saltwater can accelerate corrosion in standard bars.
  6. Reinforced Concrete Roads: FE 550D TMT bars are often used in the reinforcement of concrete roads and highways, providing durability and longevity under the stress of continuous heavy traffic.
  7. Prefabricated Modular Buildings: Their excellent weldability makes FE 550D bars ideal for prefabricated or modular constructions, where components are manufactured off-site and assembled later, demanding strong and reliable steel reinforcement

Fe 550D TMT Bar: Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on sizes, thickness, weight, grades, MTC, pricing and ordering — so your enquiry is specification-ready before you send it.

01
What is Fe 550D TMT Bar?
Fe 550D TMT Bar are higher-strength, high-ductility TMT reinforcement ordered as Fe 550D. Procurement must state the complete grade, governing standard, nominal diameter, length, quantity and intended reinforced-concrete use. The commercial name alone does not establish rib geometry, ductility, bend performance, weldability or corrosion-protection requirements.
02
Where are Fe 550D TMT Bar commonly used?
Common uses include heavy infrastructure, high-rise and industrial structures, bridges, dams and seismic detailing. The bar grade, diameter, spacing, development length, laps, anchorage and concrete cover must follow the approved structural drawings, bar-bending schedule, BOQ, project standard and responsible engineer’s design.
03
Which diameters are listed for Fe 550D TMT Bar?
The live TMT size chart lists 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25, 28 and 32 mm. These chart entries do not confirm current stock. State the diameter and quantity for every BOQ line, together with grade, standard, length, make preference and any project-specific rib, ductility or coating requirement.
04
What standard applies to Fe 550D TMT Bar?
Indian TMT reinforcement is commonly specified to IS 1786, but buyers must quote the exact standard edition and complete grade required by the project. Dimensional mass, chemistry, tensile, elongation, bend, rebend and other acceptance requirements should be read from that governing purchase specification.
05
What standard lengths are available for Fe 550D TMT Bar?
The reviewed page does not publish a fixed standard-length range. Availability should be confirmed for the requested diameter, grade and tonnage. State straight length, permissible length tolerance, bundle requirements and whether cut-and-bend schedules or piece identification must be reviewed separately.
06
How is Fe 550D TMT Bar weight per metre calculated?
Theoretical TMT bar weight in kg/m is commonly estimated as nominal diameter squared divided by 162. This is a planning formula, not the final acceptance rule. Actual mass can vary within the applicable standard, so confirm whether quotation and invoicing use theoretical or actual weighment.
07
Can I get a Fe 550D TMT Bar weight chart?
Yes. The live page publishes BIS standard kg/m values and weight ranges for the listed diameters. Use the chart for quantity planning, then apply the approved bar-bending schedule and wastage policy. Confirm the contractual mass tolerance and weighment basis before comparing supplier offers.
08
What is the Fe 550D TMT Bar price per kg?
The price per kg requires a dated quotation and varies with grade, diameter mix, tonnage, make, length, coating or corrosion-resistant requirement, testing, freight and taxes. Send the complete BOQ and delivery location so suppliers quote the same technical and commercial scope.
09
How is the Fe 550D TMT Bar price per tonne determined?
Price per tonne depends on exact grade and standard, diameter-wise quantities, total tonnage, mill or make preference, MTC, inspection, coating scope, packing and destination. Confirm whether freight, unloading, testing and GST are included and check the quotation’s validity and weighment basis.
10
What is the MOQ for Fe 550D TMT Bar?
The live page states a minimum order quantity of 1 tonne. Actual acceptance remains subject to diameter, grade, coating or CRS requirement and availability. For mixed-diameter orders, provide the weight or piece count of each line instead of only the combined project tonnage.
11
Is Fe 550D TMT Bar available from ready stock?
Stock must be confirmed for the exact grade, standard, diameter, length, make and quantity. A product page or weight chart does not establish immediate availability. State MTC, inspection, coating, bundling and required delivery-date conditions at the enquiry stage.
12
Can an MTC be supplied with Fe 550D TMT Bar?
Request the mill test certificate at enquiry stage and specify the required document type. It should identify the heat or batch, complete grade, standard and reported chemistry and mechanical-test results. Bar markings, bundle tags and traceability expectations should be agreed before ordering.
13
What does the “D” mean in Fe 550D TMT Bar?
The D suffix identifies enhanced ductility requirements under the applicable reinforcement standard. It is part of the grade and should appear on the purchase order, bar identification and MTC. Fe 550d combines a higher strength class with d-grade ductility requirements; it is not an automatic substitute for fe 500d; never drop the suffix during substitution.
14
Can Fe 550D TMT Bar be cut, bent, rebent or welded?
Cutting and bending must follow the approved bar-bending schedule, minimum bend diameter and site procedure. Re-bending or welding should not be assumed acceptable for every grade or diameter. Obtain the structural engineer’s approval and follow the governing code, material standard and qualified welding procedure.
15
Can another TMT grade replace Fe 550D TMT Bar?
No grade substitution should be made from yield strength alone. Strength, ductility class, elongation, tensile-to-yield ratio, chemistry, weldability, bend performance, detailing and design assumptions must be compared. Written approval from the structural engineer and end user is required before supply.
16
Can I buy Fe 550D TMT Bar from a supplier in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai?
Ferrite lists its head office in Mumbai and a facility address at Kalamboli, Navi Mumbai. Provide the delivery postcode, diameter-wise tonnage, longest length, vehicle and unloading constraints and required date so supply logistics can be reviewed for Mumbai, Navi Mumbai and Maharashtra.
17
Can Fe 550D TMT Bar be supplied across India?
The website states nationwide supply. India-wide enquiries should include consignee postcode, grade, diameter-wise tonnage, bar length, bundling, MTC and delivery schedule. Freight and unloading can materially affect landed price, so compare offers on the same ex-works or delivered basis.
