Hot-Dip Galvanized Product Standards
Concrete reinforcement can consist of galvanized steel wire, rods and bars. These corrosion resistant concrete reinforcing products can be produced by batch hot dip galvanizing or by continuous hot dip galvanizing. In either case zinc coatings provide long lasting corrosion protection. Relevant national and international product standards for zinc coated reinforcing steel are listed below.
