Dear Sir,
With reference to the above, the Given samples of Reinforcement Steel Bars (8mm, 10 mm, 12 mm, 16 mm & 20
mm) TMT Fe-500 (Jindal Panther Make) has been tested for the Nominal Weight, Proof Strength, Tensile strength
and Percentage Elongation as per IS 1786. Test results are given in the following tables.
