Shanghai Shenjia Metal Products develops 300k ASTM A416 pc strand for The Crispin Company

The Crispin Company is proud to announce the development of a ˝”ASTM A416 300k pc strand for specialized applications in both the post-tensioning and prestressed concrete industries.

Indeed, we have successfully supplied the A416 300k strand to several post-tensioners and prestressers from Shanghai Shenjia Metal Products, a partner for pc strand supply to The Crispin Company since 1995.

The 300k strand is produced under the strictest QC procedures implemented by Shanghai Shenjia, newly certified mill by the Post-Tensioning Institute.

We are excited to offer this grade to these industries as it encompasses high yield and breaking for the same diameter and area as the ˝” ASTM A416 270k. This opens a whole new realm of design to architects. With time, we believe stress loads will be pushed to new elevations and new possibilities in architectural designs.

The specifications:

  • Nominal Diameter: ˝”
  • Nominal Area: 0.153
  • Grade: 300k
  • Weight:  520 lbs/1,000 lft
  • Min. Break:  48,450 lbs
  • Min. Yield:  43,605 lbs
  • Packaging:   12,000 lft
  • Wrapping:  CalTrans wrapped

The 300k will be in inventory in our Los Angeles, Houston, and Tampa warehouses.
