What is the difference between lapping and couplers?

TMT bars can be connected via welding or lapping, but both methods require on-site work.TMT coupler have long construction times, are highly affected by weather, and offer low connection strength. In contrast, TMT coupler can be prefabricated in processing plants. TMT bar coupler enable fast installation, save construction time, and provide high-strength mechanical connections that meet seismic and tensile requirements. Compared with traditional lapping, TMT bar couplers reduce rebar usage and are suitable for almost all concrete structures, such as bridges, tunnels, and high-rise buildings.

How to use TMT bar couplers?

There are multiple types of couplers to choose from: For threaded TMT couplers: First, process the ends of the rebars into threads. Then use tools to screw the coupler onto the two rebars to complete the connection. For non-threaded TMT couplers: Connections are made based on the coupler's specific design. Common methods include crimped connection, bolted connection, pressed connection, and grouted connection. For details, refer to the coupler's product specifications.

What are the applications of TMT bar couplers?

Construction projects: High-rise buildings, residential buildings, bridges. Infrastructure: Tunnels, roads, docks. Seismic structures: Areas prone to earthquakes.

What is a TMT Bar Coupler?

TMT bar, whose full name is Thermo Mechanically Treated Bars, is widely used in high-rise buildings and infrastructure projects in the Indian and Southeast Asian markets.

Compared with traditional rebar connections, the TMT bar coupler is specifically designed for the heat-treated properties of TMT. TMT coupler is mainly used to connect the ends of two TMT rebars, ensuring the continuity of rebars and force transmission in structural engineering. CHEERON TMT rebar couplers meet international reinforcement coupler types standards Type 1 and Type 2, with tensile strength reaching 100%-125% of the yield strength of TMT rebars.

coupler forTMT bar are designed according to the diameter of TMT rebars, with common specifications including 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 32mm, 40mm, etc. TMT bar coupler are made of high-strength carbon steel such as 45C and 40Cr; TMT rebar couplers are enhanced with epoxy resin coating and galvanizing processes to improve corrosion resistance. Cheeron offers project-specific customization and welcomes customers to visit our factory.

Advantages of TMT Bar Couplers

Shorten construction time: Rebar couplers can be prefabricated and processed in the factory in advance, eliminating the need for on-site processing. Meanwhile, coupler installation minimizes the impact of harsh weather on the project.
Reduce material consumption: TMT coupler replace traditional lap splicing or welding, which cuts down the usage of both rebars and concrete.
High connection strength & excellent seismic performance: TMT bar coupler provide connection strength equal to or even higher than that of the rebar itself, making them suitable for high-stress environments and delivering outstanding seismic performance.
Customized connection solutions: Tailored coupler connection solutions are offered for different construction requirements, such as solutions for positioning connections (non-rotating rebars) or reducing-diameter connections.
