Bartek PTM Rebar Splice System

The Bartel PTM Rebar Splice System is a parallel threaded mechanical splicing system for the connection of reinforcing bars from 12 to 40mm, it is designed and manufactured to meet or exceed the requirements of major international standards such as: AS 3600, AS5100, ISO 15835, Eurocode 2, BS 8110, DIN 1045, ACI 318, IBC, AASHTO, ASME Sec III Div 2. Additional Advantages from Bartek PTM Rebar Splice System • No reduction of rebar cross section area, full rebar strength maintained. • Standard ISO Parallel thread of great compatibility for connection with other items. • One standard coupler suitable for most splicing requirements. • The state of the art Machinery we have developed ensures the thread made on the rebar is the same high quality as the couplers we supply

PTM Machine

Upsetter

The PTM Upsetting machine ensures no reduction of rebar cross sectional area, standard 500N Deformed Rebar is inserted into the Upsetter machine, where a forged upset is created 'mushrooming' the end of the bar, where the thread will go, ensuring no reduction of cross sectional area.

Threader

After the upsetting process, the upset end is then introduced to the threading machine, where the high quality CNC technology fully automatic cutting machine will thread the end of the bar.

Why a Mechanical Splice? Due to the growing technical challenges in construction industry, traditional methods for connecting rebar, such as lapping or welding, is no longer the frst choice. More and more construction codes prefer mechanical splice because it provides better structural integrity while minimizing costs. A lapped splice is dependent on the concrete quality for load transfer so any degradation of the concrete will signifcantly affect the performance of the splice. With mechanical splices, the load transfer is conducted by the mechanical coupler so it’s independent of the concrete for the load transfer, which greatly increases the integrity of the structure. Performance • The splice works just like a continuous piece of rebar. • Offers greater strength than lapping with better reliability. • Provides full ductility independent of concrete conditions. Design & Planning • Greater fexibility in design preferred by the designers. • Rebar congestion reduced and steel-to-concrete ratio improved. • More effcient design results in smaller and stronger structure. Economical • No more lapping lengths needed, rebar waste minimized. • Easy and quick installation accelerate the construction with improved effciency. • Less experienced labor required and labor costs reduced. Additional Advantages from Bartek PTM Rebar Splice System • No reduction of rebar cross section area, full rebar strength maintained. • Standard ISO Parallel thread of great compatibility for connection with other items. • One standard coupler suitable for most splicing requirements. • The state of the art Machinery we have developed ensures the thread made on the rebar is the same high quality as the couplers we supply.
