Mechanical Strength Testing at Tarmal
Tarmal steel products undergo comprehensive mechanical testing to ensure they perform reliably under real-world construction loads.
Universal Testing Machine (UTM)
Determines yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation to confirm compliance with KEBS standards.
Rebend & Bend Tests
Validate ductility and flexibility, ensuring reinforcement bars withstand bending and rebending without cracking.
Hardness Testing
Brinell / Rockwell / Vickers hardness tests ensure consistent material hardness aligned with required strength grades.
Pull-Out Test Setup
Measures bonding strength between steel bars and concrete to ensure superior anchorage and load transfer.
Result:
Steel that delivers consistent strength, controlled flexibility, and long-term durability across structural applications.
In-House Automated Quality Control
Tarmal operates three dedicated in-house testing laboratories, enabling continuous, real-time quality verification at every stage of production.
Furnace & Chemical Analysis Lab
Optical Emission Spectrometer (OES) and Carbon–Sulphur Analyzers precisely measure chemical composition (C, Mn, Si, P, S, Cr, Ni) to confirm steel grades.
Rebar Testing Laboratory
Automated tensile, bend, rebend, hardness, and dimensional tests ensure every batch meets KEBS mechanical standards.
Galvanized Wire Testing Lab
Advanced coating thickness gauges, adhesion tests, salt spray chambers, and zinc bath chemical controls verify corrosion resistance and coating integrity.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
Ultrasonic Flaw Detection and MPI identify internal or surface defects without damaging the material.
Result:
Consistent quality, faster validation, and full traceability — without compromise.
