Steel Reinforcement Rebar, 16mm Diameter, 12m Length

Key specs: 16 mm diameter, 12 m length, carbon steel composition, rust- and moisture-resistant coating for outdoor use, and the ability to be cut to size as needed. Approximate weight is about 19 kg per 12 m piece, calculated from standard steel density and cross-sectional area.

Use a hacksaw or angle grinder with a cutting blade designed for metal. Secure the bar on a stable surface, wear eye and hand protection, and deburr the cut edge after cutting. If you’re working with multiple pieces, mark and cut to size before bending or placing in concrete to ensure a clean fit.

For planning reinforcement, you can compare it with: 12mm x 6m Union Steel Rebar (shorter length and smaller diameter) — https://fepy.com/product/union-steel-rebar-12mm-6m; 16mm x 6m Union Steel Rebar (same diameter, shorter length) — https://fepy.com/product/union-steel-rebar-16mm-6m; and 20mm x 12m Union Steel Rebar (larger diameter for heavy-duty use) — https://fepy.com/product/union-steel-rebar-20mm-12m. Each option offers different overlap, coverage, and handling considerations depending on your structural needs.

Common uses include reinforcing concrete slabs, beams, columns, footings, foundations, and outdoor structures. It’s also suitable for larger DIY projects where extra strength is required, such as reinforced furniture frames or garden features that will be embedded in concrete.

Plan reinforcement layout with appropriate spacing and overlaps as dictated by your structural design. Use proper supports (chairs) to keep rebar in the correct position within the concrete formwork, ensure adequate concrete cover, and follow engineer specifications for laps and bonds. Avoid sharp bends and kinking; bend only within recommended radii for 16 mm bars and secure bars before pouring concrete.

Yes, it is designed for typical construction use as a reinforcing bar. Always verify local building codes and structural requirements with a licensed engineer. Handle with standard PPE (gloves, eye protection) and inspect for any coating damage or corrosion before use.

Store off the ground and under cover to protect from moisture. Keep pieces elevated on supports to prevent bending and surface damage. If stored outdoors for extended periods, inspect for rust or coating wear before use.

This 16mm x 12m rebar offers strong structural reinforcement at a cost-effective price point, with corrosion-resistant coating for longer outdoor durability and the flexibility to cut to size on site, reducing waste and labor time for many typical concrete projects.

Bulk quantities and alternative lengths are typically available to meet larger projects or specific design requirements. If you need a different size, check the related rebar options on Fepy (for example, 12mm-6m or 20mm-12m variants) and consider bulk pricing for larger orders.
