Mechanical Splicing Systems with Upset Parallel Threaded Couplers
A mechanical splice system with upset parallel threaded
coupler is one in which the ends of the reinforcement
bars are saw cut and then hydraulically enlarged by cold
forging, such that the core diameter of the bar is
increased to a pre-determined diameter. A parallel thread
is cut or formed onto the upsized/enlarged end of the
reinforcing bars, which are then connected by a coupler
having matching internal parallel threads
Features
Cold forging enhances the tensile strength of the coupler, ensuring a secure, durable connection that can withstand high-stress conditions.
These couplers ensure even load distribution across the connected rebars, reducing stress points and enhancing the overall structural integrity of the construction.
The cold forging process preserves the rebar’s cross-sectional area, maintaining its original strength and ensuring maximum performance.
Manufactured from high-quality, corrosion-resistant materials, these couplers perform well in harsh environments, such as coastal regions or areas with high humidity.
