Performance Evaluation Criteria

Tensile testing machine

In order to achieve extremely high reliability and stability, KZ rebar coupler in SA or FA class must meet the following severe performance evaluation criteria.

SA (Anti-Seismic) Class: The Strength, Deformation, Ductility, and Toughness shall be equivalent to rebar.
FA (Anti-Fatigue) Class: The Strength, Deformation, Ductility, and Fatigue Life shall be equivalent to rebar.

The table listed below indicates required testing items for each class:
