ASTM A615 rebar is most commonly used in low-stress and less demanding applications and makes an economical choice in situations where a tremendous level of tensile strength is not necessarily needed. Its strength and performance characteristics are grade-dependent, and the A615 rebar is available in a full range of standard sizes, including No. 3 through No. 11, No. 14, and No. 18.

Though A615 rebar by definition is comprised simply of deformed, plain carbon steel, it can be enhanced with epoxy coatings or other strength and durability-enhancing treatments if project requirements demand it.
At Harris Supply Solutions, we pride ourselves on offering customers the ability to customize their rebar products, including epoxy coated rebar, fabricated rebar, black rebar, and coiled/spooled rebar, to precision specifications so if you need A615 rebar with augmented performance specifications, we are happy to fill your order.
A615 rebar increases the tensile strength of concrete and can be used for both primary and secondary reinforcement. It helps absorb stress and weight and facilitates the more even distribution of the tension caused by the expansion and contraction of concrete when it is exposed to heat and cold, respectively.
If you have any questions about the suitability of A615 rebar for your intended application, or if you would like to submit a custom order, obtain a price quote, or discuss your specific needs, please contact a member of our customer service team. Harris Supply Solutions is one of the largest suppliers of rebar and steel remesh in the United States, and our extensive production and distribution network enables us to fill your order quickly, for a highly competitive price.
There are many advantages to using A615 grade 60 steel. It shows the highest benefit when strengthening primary and secondary concrete construction. For example, bridge, road, and other constructions all benefit from this grade of rebar.

A615 grade 40 steel adds the most benefit when building materials must hold concrete in compression.
Strength is one of the differentiators for these two rebar grades. The minimum tensile strength for A615 grade 40 steel is 70.05 ksi. It has a minimum yield strength of 40 ksi. This is less than A615 grade 60 which offers a minimum tensile strength at 90 ksi and a minimum yield strength of 60 ksi. Both bar products must have meet ASTM standard specifications for a maximum phosphorus content of .060%.
ANSWER:
ASTM sets the standards for rebar sizes, including A615 GR 60 and 40. ASTM measurements include the weight, area, and diameter. An imperial bar size is available from #3 to #18, where the bar diameter increases by 1/8 inch (i.e., #8 rebar = 8/8 inches or 1 inch) in diameter.
#3 reinforcing bar is a thinner rebar size that can be seen in driveways, outdoor patios and swimming pools, and even some roads and walkways. Strength capacity improves as the imperial size number increases. Kloeckner Metals supplies both of these rebar grades up to size #11. #11 is considered a heavy-duty rebar bar designed for high load structures.
