BS 6744:2001+A2:2009 - bend tested
samples from production batches with no
sign of fracture or irregular deformation
(specified bend tests).
cut and bend in accordance with BS
8666:2005, by the methods commonly
used for carbon steel.
avoid contamination with rust staining from
carbon steel
Installation, welding, and coupling
stainless steel tying wire and; spacers of
plastic, concrete, or mortar
welding is generally not recommended on
site - reduction in corrosion resistance (mill
scale and temper colours though being
improved by pickling or blasting)
