Scope

GB/T 14370-2015 is the English-translated version of 预应力筋用锚具、夹具和连接器.

GB/T 14370-2015 is the Chinese national standard on anchorage, grip and coupler for prestressing tendons, in the field of construction materials and building. The /T suffix marks it as a recommended standard: it is not compulsory by itself, but it becomes binding as soon as a contract, a tender or a customer specification calls it up - which in practice is how most foreign buyers meet it. It was issued on 11 September 2015 by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China; Standardization Administration of China, and has been in force since 1 August 2016. Classification: ICS 91.080.40, CCS Q73. This page is published from the official record of the standard held by the Chinese standards administration: the identification, the dates, the classification and the issuing body are taken from there. The clause text, the tables and the numeric limits are in the document itself, which is delivered complete in English translation.
