The differences between the A, B and C designations are complex and relate to structural tolerances. For mesh products, B500A grade steel is usually used, and for rebar, B500B grade steel is used. B500C steel is rarely required and it is always worthwhile for the structural engineer to check whether B500B grade steel can be used instead of B500C, as B500C usually has a significant cost overhead.

PRODUCT USES

Widely used in civil engineering projects such as houses, bridges, roads and especially railways.
