This East African Standard specifies requirements, test methods and sampling for hot-dip galvanized plain and corrugated steel sheets for roofing and general use. This standard does not cover all the special purpose profiles
This East African Standard specifies the requirements and sectional properties of cold rolled steel sections of thickness of 1 mm to 8 mm for use in structural and general engineering applications
This East African Standard specifies requirements,sampling and test methods for steel wires and wire products used for fencing purposes
This East African Standard specifies the requirements for steel sheet in coils and cut lengths for high-strength lowalloy (HSLA) steel supplied as hot-rolled sheet and cold-rolled sheet. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (EAS 196:2013) which is hereby withdrawn.
This East African Standard provides general requirements for the supply of metallurgical materials. This East African Standard does not cover all the other provisions relating to a contract which should be separately agreed between the contracting parties
This East African Standard specifies requirements, sampling and test methods for continuous hot-dip aluminium-zinc (AZ) coated plain and corrugated steel sheets for roofing, cladding, fencing, fabrication and general use. The product is intended for applications where the corrosion characteristics of aluminium coupled with those of zinc are most desired. This standard does not cover the special purpose profiles.
This East African Standard specifies technical requirements for plain bars to be used as reinforcement in non-structural concrete.
This East African Standard specifies technical requirements for ribbed bars to be used as reinforcement in concrete. This standard applies to: a) ribbed bars supplied in straight lengths; b) steel grades not intended for welding which are, B500A-R, B500B-R, B500C-R, B600A-R, B600B-R, B600C-R, B600D-R, B700A-R, B700B-R, B700C-R and B700D-R; and c) steel grades intended for welding which are, B500AWR, B500BWR, B500CWR, B500DWR, B550DWR and B600DWR.
This East African Standard specifies technical requirements for factory made sheets and rolls of welded fabric, manufactured from steel wires or bars with diameters from 4 mm to 16 mm and designed for the reinforcement of concrete structures and the ordinary reinforcement of pre stressed concrete structures
This East African Standard gives standard definitions related to roofs and roofing processes.
This East African Standard specifies requirements, sampling and test methods for pre-painted metal-coated steel sheets and coils.
This East African Standard specifies constructional requirements, sampling and test methods for non-pressurized stainless steel storage tanks for food related items.
This code of practice provides guidelines for the use of galvanized and aluminum zinc corrugated steel sheets for roofing and wall covering. Recommendations are given on materials and design, construction and maintenance, together with information on weather-tightness, durability, thermal insulation, fire hazard, rainwater drainage from roofs and other characteristics.
This East African Standard specifies the requirements, sampling and test methods for cold drawn mild steel wire of sizes 0.15 mm to 10 mm diameter for engineering applications with exception of fencing applications. Steel wires and steel wire products for fencing are covered in EAS 135
