Low-end post-tensioning jacks

Low-end post-tensioning jacks

(OP)
Hi,

What is the smallest bonded tendon supported by mono-strand post-tensioning jacks ?
A better question would be: What mono-strand post-tensioning jacks support tendons smaller than 1/2" ?
As far as I could find, 0.5" and 0.6" are the two mainstream diameters that all jack vendors seem to support.

I ask because I'm working on a project that would require a much lesser degree of pre-compression than that provided by the 0.5" or 0.6" cables.

Thanks.

RE: Low-end post-tensioning jacks

I would suggest, use .5 or .6" strands but specify much lesser pull that will satisfy your force requirement.

If you like you may also contact the p/t suppliers like VSL, Freyssinet, DSI etc.
