Accept or reject Chinese PT strand
(OP)
Hi
I have requested mill certificates for the PT strands used on a project. The mill certificates came back from Tianjin stamped saying that they have been tested to and conform with Australian Standards. Should I be concerned with the quality of product used? I have heard stories from fellow people in my industry saying that this material is somewhat below standard and that mill certificates produced are false.
Is there cause for concern?
Regards

Are you in Australia? If you are in the US, I would require comformance to American standards. Do the mill certificates state any test results or data you can verify? If not, I would request this.

We had some piping, complete with certs that should have tested OK for 1000 psi testing that failed at less than 100... good old Chinese pipe! Cert tests were identical... except for the test number!
