another question on metric rebar designations

[BorisKoratPE]

I've got a bunch that look like this:

13T32c195L8000

That's 13 x 32 mm diameter bars and then...

c195? spaced at 195 mm? OK, that's a tight, say, 8 inches, but it would make sense for what I've got...

L8000? 8000 mm long?

Thanks for any information!

There should be a legend on the drawings. If not, ask the design engineer.

...indeed there should but, alas, it is not there. The design engineer is far away and unavailable and thus I asked the question, in all humility, on this site, my last resort...

So... the "L" strongly appears to be length of individual rebars for take-off purposes. For me, it's odd to see take-off information on design plans, but it certainly is useful, just not to me.

Has anyone encountered or found it desirable to confound one's independent reviewer with more information than might be necessary?

You got it with the first one except I've never heard of 32mm bars and maybe the T could be an X. Metric bars are 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, etc.
