FAQs About Tribrachs and Adapters
What is rebar and why is it used in concrete?
Rebar, short for reinforcing bar, is a steel bar used to strengthen concrete. Concrete is incredibly strong under compression (squeezing forces) but weak under tension (pulling forces). Rebar adds the necessary tensile strength, acting like a skeleton within the concrete to prevent it from cracking and breaking apart under load.
Is it okay to use rebar that has some rust on it?
A thin layer of surface rust (also known as mill scale) is generally acceptable and can even improve the bond between the rebar and the concrete. However, heavy, flaky rust that reduces the diameter and weight of the bar should be cleaned off with a wire brush before use, as it can compromise the structural integrity.
What is the main purpose of a rebar cap?
The number one purpose of a rebar cap is job site safety. They are placed on the ends of exposed vertical rebar to prevent serious impalement injuries if a worker were to fall on them. They also prevent scrapes, scratches, and damage to equipment.
Are all rebar caps OSHA-compliant for impalement protection?
No, and this is a critical distinction.
- Standard "Mushroom" Caps (Unrated): These small, round caps are designed only to prevent scratches and rips. They do not provide impalement protection and are not OSHA-compliant for that purpose.
- Steel-Reinforced "Planar" Caps (Rated): These are larger, flatter caps with a steel plate embedded in the plastic. They are specifically engineered to withstand the force of a fall and prevent impalement. These are the only caps that meet OSHA standard 29 CFR 1926.701(b) for impalement protection.
How do I choose the right size rebar cap?
The rebar cap size must match the rebar size. For example, a #4 rebar cap is designed to fit snugly on a #4 (1/2") rebar. A loose-fitting cap can easily fall off, creating a safety hazard. Check the product description to ensure the cap size corresponds to the rebar you are using.
Mark Your Point: Professional Survey Rebar & Caps
For land surveyors, establishing permanent, identifiable property corners is fundamental. Rebar is the industry standard for survey monuments due to its durability, longevity, and magnetic properties, making it easy to relocate. Paired with a customized rebar cap, it creates a professional and legally defensible boundary marker that provides crucial safety and clear identification for years to come.
Why Rebar is the Surveyor's Choice
Rebar (reinforcing bar) is the go-to choice for setting property corners and survey points for several key reasons. Its iron content provides a strong magnetic signature, allowing for quick and precise relocation with a magnetic locator. It's incredibly strong, able to be driven into tough ground conditions, and cost-effective, making it ideal for projects of any scale. When you set a piece of rebar, you're creating a point that will last.
The Critical Role of Rebar Caps: Safety & Identification
A rebar cap is much more than just a finishing touch; it serves two vital functions:
- Safety First: An exposed piece of rebar is a serious safety hazard on any property or job site. A brightly colored plastic cap makes the monument highly visible and covers the sharp edge, preventing potential injuries.
- Professional Identification: Stamped rebar caps are your professional signature. We can customize caps with your name, company, and license number, clearly identifying your work. This is essential for legal records and professional liability. We offer caps in durable plastic, aluminum, and brass to meet your needs.
