Introduction of JG/T 163-2013

1 Scope This standard specifies the terms and definitions, classification, types and labeling, requirements, test methods, inspection rules, marking, packaging, transportation and storage of the couplers for rebar mechanical splicing. This standard is applicable to the parallel threaded coupler, the taper threaded coupler and the coupler for squeezing sleeve splicing of rebars for rebar mechanical splicing in concrete structures. The couplers described herein are suitable for connecting rebars with the diameter of 12 mm ~ 50 mm that meet the requirements of GB 1499.2 and GB 13014, and this standard may be referenced for couplers for connecting plain rebars, stainless steel rebars and foreign rebards. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.
