in sizes from 8mm to 32mm. TMT bars are
said to offer improved corrosion resistance
and welding strength, higher earthquake
resistance, high bending capability and
excellent ductability. TMT bars are also useful
in high-rise constructions.
Himanshu Golchha, director of the Hulas TMT
bars division, said that the product has been
launched to cater to the country’s growing
construction activities.
Hulas has the capacity to manufacture
100,000 tonnes of TMT bars and over 4,000
tonnes of structural steel annually at its plant
located in Biratnagar.
Hulas has been manufacturing various
steel products for five decades, and its
TMT bars have already received several
quality awards. “A series of stage inspection,
unprecedented chemistry and stringent
checks ensure that Hulas TMT bars have
higher reliability compared to normal TMT
bars,” said Golchha.

Calculating cable
Nexans has launched Easycalc™, a free
cable-sizing tool. Easycalc is aimed at
professional electricians and installers to
help them quickly and easily determine
the appropriate cable cross-section for
their electrical installation. Distributors will
also benefit from the tool to support their
own customers on a day-to-day basis by
performing the calculation themselves.
Correct cable sizing is essential to ensure
the proper functioning of an electrical
installation. The installed cables must ensure
the full and safe electrical supply of the
whole installation.
Easycalc is available online from the Nexans
website or as a cell phone and tablet
application for use on the move. The smart
phone application can be downloaded
from the Apple Store and Google Play, and
requires an Internet connection to work.
Following the tool’s successful launch in
France, Nexans plans to expand its roll-out
to other countries in the near future.
