Tie Rod for Shuttering / Formwork (12mm, 14mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm) – Manufacturer & Supplier India
A Tie Rod (Formwork Tie Rod / Shuttering Tie Rod) is one of the most important components in
civil engineering shuttering. It holds shuttering plates firmly from both sides and resists
fresh concrete pressure during RCC pouring. Because tie rods maintain alignment, they help achieve
better concrete finish, safer formwork stability, and lower risk of shuttering failure.
AMCO Exports manufactures high-strength threaded tie rods with accurate threading and
controlled diameter, ensuring strong tightening with wing nuts, anchor nuts, and waller plates. Our tie rods are
widely used in column shuttering, wall shuttering, beam formwork, slab shuttering, and infrastructure projects.
Tie Rod Sizes for Formwork & Shuttering
Selecting the correct tie rod size depends on formwork load and pour pressure. AMCO Exports supplies tie rods in the
most demanded construction sizes.
Available Tie Rod Sizes
- Tie Rod 12mm – light shuttering and smaller RCC works
- Tie Rod 14mm – medium shuttering and moderate concrete pressure
- Tie Rod 16mm – most common size for slab, beam & column shuttering
- Tie Rod 20mm – heavy RCC, higher concrete pressure applications
- Tie Rod 25mm – industrial shuttering and infrastructure projects
All sizes are available in 1m / 2m / 3m / 6m lengths, and custom cutting is available for bulk orders.
MASTER TECHNICAL TABLE – Tie Rod Specifications + Weight Chart
Tie rod weight formula: D² / 162 (kg/m) where D = diameter in mm
| Tie Rod Size (mm) | Thread Pitch (TPI) | Outer Dia / OD (mm) | Standard Length Options | Weight / Meter (kg/m) | Weight 1m (kg) | Weight 3m (kg) | Weight 6m (kg) | Recommended Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10mm | 2.5 | 15mm | 1m / 2m / 3m / 6m | 0.62 | 0.62 | 1.86 | 3.72 | Light shuttering |
| 12mm | 2.5 | 15mm | 1m / 2m / 3m / 6m | 0.89 | 0.89 | 2.67 | 5.34 | Slab / small RCC |
| 14mm | 2.5 | 17mm | 1m / 2m / 3m / 6m | 1.21 | 1.21 | 3.63 | 7.26 | Medium shuttering |
| 16mm | 2.5 | 17mm | 1m / 2m / 3m / 6m | 1.58 | 1.58 | 4.74 | 9.48 | Standard slab/beam/column |
| 20mm | 2.5 | 20mm | 1m / 2m / 3m / 6m | 2.47 | 2.47 | 7.41 | 14.82 | Heavy RCC |
| 25mm | 2.5 | 20mm | 1m / 2m / 3m / 6m | 3.86 | 3.86 | 11.58 | 23.16 | Infrastructure / industrial |
Note: Tie rod weights shown are calculated using standard formula; minor variation may occur based on steel grade and threading type.
✅ Tie Rod Weight Formula
| Calculation Type | Formula |
|---|---|
| Weight per meter (kg/m) | D² / 162 |
| Total tie rod weight (kg) | (D² / 162) × Length (m) |
Example:
- 16mm tie rod weight per meter = 16² / 162 = 1.58 kg/m
- 16mm × 6m tie rod weight = 1.58 × 6 = 9.48 kg
Tie Rod Material Grades (MS / EN8 Steel)
Tie rod performance depends strongly on steel grade. For contractors, the ideal selection is based on concrete load and reuse cycle requirement.
| Feature | MS Grade Tie Rod (IS 2062) | EN8 Steel Tie Rod |
|---|---|---|
| Strength | High | Very High |
| Cost | Economical | Higher |
| Reuse Cycles | Good | Excellent |
| Recommended Use | Regular shuttering | Heavy shuttering + high pressure pour |
| Demand | Very high | Project-based requirement |
Tie Rod for Shuttering – Use in Civil Engineering
A tie rod is used to:
- hold shuttering plates in correct position
- resist lateral concrete pressure
