DETAN tension rod systems are used in many fields of
applications:
trussed elements and wind bracing in roofs and walls
bracing of pylons and canopies
ties for wood and steel beams
bracing of glass façade
bracing of footbridges
Extensive system solutions help to realize complex constructions
and interesting designs for internal and external areas.
DETAN tension rods are available in stainless steel (DETAN-E) and
steel (DETAN-S).
Numerous product improvements have increased the quality of the
DETAN range again, as it fully meets the demands for high quality
architectural products.
New approval for DETAN-E
DETAN-E in tension rod system stainless steel now with European
Technical Approval ETA-11/0311
an additional type-test report based on the ETA approval and
Eurocode 3 allows a straightforward application of allowable loads
from audited tables
permanent quality and production monitoring by supervisory
institution
CE-certification recognized in all European Union
countries
25% higher load capacity due to the rod's tension
capacity
tension rods are fully loadable (no reduction factor for single
system sizes has to be considered)
design of allowable loads considering country-specific
coefficients M1 and M2 (NAD) with the new DETAN software
minimum requirements (strength class 235) to building-site
connection plates simplify supply
EU wide standardised design concept
no requirement for national approvals or certificates
cross couplers are now available in stainless steel
cross couplers are a cost effective alternative to anchor discs
for cross bracings
Design of the compression rods
dimensioning of DETAN-E compression rods in stainless steel
strength class 235 acc. to General Building Approval Z-30.3-6
dimensioning of DETAN-E compression rod in stainless steel
strength class 235, acc. to Eurocode 3 (EN1993-1-4)
Approval for DETAN-S
tension rod system DETAN-S with European Technical Approval
ETA-05/0207
an additional type-test report based on the ETA approval and
Eurocode 3 allows a straightforward application of design
values from tables
CE-certification recognized in all European union
countries
tension rods are fully loadable (no reduction factor for single
system sizes has to be considered)
design of allowable loads considering country-specific
coefficients M1 and M2 (NAD) with the new DETAN software
EU wide standardised design concept

Pre-assembled delivery
The DETAN rod systems up to and including 60 mm system diameter are
delivered pre-assembled to the customer (from size 76 in individual
parts). Large system lengths are separated from the sockets during
transit.
Economic and time saving
No additional assembly work required on site
No danger of incorrect assembly through mix-ups
During the preassembly the rod is set to the maximum adjustment
position („om-oj“). The final adjustment to the exact and required
system length is done on site by turning the thread
Free movement of threads ensured
Reliable and durable
tension rods are completely hot-dip galvanized after the
manufacturing process
no danger of hydrogen embrittlement
no flaking zinc
large spanner notches for reliable rod tightening
forks and locking nuts are hot-dip galvanized
internal threads are coated
threads are optimally protected against humidity and
contamination
standard sealing set for rods with diameters starting from 16
mm
DETAN Compression rod
To complement the DETAN Tension Rod system, HALFEN also offers
compression rods that fit in perfectly both technically and
visually with the system. Compression rods consist of large
diameter tubes, which are tapered at the ends so they can be
connected to standard DETAN forks.
The DETAN pretension unit - Advantages and basics
Exact pre-tensioning is very difficult on system sizes from 30
upwards, this requires special aids such as a hydraulic pretension
units. The HALFEN pretension unit for use with DETAN M30 - M60 rods
systems provides an effective solution with load transfer using a
threaded-flange preventing damages to the rod surface.
Additional advantages
the system is optimised for DETAN Rods
extra lightweight aluminium design for simple assembly
targeted hydraulic application for tension up to 425 kN
no power-source needed
the high-quality galvanized surface is protected by special
load transfer flanges
simple control of load application with a calibrated
manometer
additional control using optional extensometer, even after load
application (if previously gauge marked)
functional, simple & robust
The DETAN Rod System: The advantages at a glance

Corrosion protection
DETAN Rod Systems offer high quality finishes and seals to protect
against corrosion, especially in sensitive areas such as the
thread. A further improvement; the spanner notches are milled
before the rods are hot-dip galvanized. The forks and locking nuts
are coated with a high-quality hot-dip galvanizing for excellent
long-term protection against corrosion, as well as good mechanical
resistance.
