Where A is the external diameter of helix (in mm) B is the pitch of helix (in mm) C is the overall height of helix (in mm). Where B is greater than A/5 the formula does not apply. There shall be at least two full turns in the helix. Note, unless A is small relative to d, this shape is fabricated in a closed form and pulled to shape on site.

**The use of hooks as end anchorages is not normally necessary with deformed bars. It should be borne in mind that special precautions such as reducing the speed of bending or increasing the radius of bending may necessary in cold weather. For bending and rebending on site refer to BS 8110. Non-preferred size for grade 250 bars. Non-preferred size for grade 460 bars. NOTE: These radii are the minimum radii of the formers for material complying with the relevant British standard. Certain design situations may call for larger radii and for these the recommendations in BS 8100 should be followed.
