Deformed in space 4 in.

Welded wire mesh cross sectional area. What is now called 6x6 w1 4 1 4 used to be called 6x6 w10 10. 2 ft area in. Reinforcing fabric may be used at higher stresses than high tensile rebar resulting in material saving of up to 8. The new designation of wire mesh does seem more complicated than the old.

Mw is for metric w number. Welded mesh fabric reinforcement is manufactured using cold rolled deformed wire electrically resistance welded at the intersections of the longitudinal and transverse wires at the required mesh spacing with minimal loss of strength and cross sectional area. Wri wire reinforcement institute excellence set in. The w1 4xw1 4 means the same thing as 10 gage by 10 gage but the number 1 4 designates the cross sectional area of the wire in hundredths of a square inch.

In times gone by the wire size was given in gauge rather than in cross sectional area by hundredths of a square inch. 2 ft area in. In other words the 1 4 equals 0 014 square inch. Our mesh and wire products are available for construction sites pre cast plants mining operations and distributors throughout canada and the united states.

Rm reinforcing wire mesh reo wire mesh export to australia new zealand singapore etc complies with australian standards as anzs 4671 2001. Steel cross sectional areas may be reduced by using higher strength steels and still maintain equivalent yield strengths. The cold rolled deformed wire used in welded mesh reinforcement fabric has a minimum characteristic strength 0 2 proof stress of 485 mpa compared to 450 mpa for high tensile rebar. Welded mesh fabric reinforcement is manufactured using cold rolled deformed wire electrically resistance welded at the intersections of the longitudinal and transverse wires at the required mesh spacing with minimal loss of strength and cross sectional area.
