Welded wire mesh cross sectional area.

Steel cross sectional areas may be reduced by using higher strength steels and still maintain equivalent yield strengths. 2 ft area in. Wri wire reinforcement institute excellence set in. Rm reinforcing wire mesh reo wire mesh export to australia new zealand singapore etc complies with australian standards as anzs 4671 2001.

2 ft area in. 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. Deformed in space 4 in. Eastern reinforcing has been manufacturing welded wire mesh products since 1972.

In times gone by the wire size was given in gauge rather than in cross sectional area by hundredths of a square inch. Reinforcing fabric may be used at higher stresses than high tensile rebar resulting in material saving of up to 8. Specification for rm reinforcing wire mesh reo wire mesh for rectangular mesh rl square meshes sl with edge lapping wires square mesh sl. The following chart has been developed to show equivalent yield strengths for grade 40 rebar grade 60 rebar and 65 k s i.

What is now called 6x6 w1 4 1 4 used to be called 6x6 w10 10. Mw is for metric w number. 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. 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.

In other words the 1 4 equals 0 014 square inch.
