Welded Wire Mesh

Welded Wire Mesh
Our range of welded wire mesh is supreme in quality, which is produced conforming to IS: 1566-1982 with long and cross wire spacing varying from 25 mm to 150 mm with 2 mm to 6 mm wire diameter. The intersections are rigidly welded and each of them has the capacity to withstand the shear stress up to 210 N\mm2 (IS: 4948-1974) on the reference area of the longitudinal wire. Our range is widely used in RCC-building construction. It gives good reinforcement solution for industrialized concrete constructions. Following are the advantages of the welded wire mesh:
Higher Characteristic Design Strength:
The welded wire mesh has a better characteristic strength point of view, usage of welded mesh with Fe480 grade results in savings in steel area or steel weight required to the tune of 13.55% vis-à-vis HYSD bars of Fe 415 grade and to the tune of 47.92 % vis-à-vis plain mild steel bars of Fe 250 grade.
Better Bonding Behavior:
The bonding capacity of welded mesh is excellent. As against the peripheral surface area which is responsible for bonding to concrete in the case of individual bars, the rigid mechanical interconnections by means of welds to cross wires are mainly responsible for stress transfer from concrete to steel and vice-versa in the case of welded mesh.
Better and Economic Crack Resistance with Thinner Wires and Closer Spacing:
The welds have a strong mechanical anchorage behavior at each the intersections are further responsible in imparting an immense deal of homogeneity to the R.C.C section as a whole. The two dimensional uniform stress distribution of the welded mesh with the concrete achieves better plate behavior in the slab. Further, welded mesh usage affords the possibility of using thinner wires at closer spacing. The close spacing of thinner wires and the two-way behavior of welded mesh minimizes the crack widths and preserves structural integrity of the slab.
Load stresses in the residential slabs are low but where minimum thicknesses of 75 to 125mm are used from serviceability or other reliability criteria. Following are some of the specifications of our assortment:

Savings of Labor,Time and Binding Wire:
This consumption saved works out to about 2 to 5% of the reinforcement used in terms of cost of steel saved. Besides, the added benefit is avoidance of those dangling ends of binding wire which are the starting fuses for the virus of corrosion into the reinforcement.
