Understanding Steel Wire Specifications

Steel wire comes in diverse specifications to meet various industrial requirements. The primary parameters include diameter, tensile strength, and surface treatment. Standard diameters range from 0.15mm to 10mm for general purposes, while specialized applications may require thicker gauges.

Key Measurement Standards

• Diameter: Measured in millimeters (mm) or gauge numbers (SWG, AWG)
• Tensile Strength: Typically ranges from 300 MPa to 2000 MPa
• Surface Finish: Bright (untreated), galvanized, or coated

Common Steel Wire Sizes and Applications

Galvanized Wire Mesh Specifications

Galvanized wire mesh offers superior corrosion resistance for outdoor applications. Standard specifications include:

• Mesh Size: 1/4" to 4" (6mm to 100mm)
• Wire Diameter: 0.5mm to 3.0mm
• Zinc Coating: 30-300 g/m² (Class 1-3)

Choosing the Right Steel Wire

Consider these factors when selecting steel wire:

1. Environmental conditions (humidity, temperature)
2. Required load-bearing capacity
3. Regulatory compliance (ASTM, ISO, JIS)
4. Budget constraints
