Gabion

Wire and Mesh Specifications
WIRE ZINC COATED:
All tests on the wire are performed prior to making of the mesh.
Tensile strength: All wires used for the manufacture of gabions, have a maximum tensile strength of500n/mm2 equal with 500 MPa according to 10223-3 and ASTMA641/A641M-03.
Elongation: The test is made on a sample of no less than 300mm long. Elongation is not less than 12%, on a specimen of minimum 250mm long according to 10223-3 and ASTM A370-97a.
Zinc coating: The amount of zinc is determined in accordance to 10244-2 (Class A)- successor of BS 443: 1982 and ASTM A641/A641M-03, Class III soft temper coating.
Adhesion of zinc coating: The adhesion of the zinc coating to the wire when the wire is wrapped six turns around a mandrel having four times the diameter of the wire, it does not flake or crack when rubbing it with the bare fingers, according to 10218-1, 10244-1 and ASTM A641/A641M-03.
