Materials5.1 If zinc-coated before weaving, the wire from which thefabric is
16、 woven shall conform to all requirements of Specifi-cation A817 for Type II coating, in the class of coatingspecified (Class 4 or Class 5).5.2 If zinc-coated after weaving, the base metal shall besteel of such quality and purity that, when drawn to the size ofwire specified and coated with zinc afte
17、r fabrication, thefinished fencing shall be of uniform quality and have theproperties and characteristics as prescribed in this specifica-tion.5.3 Zinc for CoatingThe slab zinc, when used for thecoating, shall be any grade of zinc conforming to SpecificationB6.6. Weave6.1 The wire shall be woven thr
18、oughout in the form ofapproximately uniform square mesh, having parallel sides andhorizontal and vertical diagonals of approximately uniformdimensions. The top and bottom of the fabric shall be knuckledor twisted as specified in Section 10.6.2 A typical diamond count for each standard height isshown
19、 in Table 1. Other diamond counts are permissibleprovided that they are consistent within a lot. The purchaserhas the option to specify the diamond count (see 4.1.6).7. Size of Mesh7.1 The size of mesh shall be as indicated in Table 4.7.2 The permissible variation from the specified size ofmesh shal
20、l be 618 in. (3.2 mm) for all mesh sizes larger than114 in. (31.75 mm), and 6116 in. (61.6 mm) for all mesh sizes114 in. (31.75 mm) and smaller.7.3 The size of mesh shall be determined by measuring theminimum clear distance between the wires forming the parallelsides of the mesh, and determined as t
21、he average of tworeadings taken at right angles to each other.8. Size of Wire8.1 Chain-link fabric shall be fabricated from wire diam-eters as listed in Specification A817, with a permissiblevariation from the specified diameter of the coated wire of60.005 in. (60.13 mm).9. Height of Fabric9.1 Chain
22、-link fabric shall be furnished in the standardheights shown in Table 4. Custom order fabric is available inheights to and including 20 ft. (6.10 m). The height of fabricshall be the overall dimension from ends of twists or knuckles.Permissible variation from the specified height shall be 61 in.(625
23、 mm) for standard selvage on fabric with mesh sizes 1 in.(25.4 mm) and over 612 in. (613 mm) for all fabric with meshsizes less than 1 in. (25.4 mm).10. Selvage10.1 Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, fabricswith2or218 in. (50 or 54 mm) mesh, in heights 60 in. (1520mm) and under shall be kn
24、uckled at both selvages. Fabric 72in. (1830 mm) high and over shall be knuckled at one selvageand twisted at the other. (WarningTwisted selvages forfence fabric under 72 in. (1830 mm) in height are notrecommended because of consumer safety considerations.)10.2 The selvages of fabrics with meshes of
25、less than 2 in.(50 mm) shall be knuckled.11. Weight of Zinc Coating11.1 The weight of zinc coating on the fabric may beordered in two coating weight classes as follows:11.1.1 Class 1The weight of zinc coating shall not be lessthan 1.2 oz/ft2(366 g/m2) of uncoated wire surface as deter-mined from the
26、 average of two or more specimens, and not lessthan 1.08 oz/ft2(330 g/m2) of uncoated wire surface for anyindividual specimen.11.1.2 Class 2The weight of zinc coating shall not be lessthan 2 oz/ft2(610 g/m2) of uncoated wire surface as determinedfrom the average of two or more specimens, and not les
27、s than1.8 oz/ft2(500 g/m2) of uncoated wire surface for any indi-vidual specimen.NOTE 2Fabric galvanized after fabrication is normally not producedwith a Class 2 coating on 0.120-in. (3.05-mm) or 0.113-in. (2.87-mm)wire or with mesh sizes smaller than 2 inches.TABLE 1 Typical Diamond CountANOTE 1Oth

31、t ofcoating shall be determined on one or more pieces of wireremoved from the fabric. These specimens may be of anylength over 12 in. (300 mm) and shall include both bends andstraight sections, but shall not include either twists or knuckles.11.3 The weight of coating shall be determined in accor-da
32、nce with Test Method A90/A90M.12. Breaking Strength12.1 Wire constituting the fabric shall meet the minimumbreaking strength listed in the Breaking Strength table ofSpecification A817 when tested in accordance with TestMethods and Definitions A370. Specimens to establish confor-mance to this require
33、ment shall consist of individual picketsfrom a section of the fence fabric. The specimens shall be ofsufficient length so as to be firmly gripped in the testingmachine after straightening. The actual gage length (distancebetween jaws) of the specimen shall be limited to the unde-formed length of wir
34、e between the two adjacent straightenedbends.13. Workmanship13.1 Chain-link fence fabric shall be produced by methodsrecognized as good commercial practices. The zinc coating ongalvanized-after-weaving fabric shall be applied in a continu-ous process and shall not be applied to the fabric in roll fo
35、rm.The galvanized before-weaving fabric shall be woven usingproven industry procedures to ensure a smooth consistentsurface without penetrating to the substrate, except at theselvage cut ends, see Note 3.13.2 Excessive roughness, blisters, sal ammoniac spots,bruises, flaking, and white rust shall be
36、 noted. The GalvanizedAfter Weaving (GAW) process shall include the use of appro-priate apparatus for producing galvanized fabric so as toprevent excess material in the elbow joints that form thediamond mesh. The finished product shall exhibit free inde-pendent motion of overlapping wires that form
37、the diamondmesh when in a free or installed state of tension. Any of theabove described defects listed in 13.1 and 13.2 that willcompromise the function of the product shall provide a basisfor rejection.NOTE 3On fabric that is zinc-coated before weaving, rust formationson the cut ends of the wire at
38、 the fabric selvages are inherent character-istics of this material and do not warrant rejection of the fabric.14. Standard Length of Rolls14.1 The standard length of roll shall be 50 ft (15.24 m) 61 % except as otherwise agreed upon at the time of purchase.14.2 The length of roll shall be determine
39、d by unrolling aroll of fabric on a flat surface and exerting tension byappropriate means to remove all slack. The tension appliedshall not reduce the actual height of the fabric by more than116in./ft (5.3 mm/m) of height or by more than12 in. (12.7 mm),whichever is less.15. Sampling and Number of T
40、ests15.1 One roll from every 50 rolls or fraction thereof in a lotshall be taken at random as a sample for test purposes. In nocase shall less than two samples be tested, except when the lotis less than 10 rolls, only one roll shall be selected for thesample.15.2 Sample rolls selected shall be inspe
41、cted for weave(Section 6), size of mesh (Section 7), diamond count (6.2), wiresize (Section 8), height of fabric (Section 9), selvage (Section10) and length (Section 14).TABLE 2 Available Mesh Sizes and Zinc Coating WeightsASpecified Diameter of Coated Wire, in.
