Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 chain link fence fabrica fencing material made fromwire helicall
5、y wound and interwoven in such a manner as toprovide a continuous mesh without knots or ties, except in theform of knuckling or of twisting the ends of the wires to formthe selvage of the fabric.3.1.2 diamond countthe number of diamond openingsfrom one edge of the fabric to the other. The diamond co
6、unt ofa given fabric shall begin at the first completed diamond at oneedge and continue to the unfinished (one-half) of full openingat the other edge.3.1.3 knucklinga term used to describe the type of selvageobtained by interlocking adjacent pairs of wire ends and thenbending the wire ends back into
7、 a loop. The loop shall beclosed or nearly closed to a measurement less than the diameterof the wire.3.1.4 twistinga term used to describe the type of selvageobtained by twisting adjacent pairs of wire ends together in aclose helix of 112 machine turns, which is equivalent to threefull twists, and c
8、utting the wire ends at an angle. The wire endsbeyond the twist shall be at least14 in. 6.35 mm long. Thistype of selvage is not used on fabric with a mesh size of lessthan 2 in.4.

Other diamond counts are permissibleprovided that they are consistent w
16、ithin a lot. The purchaserhas the option to specify the diamond count (4.1.5).7. Size of Mesh7.1 The size of mesh shall be as indicated in Table 2.7.2 The permissible variation from the specified size ofmesh shall be 618 in. 3.175 mm for all mesh sizes except 1in. 25.4 mm, and 6116 in. 1.5875 mm for
17、 1-in. 25.4 mmmesh size.7.3 The size of mesh shall be determined by measuring theminimum clear distance between the wires forming the parallelsides of the mesh, and calculated as the average of tworeadings taken at right angles to each other.8. Size of Wire8.1 Chain link fabric shall be fabricated f
18、rom wire diametersas listed in Table 2, with a permissible variation from thespecified diameter of 60.005 in. 0.127 mm.9. Height of Fabric9.1 Chain link fabric shall be furnished in the standardheights shown in Table 2. The height of fabric shall be theoverall dimension from ends of twists or knuckl
19、es. Permissiblevariation from the specified height shall be 61 in. 25.4 mmfor 134 in. 44.45 mm and 2 in. 50.8 mm mesh and 612 in.12.7 mm for 1 in. 25.4 mm mesh.10. Selvage10.1 Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser, fabricswith 2 in. 50.8 mm mesh used in heights 60 in. 1524 mmand under shall be
20、 knuckled at both selvages. Fabric of heights72 in. 1830 mm and above shall be knuckled at one selvageand twisted at the other.10.2 The selvages of all fabrics with meshes of less than 2in. shall be knuckled.NOTE 2Use of twisted selvages for fence fabric under 72 in. 1830mm in height are not recomme
21、nded because of consumer safety consid-erations.11. Breaking Strength11.1 The wire constituting the fabric shall meet the mini-mum breaking strength requirements shown in Table 3.12. Finish12.1 Unless otherwise specified, the fabric shall have a millfinish. The purchaser may specify a caustic-cleane
22、d, or etchedfinish, derived by chemical removal of the wire drawing andweaving lubricants after the fabric is woven.13. Standard Length of Rolls13.1 The standard length of roll shall be 50 ft 15.24 m61 %, except as otherwise agreed upon at the time ofpurchase.13.2 The length of roll shall be determi
23、ned by unrolling aroll of fabric onto a flat surface and then exerting tension byappropriate means to remove all slack. The tension appliedshall not reduce the actual height of the fabric by more than116in./ft 1.5875 mm/m of height or by more than12 in. 12.7mm total, whichever is less.14. Sampling a
24、nd Number of Tests14.1 One roll of 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, when only one roll shall be selected for thesample.14.2 Sample rolls sele
25、cted shall be inspected for uniformityof weave (6.1), diamond count (6.2), size of mesh (Section 7),size of wire (Section 8), height of fabric (Section 9), selvage(Section 10), tensile strength (Section 11), and length (Section13).14.3 If any specimen fails to meet the requirements of thisspecificat
26、ion, the roll represented by the specimen shall berejected. Two additional rolls shall be inspected, both of whichTABLE 1 Typical Diamond CountA,BDiameter ofWire, in.Size ofMesh, in.Height of Fabric, in.36 42 48 60 72 84 96 108 120 1440.192 2 1012 1212 1312 1712 2012 2412 2712 3112 3412 41120.148 2
