It specifies the general characteristics of welded mesh fencing supplied as rolls o
21、r panels and coatings, properties and tolerances. This European Standard covers only orthogonal welded mesh i.e. wire welded at right angles to one another. For welded mesh fencing made from panels the specification covers only panels made from wires not greater than 10 mm. 2 Normative references Th

36、-1 and EN 10245-2 or EN 10245-3. The type and colour and any other criteria shall be given on the order. BS EN 10223-4:2012EN 10223-4:2012 (E) 7 5.2.2 Panels Panels shall be produced by either: a) cutting from zinc or zinc alloy coated rolls; or b) by electrical resistance welded bright wires and su
37、bsequently zinc or zinc alloy coated to EN ISO 1461. No bare patches shall be permitted.

The type and colour and any other criteria shall be given
38、 on the order. 5.3 Welding The mesh shall be produced by electrical resistance welding at every line wire/cross wire intersection. The line and/or cross wires may be crimped. Depending on the application, the mesh spacing throughout the fencing may be the same, as in 50 mm x 50 mm security mesh or v
39、arying as in the welded mesh fencing for agricultural or general use i.e. decreasing mesh size from the top downwards. The diameter of line wires may be different from the diameter of cross wires. 6 Requirements 6.1 Tensile strength The tensile strength of the line and cross wires shall be in the ra
40、nge 350 N/mm2 to 950 N/mm2. For any delivered lot, the spread of tensile strength shall be within 200 N/m2. NOTE The tensile strength of the line wires may not be the same as the tensile strength of the cross wires. 6.2 Tolerance on wire diameters The tolerance in diameter of the wires shall comply

44、nc alloy coated rolls, the coated wire shall comply with the requirements of 6.3.1.1. Where panels have been produced by zinc or zinc alloy coating after fabrication the coated panels shall comply with the requirements of EN ISO 1461. Where mesh in panels coated after fabrication contains two diamet
45、ers of wire, the coating mass shall not be less than the average of the specified minimum values of the two diameters. 6.3.2 Organic material coatings When present, organic material coatings shall comply with the appropriate part of EN 10245-1 and EN 10245-2 or EN 10245-3. 6.4 Tolerance on mesh dime
46、nsions The nominal mesh spacing measured leading edge to leading edge shall be subject to the tolerances in Table 1 after coating.

47、The variation in the mesh spacing shall provide a maximum cumulative variation of 5 mm per meter. 6.5 Weld shear strength When tested in accordance with Annex A the average of all the four loads shall not be less than 75 % of the wire breaking load of the smallest diameter wire. NOTE Breaking load i
48、s the maximum force during the tensile test before breaking. If the average fails to meet this requirement, all the welds across the specimen shall be tested. The mesh shall be deemed acceptable if the average of all the weld shear test values across the specimen is greater than 75 % of the wire bre
49、aking load of the smallest diameter wire. 7 Sampling and testing The manufacturer shall be responsible for the control of product quality by the application of statistical methods of sampling and analysis of results or, alternatively, by sampling and testing for the agreed quality characteristics at a rate of one roll/reel in one sample every week or one per production change.
