BS 4483 is the specification for factory-made, machine-welded steel reinforcement fabric (mesh) used in concrete. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What BS 4483 Covers
It sets the requirements for welded steel mesh reinforcement, including the mechanical and weld-shear tests that confirm the mesh meets its specified performance.
How the Test Is Run
Samples of the welded mesh are tested for tensile properties of the wire and for the shear strength of the welded intersections against the specified requirements.
Why It Matters
Verified mesh properties ensure reinforcement performs as designed; high-force grips and weld-shear fixturing suited to reinforcing wire are required.
