Tensile Strength
The tensile strength is defined as the maximum load achieved in a tensile test divided by the cross sectional area of the wire test piece. The tensile strength range is 448-517 MPa; 551-620 MPa; 65000psi~75000psi;80000psi~90000psi

Frequently asked questions
What is chain-link fabric wire?
Galvanized wire drawn and coated for weaving into diamond chain-link fencing, supplied by diameter, coating class and tensile to suit your machine.
Plain galvanized or coated?
Both — plain hot-dip galvanized, or PVC/PE-coated for colour and extra protection (see our PVC-coated and PVC/PE glued wire).
Which standard applies?
ASTM A641/A641M or EN 10244-2, or a confirmed buyer specification.
