Mesh
Industry-leading welded wire mesh, from standard sheets to customized layouts.
Standard Sheet
Standard sheet manufactured in sheet form with a fixed dimension of 6.00 meters (length) x 2.20 meters (width). Wire Spacing and Diameter Configuration : A, B, C and DA Series made up of the following wire diameters:
Available wire diameters
5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm, 7.5mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm
Grade: 500
Specification: MS 145:2014 (BS 4483:2005)
Bar Mesh
Bar mesh involves the welding of steel bars up to 20mm bar diameter with hard drawn wires up to 13mm diameter. The spacing of the main and secondary bars or wires are customisable to meet project requirements.
Ideal for reinforced concrete walls and slabs, bar mesh reduces the need to rely solely on steel bars for concrete reinforcement. Utilising SSM Bar Mesh can significantly accelerate construction progress.
Available wire / bar diameters
Main direction: 16mm, 20mm
Secondary direction: 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm
Common application
RC Slab, RC Wall
Grade: 500
Specification: MS 145:2014 (BS 4483:2005)
Example: Bar Mesh B16/10
Twin Wire Mesh
Twin Wire fabric consists of two main wires placed side by side welded to a single cross wire. This fabric configuration gives a larger cross-sectional area of steel in the main direction.
Available wire diameters
8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm
Common application
RC Slab, RC Wall
Grade: 500
Specification: MS 145:2014 (BS 4483:2005)
Example: Twin Wire Mesh 2B10/13
Staggered Mesh
Curtailed reinforcement can be provided within a sheet of fabric by staggered arrangement of wires. In staggered mesh, main wires are arranged alternately in staggered manner. This arrangement of wires will give 100% of steel at the middle zone of the sheet and 50% area of steel at both ends.
Staggered mesh is cost effective due to the following reasons:
- It offers great savings as its steel cross section area could be arranged in zone corresponding to the zone of the force direction.
- Curtailment of reinforcement can be readily manufactured in factory.
- One-layer large surface reinforcement sheet could be used instead of having two layers of standard fabric to achieve curtailment pattern. Placing speed of steel fabric is significantly faster.
Available wire diameters
7mm, 7.5mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm
Common application
RC Slab, RC Wall, RC Precast Components
Grade: 500
Specification: MS 145:2014 (BS 4483:2005)
Example: Staggered Mesh B10/7ST
Bar Mat
Bar Mat is meant to expedite the steel reinforcement installation primarily for fast-track projects with straightforward layouts by enabling site to lay the steel fabric instantly covering large portions of area in a short period of time.
It is also more cost efficient when savings are achieved through the reduction of lapping, manpower and behind-the-scenes planning.
The use of scheduled or detailed types of mats can offer further economies in material quantities.
Available wire diameters
7mm, 7.5mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm
Common application
RC Slab, RC Wall
Grade: 500
Specification: MS 145:2014 (BS 4483:2005)
Example: Bar Mat EM10/6
Customized Pitch Mesh
SSM Customised Pitch Mesh is a type of steel fabric designed with specific spacing (pitch) to meet particular design requirements. The spacing can be configured according to the end-user's needs.
Available wire diameters
5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm, 7.5mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm
Common application
RC Slab, RC Wall, RC Precast Components
Grade: 500
Specification: MS 145:2014 (BS 4483:2005)
Example: Customised Pitch Mesh EA10
Special Mesh
SSM Special Mesh offers designers a wider range of fabric selection to match closely to the area of steel required in design, providing a more economical solution.
SSM Special Mesh comes with customisable combinations of main and cross wire diameters which are not in the range of the standard fabric.
Available wire diameters
5mm, 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm, 7.5mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, 11mm, 12mm, 13mm
Common application
RC Slab, RC Wall, RC Precast Components
Grade: 500
Specification: MS 145:2014 (BS 4483:2005)
Example: Special Mesh A7/6.5
Industrial Mesh
SSM Fabric also serves the non-construction sector in the form of industrial mesh. An example would be rack mesh.
The fabricated mesh that are used for racking are subjected to the following standards:
| No. | Inspection Detail | Tolerance / Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Wire Diameter | 3.97mm to 4.06mm |
| 2 | Mesh Dimension | ±1mm |
| 3 | Wire Spacing | ±1mm |
| 4 | Mesh Overhang Value | ±1mm |
| 5 | Surface Condition | No deep spiral marks No sharp protruded wire at welded intersection along perimeter of rack mesh |
| 6 | Weld Shear Strength | 2kN to 2.5kN |
| 7 | Warping of Mesh | Not permitted |
