Welded
wire partitions are typically made using a series of galvanized
steel wires arranged perpendicularly and welded together at
their points of contact. This allows welded wire partitions
to better maintain their shape when it is being stressed.
When making wire partitions, the wire
diameter, or gauge, is an important
factor in determining the specifications. There are many different
wire sizes that can be used in their fabrication. However,
selecting the right gauge depends on the steel wire's final
use – as a single wire strand, to make welded wire partitions
or security fencing.
To make the wire, single rods of steel
are "drawn" through a series of increasingly smaller dies
until they are eventually reduced to the required gauge.
The gauge value originally referred to the number of draws
needed to make the required diameter. The first draw was called
1-gauge, the second 2-gauge, the third 3-gauge, etc. This
is why thick wires have a lower gauge number. For example,
a 9-gauge wire is thicker than 14-gauge wire because it requires
fewer "draws".
In 1855, a formula-based designation was established to standardize
gauge sizes in the United States. Known today as the American
Wire Gauge, it features a progression of 39 steps ? from 1-gauge
to 40-gauge.
The same gauge numbers are used in different countries, unfortunately
they refer to different wire diameters. This has become a
great cause of confusion. Nowadays, many companies prefer
to measure wire diameters in millimeters or inches instead
of gauge numbers.
Welded Wire Partitions
Although welded wire partitions are available in a variety
of wire gauges:
6-gauge and 10-gauge wire are the industry standard. 6-gauge
is a heavier duty wire and measures approximately 0.192 inches
thick. 10-gauge wire measures approximately 0.135 inches.
Both gauges work for the majority of applications, although
the thicker and more expensive 6-gauge wire provides a sturdier
panel.
