ASTM A1064/A1064M : Standard Specification for Steel Wire and Welded Wire Reinforcement, Plain and Deformed, for Concrete


ASTM A1064 test standard covers steel wire and welded wire reinforcement produced from hot-rolled rod to be used for the reinforcement of concrete. The steel wire is cold-worked, drawn or rolled, plain (non-deformed, as-drawn or galvanized), or deformed. Welded wire reinforcement is made from plain or deformed wire, or a combination of plain and deformed wire. 


UnitedTest supply the testing machine and shear fixture to test the welded wire mesh, steel wire mesh, welded wire fabric such as used for concrete reinforcement. 

The concrete construction industry relies on quality steel wire and welded wire reinforcement. The best types of steel wires used in this test by ASTM A1064 include smooth or deformed steel wires that have been cold worked, stretched, or rolled. Welded steel bars can be made of smooth or deformed steel wires. 

The recommended diameter range for smooth steel wire by ASTM is 0.080 millimeters [0.005 inches] to 19.2 millimeters [0.757 inches]. 

The recommended diameter range for deformed steel wire is D1 [0.113 inches] to D45 [0.757 inches] (in imperial units), and MD 25 [5.64 millimeters] to MD 290 [19.2 millimeters] (in metric units).

ASTM A497 and A185 testing fixtures are used to determine the shear strength of welded steel wire mesh. There is no substantial difference between the two standards ASTM A 497 and ASTM A 185, so they use the same testing fixture.


Cut a welded joint from the steel wire mesh, with the transverse wire extending approximately 1 inch on each side of the longitudinal wire. The longitudinal steel wire extends 2 inches or more above the joint and approximately 5 inches below the joint. The fixture is adjustable to accommodate steel wires of different diameters. The V-shaped groove roller restricts the longitudinal steel wire to keep the transverse steel wire at the top of the support platform. There is a threaded hole on the top of the device. In this way, the connection with the crossbeam of the tensile testing machine is ensured. The bottom of the longitudinal steel wire is straightened until the weld fails, and this failure load will be reported.
