Information on the most widely used ASTM standards within the materials testing industry
ASTM A185, ISO 15630-2 for steel wire mesh/ welded wire fabric
Tensile Shear Test Fixture Welded wire mesh is designed to determine the shear strength of welds in welded steel bars according to ASTM A185, ISO 15630-2 specifications. This standard is crucial for ensuring the quality of welded steel wire mesh used in concrete construction, as the integrity of welds directly affects the overall structural performance.
This fixture is suitable for various wire diameters and ensures correct alignment during testing. It typically has a support platform and V-shaped groove rollers to restrict longitudinal wires while applying shear forces to transverse wires. By accurately measuring the shear force applied to the weld seam, this fixture helps evaluate the quality of welded steel bars, ensuring their structural integrity and meeting the requirements of ASTM A185, ISO 15630-2. These data are crucial for manufacturers, quality control personnel, and engineers involved in concrete construction to verify the reliability of welded steel bars and ensure the long-term performance of reinforced concrete structures.
