Barbed wire is one of the most widely used steel products that is produced from mild steel. This product is used for fencing and separating different spaces and creating security, and it is used next to fence posts or fence bases and fence netting. Close to 800 types of barbed wire have been identified. The variety in its types is due to the type and size of the main wire, its barb or blade, and the way it is used.
What is barbed wire?
Types of wire that are equipped with sharp blades during construction and are installed for security purposes in the upper and central part of the fence or net are called barbed wire.
For the first In 1867, in the United States, Bar-Losion B. Smith and Count Ohio succeeded in patenting barbed wire as one of the most widely used nets used in fencing. The use of barbed wire in today's form was first created by a French designer named Lyons Agn. The wires used in the manufacture of barbed wires have different types, and the most important of them are metal, steel and zinc.
Barbed wires made of galvanized material, because The unique strength and very high resistance is one of the most popular types of these laces. Barbed wire in Iran is produced by small workshops specially using the IS 278 standard and packed in coils.
The production of this product requires special devices that are similar to It is a lace production machine. In terms of price, it does not depend on the manufacturer's brand, but depends on the type and thickness of the wire and barb and the raw materials used.
Choosing the type and location of the barbed wire according to the security factor expected by the user. will be Basically, the place where barbed wire is used is at the bottom of the fence, at the back of the fence or at the top of the fence post.
Common types of barbed wire
Barbed wire is a protective device that is very popular due to its easy installation and reasonable price. In the production process of this product, galvanized coated steel wire is used to prevent corrosion and rust. In another type, metal sheet strips are used. All production steps are done by automatic machines. In general, barbed wires are produced in two types linear and circular .
Linear barbed wire
This type of barbed wire consists of two strands of wire. One of the strands is the base strand, whose diameter is two to two and a half millimeters. The other thread is twisted around the base thread or the axis and has a diameter of two and a half millimeters.
In the production of this product, hot galvanized wires are used, which are very resistant and durable. The weight of each ball of linear barbed wire depends on the type of order and the customer's needs and is between 15 and 25 kg, and each roll has 10 meters of wire. Very high, disturbing the animals and its low cost is one of the most important features of linear barbed wire that has made this type of barbed wire popular.
Circular barbed wire
The structure of circular barbed wire is in such a way that one wire or wire strand is used as a line and two other wires as barbs. The diameter of the main wire is two and a half millimeters, and the diameter of the barbs is two millimeters.
Ringular barbed wire is in the form of a ring, and its material is galvanized steel, and it is sold in Iranian and Chinese types. become The circular barbed wire is of higher quality and price compared to the linear type and has more uses.
To implement the circular barbed wire, first bases are placed on the wall and then these wires are placed on the base. They ride and fasten. The best situation to use circular barbed wire is for places that have short walls and are accessible to thieves.
Because of the galvanized used in this type of barbed wire, they are very resistant to moisture. It is very easy to carry and install them, and they are executed both independently and on the fence. This type of barbed wire is divided into two groups of needle ring barbed wire and ax (laser) ring barbed wire.
