Types Of Barbed Wire

 Types Of Barbed Wire

There are many types of barbed wire. These are listed below and explained in detail along with their specifications.

Galvanized barbed wire

This type is characterized by high tensile wire, and it works perfectly for protection purposes. Its barbs are very similar to razor blades in both their sharpness and look. The thin, razor-edged barbs make it extremely difficult for an intruder to climb this form of barbed wire. Both the wire and the strip are galvanized so that they do not corrode.

PVC Coated Barbed Wire

This variety is highly used for security fencing. This is a wire covered with vinyl; This not only reduces the possibility of corrosion on the wire but also has a great impact on the strength of the material. During operation, the wear between the layers is greatly reduced due to the fact that it is covered with vinyl. This variety is best used in ocean technology, and by large excavators and irrigation machines. Typically, this variety consists of 2 twisted wires with 4 spikes spaced approximately 65 to 120 mm apart.

High tensile steel barbed wire

The spiral diameter of this variety is about 1000 mm. The wobble is about 13 to 20 mm in length, with each barbe about 60 mm away from its neighbours. There are many different sizes in which this variety is available.

Concertina Wire

Concertina barbed wire is a single-stranded wire with multiple extinctions on its surface. These protrusions do not allow barbs to slide down, which is why this type is widely used for chain link fencing or expanded metal fencing for extreme security purposes. Barbed wire is characterized by sharp edges, corrosion resistant properties, hardness and stability. The wire is usually made of stainless steel with a diameter of about 3 mm.
