🧵 3.0 mm galvanized wire - heavy-duty outdoor installation
3.0 mm galvanized tie wire is a reinforced steel product designed for high mechanical loads in conditions of continuous exposure to moisture. It undergoes heat treatment to make it ductile and flexible, then receives a thick hot-dip zinc coating. The material withstands rain, snow, and temperature fluctuations, making it suitable for long-term outdoor structures.
🔩 Engineering specifications (ДСТУ EN 10244-2)
Use the following parameters for accurate cost estimates and load planning:
- Diameter: 3.0 mm (permissible deviation ±0.12 mm).
- Mass per metre: 0.05549 kg.
- Metres per kilogram: ~18.0 m.
- Zinc mass: at least 100 g/m² (Class C).
- Tensile strength: 340-550 N/mm² (MPa).
- Ductility: withstands at least 4 complete 180-degree bends without cracking the zinc coating.
🏗️ Applications for 3.0 mm galvanized wire
At 3 mm, the wire is a substantial load-bearing element. It is used where standard tie wire (1.2 mm or 2.0 mm) would simply break under tension:
- Fence installation: the main tension wire for chain-link fences, preventing deformation and sagging over time.
- Gabion construction: tying metal cages filled with stone for bank protection and landscaping.
- Heavy reinforced concrete: securing intersections of large-diameter reinforcement (25 to 32 mm) in bridge supports, grillages, and industrial foundations.
- Agriculture: making durable trellises for vineyards and intensive orchards.
✅ Advantages of SteelStream products
- Hot-dip galvanizing: Zinc is applied in a molten bath, forming a strong diffusion layer with the steel. It does not peel or come off when twisted with pliers.
- Accurate length and weight: Every coil is weighed on precise electronic scales. We comply with ГОСТ 3282-74 for dimensional accuracy.
- Proper annealing: Despite its 3 mm thickness, the wire remains ductile and easy to form by hand.
