This Standard specifies requirements for welded steel wire fabric intended for use as reinforcement for concrete. It consists of longitudinal wires with cross wires welded to them. The following significant changes to the previous edition have been made: a new table (revision of Table 1) has been introduced to give the specification of standard fabrics most commonly made throughout Australia and the use of 'suitable' in Appendix C has been deleted.

This Standard specifies requirements for welded steel wire fabric intended for use as reinforcement for concrete. The fabric consists of longitudinal wires with cross wires welded to them.NOTES:1.
