The Barbed wire is manufactured using hot dipped galvanized wire. The nominal size of the wire is 16G (1.60mm) HIGH TENSILE for the line wire and 17G (1.44mm) soft for the barb wire, both having a tolerance of ±2.5%. The tensile strength of the line wire (16G) is above 900N/mm2 and that of the barb wire (17G) is between 350 and 550N/mm2. The barbed wire is reverse twisted with the barbs falling on the reverse twist.
