Designation: A 116 – 95

Standard Specification forZinc-Coatblrted (Galvanized) Steel Woven Wire FenceFabric1

This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 116; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of

original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A

superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.

This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense. Consult the DoD Index of Specifications and

Standards for the specific year of issue which has been adopted by the Department of Defense.

1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers zinc-coated steel fence fabric

suitable for such uses as farm-field, railroads, and highway

right-of-way and similar fencing, having a series of horizontal

(line) wires with vertical (stay) wires woven or wrapped

around the line wires, forming rectangular openings. This

specification covers various fabric designs, three tensilestrength grades, and appropriate zinc coating weight classifi-

cations for woven wire fence fabric.

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded

as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for

information only.

4.2 Tensile Strength Grades—The wire fabric is furnished

in three strength grades (Grade 60, Grade 125, and Grade 175)according to line wire tensile strength in conformance to Table

2. There are no tensile strength requirements for vertical stay

wires in woven fence fabric.

4.3 Zinc Coated Classes—The wire fabric is furnished with

Class 1 or Class 3 zinc coating weight for Grade 60 and Class

3 zinc coating weight for Grades 125 and 175 in accordance

with Table 3.
