What is a393 mesh?

A393 mesh is welded steel rebar mesh fabric produced out of 10mm deformed steel rebar. It is manufactured with longitudal and latitudal H10 rebar wires, with an aperture size (the hole between the wires) of 200mm x 200mm. The ‘393’ refers to the cross sectional area per metre width, which essentially means how much steel ‘reinforcement’ per metre width. Larger or smaller apertures for the same diameter steel would increase or decrease this cross sectional area, and larger or smaller diameter steel rebar used with the same aperture size would also increase or decrease this figure (such as A252, which is mesh with the same size aperture, but using 8mm steel rebar instead of the 10mm steel rebar used in A393).

What is a393 mesh used for?

A 393 rebar mesh is used heavy-duty reinforcement of concrete elements, including slabs and walls. Flat sheets are used in the construction of driveways, building floors, and foundation slabs.

What size is a393 mesh?
