Weight of masonry grid 50х50х4 mm: determination of mass and factors affecting this index

To increase the strength of buildings from concrete, bricks, aerated concrete blocks, additional strengthening is necessary. This helps to prevent the appearance of cracks, which leads to a violation of the strength of buildings and their integrity.

Varieties of reinforcing materials

It is necessary to reinforce and under the floor ceramic tile in the manufacture of arched buildings, fences, cages. The choice of material depends on the method of application, the strength required and other indicators.

Most often, a wire model is used for reinforcement. This is a grid with a cell 50x50 mm and section 3-4. It is considered a universal material, suitable for strengthening walls on the lower floors and solving many other problems.

This material is much heavier than a plastic analog: the weight of a grid masonry grid of 50x50x4 mm is more than 3 kg, since steel was used for its production. Although reinforcing materials made of polymers are lighter, more elastic and cheaper, they are less stable, they are used very often, but only not in the construction of bearing floors and walls.

How to know the weight of reinforcing material?

The reinforcing mesh can have different cell sizes, an additional insulating layer, which affects its mass. To determine this parameter, there are several special programs and formulas. They are presented on specialized web pages. Most often used for reinforcing mesh masonry 50h50h4.

Weight 1m2 is defined as follows:

• Measure the length of the structure that is needed to cover 1 sq / m with a cell 50x50 mm. To create such a material, you need 42 meter pieces of wire.
• Using the mathematical formula, determine the section. The index for a wire of different cross-section (round, square, oval) will be different.
• Using the formula (V = S × L), we calculate the volume of the spent reinforcing material.
• The weight of the masonry grid 50x50x4 mm can be determined by multiplying the density index by the volume index. The density index can be found in the directory.

One example: with a diameter of 4 mm, the square meter of the net will weigh 3 kg 620 grams. If the wire is thinned only by 1 mm, the weight of the mesh grid 50x50x4 mm of the same size will be equal to 2 kg 210 grams. The material used to make the wire thicker by 1 mm (5 mm) will weigh 5.75 kg, respectively.

Application of zinc coating

Zinc coating reinforcing material to increase corrosion resistance. Thanks to this, the product will be able to withstand the influence of humidity when laying it under a brick, concrete, foundation. Because of this, the weight of the masonry grid 50х50х4 mm increases, but the strength parameters are improved.

To apply zinc coating, the following actions are performed:

• Place the workpieces on the surface. It should be perfectly flat and have dimensions that correspond to a certain layout.
• Separate elements are welded.
• To cover the maximum stuck to the surface, it is notched.
• Using galvanic technologies, a zinc coating is applied to the surface.

The zinc layer increases the diameter of the rods, because of which the weight of the material also becomes heavier. Accordingly, the weight of the mesh grid 50х50х4 will exceed 3,92 kg. To get a strong and durable material, but with less weight, you can use a grid with large cells. Check the quality of the reinforcing material is very simple. It is necessary to weigh it and compare it with the data from any table. Deviation should not exceed 5%. In the event that a large number is indicated, this may indicate the following:

• Unfairness of the manufacturer.
• Use in the manufacture of a thinner wire.
• Application of steel material of low quality.

The use of reinforcing mesh

This material is extremely necessary at every stage of construction work, from foundation to finishing work. The main reason for using the mesh is plastic deformation caused by long loads, temperature, moisture. To get rid of this lack of design and designed mesh masonry 50h50h4. The weight of 1 m2 is not so big as to become a serious obstacle to its use, but the strength parameters of the buildings increase significantly.

Using a grid reinforce:

• Reinforced concrete.
• Brickwork.
• Wall masonry.
• Road surfaces.
• Masonry tiles.
• Filling the floors.
• Fastening of excavations in mines.
• Foundations.
• Overlapping.
• Plaster.

In addition, from a grid of this size, greenhouse and greenhouse frames are built. It is protected by plots and territories, cages for keeping fur animals, birds and other small animals are made of it.
