AC-02 18.8KG 8# iron wire/1*1

FEATURES:

• Material: Galvanized Iron (GI) or Steel (coated with Zinc).

• Gauge: 8 Gauge (8#).

  • Approximate Diameter: 3.26 mm to 4.0 mm (or about 0.128 inches). This is a very thick, heavy-duty wire.

• Weight: 18.8 KG (for this specific coil).

• Stiffness/Flexibility: Extremely stiff. It is difficult to bend by hand and requires heavy-duty tools for manipulation.

Distinguishing Features

1. Maximum Strength: The 8-gauge wire offers the highest tensile strength among the three wires you've shown (8#, 10#, 12#). This makes it suitable for permanent, high-stress applications where stretching or breaking is unacceptable.

2. Ultimate Durability: Its substantial thickness provides superior resistance to physical wear, abrasion, and damage from livestock, heavy machinery, or construction materials.

3. Corrosion Resistance: Like all galvanized wire, the zinc coating ensures excellent protection against rust, ideal for use in wet, harsh, or high-salinity outdoor environments.

Common Applications

• Heavy-Duty Fencing: Used for main strain wires and high-tensile fencing for cattle, deer, and security perimeters.

• Construction: Heavy-duty bundling, support, and structural applications like cable armoring and securing very large, dense bales of materials.

• Electrical Infrastructure: Often used in overhead power and telecommunications for its high strength and low resistance, serving as a support or earthing wire.
