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