BARBED WIRE AND SPECIES
There are two sharp pointed and four sharp pointed barbed wire. The number of spikes distinguishes them. After the number of tension wires, we also one roped and double roped barbed wire. Both types of barbed wire are also lower grade material a very high tensile strength. Their low temperature sensitivity and throughput slope takes a very long time. Barbed wire is usually made of carbon and alloy steels. Aluminum alloys are today. The tension wires (whether round or oval) of the barbed wire are usually made of high compensation and steel-in increases (called shoulders) in the span wire, the high-wire in their secured position. This high level of wires can also be welded. Both tension wires, as well as high-wire, both from steel will be coated with zinc, and are so against corrosion and other influences.
The so-called band of barbed wire is a different form of additional wire fences. It also described him as NATO-wire (or S or Z-wire). With this kind of wire fences it is a thin strip of sheet metal, in the sharp blades punched. This type is far more dangerous than normal barbed wire and is only used for fencing and military airports for the border.
For the manufacture of barbed wire, special machinery needed. At the stranding of tension wires are periodically tension wires stopped. With help from the side of winding head is positioned in this interim period of peak fed wire, wrapped and then will be cutted. The production of four sharp pointed barbed wires are produced in the same way, this is just the tip of the wire fed two sides. Then the finished coiled barbed wire, and at a certain length of several hundred meters cutted off.
What kind of barbed wire is also involved; increasingly today for various reasons (welfare, safety, etc.) electric fences are used now.
