ISO 17745 is an international standard on steel wire ring net panels that discusses the specifications of steel wire ring net panels. ISO 17745 specifies the characteristics of steel wire ring net panel for retaining unstable slopes controlling and preventing rockfalls and loose debris flow along roads, highways and railway, urban areas, mines and quarries, and for snow avalanche protection produced from metallic-coated steel wire or advanced metallic coating.
ISO 17745 is not applicable to anchors or soil nails for fixing steel mesh to an unstable slope.
ISO 17745 on steel wire ring net panel is relevant to:
Steel rings are obtained by looping a single steel wire with ends inserted into the thread or secured by one or more than one ferrules. The wire ring net panel structure of the panel net is made by connecting the ring with the contiguous rings.
ISO 17745 provides guidance on the description of use and applications, wire ring net panels, properties of wire, wire ring net properties (longitudinal tensile test with no lateral contraction and load-bearing capacity test), sampling, and testing.
As a user of ISO 17745, you can be ensured of characteristics of steel wire ring net panel. With obedience and compliance to ISO 17745, you can efficiently calculate the net tensile strength and can measure the dimensions of a ring net panel. With sampling, and testing provided in ISO 17745 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
