Criterion D500RN Reinforcing Mesh
Full Description
D500RN Reinforcing Mesh
Standard: AS/NZS 4671:2019 — Steel reinforcing materials Designation: D500RN Product Form: Welded steel mesh (fabric)
Product Description
D500RN is a deformed ribbed welded steel mesh with a specified lower characteristic yield stress of 500 MPa, Rectangle bar configuration, and Normal ductility class.
| Designation Component | Code | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Profile | D | Deformed ribbed |
| Strength Grade | 500 | 500 MPa |
| Configuration | R | Rectangle |
| Ductility Class | N | Normal |
Orthogonal bars in a rectangular configuration.
Size and Spacing
Unlike bar and coil, mesh designations include bar size and spacing as suffixes — e.g. D500RN92 means 9 mm bar diameter, 200 mm spacing. However, ACRS certifies at the grade level (D500RN): the specific sizes and spacings a firm is certified for are listed on the ACRS certificate and recorded in LTQ data.
Certification Scope
ACRS certification for D500RN mesh confirms that the certified firm's fabrication meets the requirements of AS/NZS 4671:2019 for this grade, including mechanical properties of the parent wire/bar, weld shear strength, dimensional tolerances, and marking requirements.
