Criterion I500SE Reinforcing Mesh
Full Description
I500SE Reinforcing Mesh
Standard: AS/NZS 4671:2019 — Steel reinforcing materials Designation: I500SE Product Form: Welded steel mesh (fabric)
Product Description
I500SE is a deformed indented welded steel mesh with a specified lower characteristic yield stress of 500 MPa, Square bar configuration, and Earthquake (seismic) ductility class.
| Designation Component | Code | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Profile | I | Deformed indented |
| Strength Grade | 500 | 500 MPa |
| Configuration | S | Square |
| Ductility Class | E | Earthquake (seismic) |
Orthogonal bars in a square configuration.
Size and Spacing
Unlike bar and coil, mesh designations include bar size and spacing as suffixes — e.g. I500SE92 means 9 mm bar diameter, 200 mm spacing. However, ACRS certifies at the grade level (I500SE): 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 I500SE 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.
