Abstract

This Uganda Standard specifies the characteristics of zinc- and zinc-alloy-coated steel barbed wire, with conventional and reverse twist consisting of two stranded line wires, around which the barbs are tightly wound, a twist being imparted between the barbs to restrict their movement. The barbed-wire entanglement has a single line wire, around which the barbs are wound. (This Uganda Standard cancels and replaces US 193:2001, Specification for steel wires and wire products used for fencing, which has been technically revised and republished).
