Anti Climbing Single Double Spiral Concertina Razor Wire
Razor wire, also known as barbed wire or concertina wire, is a type
of fencing material designed with sharp edges to act as a
formidable deterrent. It typically consists of a central core wire,
around which are tightly wound smaller, razor-sharp metal strips or
wires.
The production of razor wire involves several key steps. Firstly,
high-strength steel wire is selected as the raw material. It
undergoes a wire drawing process to achieve the appropriate
thickness, enhancing its tensile strength. Next, the wire is
annealed to make it more pliable for shaping. Then, specialized
machinery shapes the wire into sharp barbs, precisely controlling
the angle and length to ensure maximum deterrence. After that,
these barbed wires are wound around a central core wire in a spiral
or concertina style. Throughout the production, strict quality
control is implemented. Visual inspections and strength tests are
carried out to guarantee that the final razor wire product meets
safety and security standards.
The most common form features evenly spaced, pointed barbs that
protrude at various angles. These barbs can cause severe cuts and
lacerations, effectively preventing unauthorized access to a
particular area. It is widely used in a variety of security
applications, such as around prisons, military installations,
industrial complexes, and high-security perimeters.
Razor wire is highly visible, sending a clear message that the area
is restricted and entry is not permitted. It can be installed on
fences, walls, or other barriers, either in a single strand or
multiple layers for enhanced protection. Its durability and
resistance to tampering make it a reliable choice for safeguarding
property and maintaining security in areas where a high level of
protection is required. However, due to its dangerous nature,
proper warning signs must be posted to alert people to the
potential hazards.
| Specification | Description |
| Wire Gauge | Ranges from 12 to 18 AWG (American Wire Gauge). Thinner gauges like
18 AWG are more flexible, while thicker ones like 12 AWG offer
greater strength and durability, suitable for different security
needs. |
| Barb Spacing | Varies from 3 inches to 6 inches. Closer barb spacing provides a
denser barrier, increasing the difficulty of penetration, whereas
wider spacing might be used in areas where a less restrictive but
still effective deterrent is required. |
| Barb Length | Typically between 0.5 inches and 1.5 inches. Longer barbs pose a
more significant threat and are often employed in high-security
zones, while shorter ones can be sufficient for moderate security
applications. |
| Core Wire Diameter | Usually from 0.1 inches to 0.2 inches. A larger diameter core wire
offers better structural support, especially when multiple layers
of razor wire are used or in harsh environmental conditions. |
