Barbed wire weight per metre

Understanding Barbed Wire Weight: Gauges, Designs, and Manufacturer Variations

The weight of barbed wire per meter can vary based on the gauge (thickness) of the wire and the specific design of the barbs. As a general guideline, a common weight for barbed wire is around 9 meters per kilogram (m/kg) for standard commercial-grade wire when the barb is 14g and the line wire is 12g. However, when the barb is 12g and the line wire is also 12g, the weight of the barbed wire is about 7.5 meters per kilogram. This can fluctuate, and different manufacturers may produce barbed wire with varying weights.


It's crucial to check with the specific supplier or manufacturer for accurate information on the weight of their barbed wire per meter, as it can be influenced by factors such as the material composition and the spacing and type of barbs. Additionally, different regions may have different standards and specifications for barbed wire, so local regulations and industry standards should also be considered.


If you have a specific type or brand of barbed wire in mind, it's recommended to consult the product specifications provided by the manufacturer or supplier to obtain precise information on the weight per meter.
