Commonly cited families (verify edition on your certificate):
- BS 4483
- ASTM A497/A185
- EN 10080
- GOST 23279
Welded reinforcing mesh is standardized in BS 4483, ASTM A497 / A185, EN 10080 (mesh complements bar rules), and GOST 23279. The grid model here is indicative—lap zones, offcuts, and custom panel sizes need job-specific takeoff.

Illustrative values for common sizes of Welded mesh at the density you selected. For procurement, always verify against mill certificates.
| Wire Ø (mm) | Cell (mm) | kg/m² | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 100 | 2.17 | |
| 5 | 100 | 3.391 | |
| 5 | 150 | 2.158 | |
| 6 | 150 | 3.107 | |
| 8 | 200 | 4.735 |
Figures follow the same geometric model as the calculator above; rounding and simplifications apply.
Method
How to calculate weight
Core model
m ≈ ρ · A_wire · (total wire length in panel) (weld overlap not subtracted)Field names
Welded mesh mass uses a simplified two-directional wire grid: total wire length × cross-section × density, without subtracting weld overlaps (slightly conservative). Good for ballpark “mesh weight per m2” and rebar mesh calculator queries.
Reverse length-from-weight is disabled here because the mesh model is not strictly linear in a single edge length at fixed cell count.
