Probably best to check with them. That's not an industry standard call out as far as I'm aware. After all, they're still calling it welded wire fabric. The ASTM spec has specifically changed to Welded Wire Reinforcement:
ASTM A1064-18 said:
Welded wire for concrete reinforcement has historically been described by various terms: welded wire fabric, WWF, fabric, and mesh. The wire reinforcement industry has adopted the term welded wire reinforcement (WWR) as being more representative of the applications of the products being manufactured. Therefore, the term welded wire fabric has been replaced with the term welded wire reinforcement in this specification and in related specifications.
I don't mean to hijack this thread, but regarding WWF, besides the obvious complaints regarding its use (it gets pushed down to grade, and is useless), I specified D6 x D6 6 x 6 (deformed 6 gauge wires on a 6 inch square grid) on a project. All was fine, until my local guy said, "where do you get this stuff?"
I looked on the internet:
[ul]
[li]Company One, a rebar fabricator who listed WWF on their website; "we're a rebar fabricator, we don't sell that," from an employee who could care less and couldn't get me off the phone fast enough.[/li]
[li]Company Two, who listed WWF on their website, "sorry, we don't have it, but company Three and Four might" from a helpful guy.[/li]
[li]Company Three, "we have every kind of WWF you need, as long as it's 2.8 or 1.4 gage"[/li]
[li]Company Four, "is this domestic or foreign, you have the wrong number" and "we have it," but then when called again didn't.[/li]
[/ul]
Why is this stuff so hard to find? This has happened to me before. Someone is going to say, check availability, but I'm used to going to the ACI and just picking out standard sizes. The WRI needs to list standard available sizes, so I don't have to worry about tracking it down.
