Notes:
1. Welded Wire Fabric designations are some common stock styles assuming
plain wire fabric per ASTM Specification A185. (fy = 65,000 psi)
2. First part of Welded Wire Fabric designation denotes the wire spacing each way.
3. Second part of Welded Wire Fabric designation denotes the wire size as follows:
W1.4 ~= 10 gage , W2.0 ~= 8 gage
W2.9 ~= 6 gage , W4.0 ~= 4 gage
