If you are unfamiliar with the market razor wire security guards, it became a challenge to strengthen the perimeter of the enterprise, institution, or privately owned warehouse. You can easily get lost in the variety of options and features offered in the market. Here are the main characteristics of the razor wire fence, which you should pay attention to.

1- Diameter Of The Razor Wire Concertina
Diameter of the concertina (400 mm, 500 mm, 600 mm, 750 mm, 900 mm) is chosen for each object individually. It is the main parameters. The greater diameter, the higher efficiency when installation. But the greater diameter, the price per meter of the razor wire concertina is higher. Another detail - usually indicated carrying the diameter of the bay. After stretching and setting the diameter of the razor wire concertina decreases. For example a concertina diameter of 500 mm after the installation will have a diameter of 450 mm.
2- Number Of Turns In The Concertina
Number of turns in the concertina can be from 31 to 61. The smaller the number of turns - the concertina easier install, convenient to work with it during installation, but more often have to connect the concertina, and each connection - a place of potential vulnerability.
3- The Length Of The Razor Wire Concertina Coil Stretch
The length of the razor wire concertina coil stretch, is the distance between the adjacent coils, which is proclaimed by sellers in the price lists, often differs from reality. The maximum distance between the turns of the spiral should be no more than 390 mm''. otherwise, it leads to an increase in distance between the coils, reducing the rigidity of the Concertina, Razor tape losing its protective properties, and consequently to a distortion of the idea of creating high-performance line of defense.
4- Number Of Rivets
Often, taking advantage of ignorance of the buyer, the seller does not specify a firm quantity of cramp (3 or 5) and sells cheap Miniature 3x the price spiral of the more expensive 5-Miniature. It must be remembered that if the use of 3-Miniature bond still valid for small-diameter coils (500 - 600 mm) by reducing the effectiveness of barrier (its stiffness and resistance to snacking), then the coils of large diameter (900 mm), it is unacceptable - the fence is be ineffective.
5- The Quality Of Raw Materials
Galvanized strip thickness must be within 0.5-0.55 mm. Using a thin strip initially has almost no effect on the effectiveness of security fence (fencing down properties - no spikes interlock, and bent), but in the long run reduce the obstacles to service a few times. The guide wire should always be galvanized high carbon with a diameter of 2.4 - 2.5 mm. If the wire without coating, in the near future you will lose the fence. Staves should also be made of galvanized metal. If you use the material without a coating, then the points of contact to begin the processes of destruction, be lost strength and aesthetic appearance.
6- Manufacturing Technology
Have you ever read a blogpost and it felt like a way too complicated read? You just didn't understand the point there were trying to bring across, even when the subject seemed fairly easy? Well, not here. Today we'll make it clear and simple when we talk about razor wire classification. It really isn't anything complicated!
What is razor wire? It's a mesh of metal strips that has sharp edges. You can also call it barbed tape and the main purpose of it is of course to prevent the passage by mostly humans. In general the term itself, 'razor wire', has been around for a long time, many decades, and has been used to describe barbed tape various products.
The name 'razor wire' sounds more serious or threatening than it actually is. It is called razor wire, but it's not razor sharp. It is definitely sharper than the standard barbed wire. Yes, razor wire has indeed very sharp edges, and the idea or the purpose is to rip the clothing of the people trying to climb over it. Not to make it sound that razor wire is not sharp enough, it definitely is, but it will not cut you or your clothes like a shaving machine, yet it will create damage. In some cases it can create serious cuts to the flesh. The looks of it also creates psychological deterrent effect ' you just wouldn't dare to climb over it if your wellbeing and health was dear to you.
Where can you find razor wire? Historically, razor wire was used in prisons and mental hospitals. In s these institutions weren't greatly equipped so having an extra security measurement like barbed tape was an advantage. 20 years later the usage of razor wire had dropper as it was discovered that breaching barbed tape was actually easier than breaching barbed wire. With the right tools it was easier to snap razor wire. Later on barbed wire was replaced with razor wire in many military applications. Why? Because of the convenience. It still had the same effective purpose, but because it took much less space compared to razor wire when stored on drums.

That was then and this is now. So where can you use razor wire nowadays? As commercial and residential security applications. Like mentioned, razor wire has a psychological effect. It scares you visually, but humans are quite intelligent to figure out quickly that you can throw a carpet or a thick material over it and then climb it. Or just use the right tools to breach it quickly. But don't rush too quickly with purchasing it! You have to make sure that razor wire is allowed to be installed in your local area. For example if you would travel to Norway, Europe, you wouldn't see any razor wire just on its own because it is forbidden to install razor wire as a single fencing type and is only allowed to install with other fencing types combined, and the simple reason is to protect domesticated animals like cats, dogs, cows etc.
Finally we've reached the point we said we would in the beginning of the post and that is to make it simple and clear what is razor wire classification.
Razor wire availability: straight wire, spiral coils , concertina coils, flat wrapped panels or welded mesh panels.
Razor wire material: plain steel, galvanized steel, stainless steel, or the mix of them.
The shape of the barb: short barb (10 mm to 12 mm long), medium barb (20 mm to 22 mm long), long barb (60 mm to 66 mm long).
The structure of the razor wire:
1. Helical type ' no concertina attachments and each spiral loop is left.
2. Concertina type ' the adjacent loops of helical coils are attached by clips at specified points on the circumference.
3. Blade type ' straight line razor wire that is cut into certain length so then to be welded onto the galvanized or powder coated frame.
4. Flat type ' razor wire type with flat and smooth configuration.
5. Welded type ' razor wire tape is welded into panels and then if needed then these panels are connected together to create a razor wire fence.
