or British Wire
I would preliminarily assume a square wire mesh of 12" with a 9 guage
wire. My experience the strengths will be very close to standard loads
if not then try 9 inch square with 12 gage.
Watch out for less steel in gages rated by American Wire or Browne & Sharpe
The Carnegie steel hand book of 1926 showed the following wire gage
sizes, in inches, and all wire had a design strength of 20 ksi
9ga= 0.418 12ga= 0.109 Birmingham Wire BWG or Stubs Iron Works
9ga= 0.114423 12ga= 0.080808 American Wire or Browne & Sharpe
9ga= 0.1483 12ga= 0.1055 American Steel & Wire Co formerly
Washburn & Moon
9ga= 0.145 12ga= 0.105 Trenton Iron Company
9ga= 0.144 12ga= 0.104 British Imperial Standard Wire SWG
9ga= 0.1398 12ga= 0.0991 Standard Birmingham Sheet and Hoop BG
