GOST 3826-82 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 3826-82 — Wire (woven) mesh with square cells. Specifications. Defines the types, main dimensions, mass, allowable tolerances, marking, packaging and rules for acceptance of woven wire cloth (square-mesh wire netting) used in construction, filtration, reinforcement and general industrial applications.

Abstract

This standard specifies the assortment of woven wire meshes with square cells (mesh sizes, wire diameters, widths), the principal dimensional and mass characteristics per unit area, production and acceptance requirements, and references to related normative documents and test methods. It replaces earlier editions and includes later amendments that update technical requirements and national adoptions across the CIS.

General information

• Status: Implemented as an interstate GOST standard; amended several times and retained in product catalogs (verify current legal validity with the national standards body).
• Publication date: Designation year 1982 (GOST 3826-82); introduced into effect 1 January 1984 (approval Decision dated 29 September 1982).
• Publisher: USSR State Committee for Standards (Gosstandart) / Interstate Council for standardization, metrology and certification (as an interstate adoption).
• ICS / categories: ICS 77.140.65 (wire products / wire mesh); OKP/industry group classifications for wire and mesh products as shown in the normative data.
• Edition / version: GOST 3826-82 (original 1982 designation, in effect from 1984); replaces GOST 3826-66; contains subsequent amendments (listed in publisher catalogs, including amendments through 2004).
• Number of pages: Typically published as a short technical standard — 9 pages in common commercial copies.

Scope

Applies to woven (loomed) wire meshes with square cells made from metal wire (carbon steel, stainless steel and other metallic grades), specifying nominal cell (mesh) sizes, recommended wire diameters, standard roll widths, mass per square metre, permissible deviations, marking, packaging and acceptance rules for commercial and industrial supply. The standard is intended for manufacturers, suppliers and users of wire cloth for construction plastering, filtration screens, reinforcement and general industrial use.

Key topics and requirements

• Specification of mesh (cell) sizes and corresponding recommended wire diameters and expected mass (kg/m²) for each mesh number.
• Standard widths (typical 1000–2000 mm range depending on mesh) and roll length recommendations.
• Dimensional and mass tolerances, acceptable deviations for wire diameter and cell size.
• Materials and surface condition (plain, galvanized, stainless) with related technical references.
• Marking, packing, transportation and storage rules for supplied rolls and sheets.
• Acceptance and testing procedures (visual, dimensional checks, sampling, and mass-per-area measurements) referencing other GOST normative documents.

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers of wire mesh and metal fabricators, building and construction companies (plastering, reinforcement), filtration equipment makers, hardware suppliers, industrial maintenance and repair services, and distributors of metal products. Typical applications include plaster/mesh for cement and stucco reinforcement, protective screens, sieves, filters, and general-purpose metal fabrics.

Related standards

GOST 3826-82 references and is linked to a number of other GOST/Interstate standards covering wire products, testing methods and material specifications — for example GOST 427-75, GOST 3282-74, GOST 3560-73 and others listed in the normative references section of the standard. These documents supply complementary requirements for raw wire, test procedures, coatings (galvanizing), and environmental/operational classes.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the assortment of square-cell woven meshes, dimensional and mass characteristics, permissible deviations, production and acceptance requirements, and references to related testing and material standards.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers and suppliers of wire cloth, construction and plastering contractors, filtration and sieve manufacturers, metal goods distributors and procurement/quality teams that specify or accept woven wire mesh.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: GOST 3826-82 was introduced into effect in 1984 and has received amendments; it has been adopted as an interstate document across CIS countries.
