About the AWIA The Australasian Wire Industry Association Inc. is a non-profit organisation formed by companies involved in the manufacturing sector to support the long term development and prosperity of the wire industry throughout the Australian, New Zealand, Pacific and South East Asian region.

Member companies are involved in all aspects of the industry from wire manufacturers and raw material suppliers, to wire products manufacturers, machinery suppliers and ancillary service providers.

The founding members were coil spring manufacturers who were members of the Spring Manufacturers Association of Australia which had been formed in 1963.

The Association has now grown to include over 100 companies involved within the wire industry throughout the region. We now have additional sub associations to give specific information and services to these groups. All members belong to the AWIA and can also nominate themselves to be a listed as a member of any of the sub associations. The structure of the AWIA is as follows.

The Association’s inaugural meeting was held on the 4th March 1993 in Melbourne, Australia.

Note: Underlined values are exact * The SI metric system is based on the International System of Units. ** In some circumstances the term “weight” is used as meaning force and, therefore, it would have the units of force, i.e., N (newtons). It is more common practice to associate “weight” with mass when it would have the unit of mass, i.e., kg (kilograms). *** Properly, stress is expressed in Pascals (Pa) or N/m2. However, Mega Pascals (MPa) or N/mm2 is commonly used. **** To convert kgf/mm2 to MPa (N/mm2), multiply by 9.80665. ***** The degree Celsius was previously called degree Centigrade.

Areas and Weights on Steel Wires In Imperial Units The weight of a single steel wire with cross A [in.2] * 12 * 0.2833 lb / ft. section A equals: Cross Section Area, A, Formulae Round, diameter, D A = π * D2/4 (π*D2/4) * 12 * 0.2833 lb./ft.

Square, side, L A = L2 L2 * 12 * 0.2833 lb./ft.
