Blitz BM50 Mesh
Blitz Systems BM50 Mesh is a basket mesh cable containment system for commercial and light industrial work, supplied in 3 m lengths in 150, 300, 450 and 600 mm widths. This listing gives the product code, the allowable load and deflection at 1.5, 2 and 3 m support spans (published for the 600 mm width only), and the cut-outs and BM50-C coupler kits needed to fabricate a 90 degree bend, tee or cross on site. All values are as printed on the manufacturer's data sheet.
This listing is not verified by the manufacturer. It is the user's responsibility to review the product brochures and technical notes related to the information presented in this listing and ensure alignment with these resources.

Product code, allowable load, deflection and site-fabricated fitting quantities for Blitz Systems BM50 Mesh, as printed on the manufacturer's data sheet. Select the mesh width, support span and fitting type. Enter a cable load to compare it with the allowable load. Load and deflection are published for the 600 mm width only.

Basis and limits
- Source: Blitz Systems BM50 Mesh data sheet. All values and product codes are as printed on that sheet.
- The data sheet states that the mesh was tested in accordance with NEMA VE 1-2009 and IEC 61537, and that the loading applies to the 600 mm wide section and results may vary for other widths.
- Load and deflection are therefore shown for the 600 mm width only. For 150, 300 and 450 mm they are shown as not published. The 600 mm values are not applied to other widths.
- The data sheet heads its chart Safe Working Loads and labels the values Allowable Load (kg/m). The values are reported here as allowable load.
- Only the printed spans are offered: 1.5, 2 and 3 m. Values are not interpolated or extrapolated.
- Deflection is the figure printed beside each allowable load. The data sheet prints 12 mm at both the 2 m and the 3 m span, and both are shown as printed. It does not state the span condition or the load at which the deflection was measured.
- The utilisation compares the cable load entered with the allowable load. The data sheet does not say whether the weight of the mesh is included.
- Fitting quantities are for one 90 degree bend, tee or cross fabricated on site, as tabulated on the data sheet. Splice plates (BMSJ-G) and T-brackets (BM50-TB) are shown on the data sheet without quantities and are not counted. Couplers and splices for straight runs are not counted.
- Mesh weight, wire size and mesh depth are not given on the data sheet.
- Not covered: supports, trapezes, threaded rod and fixings; point loads; risers; fire-rated installations.
- Preliminary selection only. Confirm the final design with Blitz Systems.
