| Most people have the impression that Armco crash barriers are in yellow. No, Armco crash barriers can be colorful. We can customize sky blue, red, green, white, etc. |
Armco crash barriers are plain and unrecognized road furniture that most people don't even notice them. And many people probably simply think of them as humble guard rail products for roads. However, Armco crash barriers on roadside are something beyond your imagination.
The groove of W section is designed to provide a sliding rail for the vehicle's bumper, which helps keep the vehicle from crossing over the barrier when collision happen. Armco crash barriers keep vehicle contained and should never make vehicle occupants injured.
Armco crash barrier should only be installed when rush out of the roadbed is potentially more hazardous than collide with the barrier. If there is no barrier installed, the driver may be able to stop the car and even drive the car back to the road without injury. Armco crash barriers are installed where the vehicle might fall down to a slope or hit something very tough, such as an advertising pole, a stone, or even a farmer's house.
There are several types of Armco crash barriers, each type is designed to relevant containment and redirection class, and speed limitation. The types of Armco crash barrier mainly depend on material and profile, and bigger in size and thickness is absolutely not necessarily better because stronger barrier without corresponding bumper design may damage even harder.
Armco crash barriers may look simply, but they are actually practical technology which protect lives.
| Armco crash barrier is on the way for your safety. |
We can provide all types of Armco crash barrier specifications.

2. SPECIFICATIONS
Classification, materials, mechanical properties, coating requirements and ordering information of highway guardrail are accurately described and designated according to AASHTO M180.
2.1 Classification:
| Types: Surface treatment are divided into four types, and type I and type II are hot dip galvanized surface treatment. |
| Type I-Zinc coated, 550 g/m2 (1.80 oz/ft2) minimum single-spot. Type II-Zinc coated, 1100 g/m2 (3.60 oz/ft2) minimum single-spot. Type III-Beams to be painted. Type IV-Beams of corrosion resistant steel. |
| Classes: steel thickness is categorized into two class |
| Class A-Base metal nominal thickness-2.67 mm (0.105 in.) Class B-Base metal nominal thickness-3.43 mm (0.135 in.) |
2.2 Base Metal:
The beam, transition, end, and buffer sections shall consist of sheet made of open hearth, electric furnace or basic oxygen steel and shall meet the mechanical properties specified in Section 8 as below.
| Mechanical properties: The mechanical properties of the base metal shall conform to the following requirements: |
| Beams and transition sections: Yield Point, minimum, 345 MPa (50000 psi); Tensile Strength, minimum 483 MPa (70000 psi); and Elongation, in 50 mm (2 in.), minimum, 12 percent. |
