Q: How to measure wire mesh? -glossary of terms

Aperture (w) space between adjacent parallel wires Wire diameter (d) diameter of wire before weaving Mesh count (n) Number of aperture per lineal inch measured from the center of one wire to a point 1 inch distant. Pitch (p) Distance between the centers of two adjacent wires i.e. w+d Warp Wires running lengthwise in the cloth as woven Weft Wires running crosswire in the cloth as woven Open area The fractional open surface area of the wirecloth in follow direction. (applicable for square meshes only)

Q: Wire mesh calculator

The following calculator is used for convert between mesh count, opening size and wire diameter. Mesh Count(per inch): Opening Size(mm): Wire Diameter(mm): Value: You could input the value of any two variable of this three, and click "Calculate" to get the end Value you want. For example, you could fill in the "mesh count" with "100", fill in the "wire diameter" with "0.1", click "Calculate", you would get the opening size to be "0.154".

Question 1

How to measure wire mesh? -glossary of terms

Answer

Aperture	(w) space between adjacent parallel wires
Wire diameter	(d) diameter of wire before weaving
Mesh count	(n) Number of aperture per lineal inch measured from the center of one wire to a point 1 inch distant.
Pitch	(p) Distance between the centers of two adjacent wires i.e. w+d
Warp	Wires running lengthwise in the cloth as woven
Weft	Wires running crosswire in the cloth as woven
Open area	The fractional open surface area of the wirecloth in follow direction. (applicable for square meshes only)

Question 2

What is wire diameter?

Answer

Wire diameter is always checked with a micrometer caliper as shown. Diameters of wires in both directions should be checked. The illustration shows .025 diameter wire.

Question 3

Wire mesh calculator

Answer

The following calculator is used for convert between mesh count, opening size and wire diameter.

Mesh Count(per inch):
Opening Size(mm):
Wire Diameter(mm):
Value:

You could input the value of any two variable of this three, and click "Calculate" to get the end Value you want.

For example, you could fill in the "mesh count" with "100", fill in the "wire diameter" with "0.1", click "Calculate", you would get the opening size to be "0.154".

Question 4

How to store the stainless steel mesh and warehouse store requirements?

Answer

Stainless steel is a high corrosion resistance material, but it's not absolutly un-rust, and its corrosion resistance is not so stable in the chemical material. The corrosion of stainless steel is affected by its elements(such as Ni, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, etc.). Besides the material, the method of stocking the stainless steel wire mesh is also very important. We have some basic suggestions for stainless steel wire mesh stock:

1. The warehouse should be kept ventilation, dry and clean. Not to put the stainless steel wire mesh under the sun.
2. Get enought preparation for the bad weather.
3. The stainless steel wire mesh should be packed well, keep it away with the acid, alkali or other corrosion source.
4. Insure the stainless steel wire mesh are classified safely, recheck it in every season.
5. The temperature of warehouse is better to kept in 25℃, humidity should be under 50 degree.
6. Solve every problem at beginning.
