Woven wire mesh is commonly made of mesh openings ranging from 5 inches to 20 microns. There are three measurements below for applying wire cloth with mesh sizes greater than or less than one inch.
- Center-to-Center Spacing: Measures from the center of one wire to the center of the adjacent wire.
- Opening Size: Measures the clear opening between wires.
- Mesh Count: Measures the number of mesh openings per lineal inch.
Furthermore, here are the main key points about wire mesh:
- Application drives three key decisions.
- Weaves determine strength and durability.
- Material selection is influenced by operating environment.
- Size is measured differently based on mesh width.
