The standard marking system for woven wire mesh typically involves providing specific information about the mesh characteristics on the product or its packaging. While there isn’t a universally standardized marking system, the following information is commonly included:
Mesh Size: The mesh size refers to the number of openings per inch or millimeter in the wire mesh. It is typically represented by a numerical value. For example, a mesh size of 10 means there are 10 openings per inch. The mesh size helps identify the openness and fineness of the mesh.
Wire Diameter: The wire diameter indicates the thickness of the wires used in the mesh. It is often denoted by a numerical value followed by a unit of measurement such as millimeters (mm) or gauge (e.g., 16 gauge). The wire diameter affects the strength, durability, and openness of the mesh.
Material: The material used in the construction of the wire mesh is commonly indicated. It may include abbreviations such as SS (stainless steel), GS (galvanized steel), BR (brass), CU (copper), or other relevant designations. This information helps identify the specific metal or alloy used and its properties.
Weave Pattern: The weave pattern of the wire mesh can be indicated using specific abbreviations or symbols. Common weave patterns include PW (plain weave), TW (twill weave), and DW (Dutch weave). This information denotes the specific arrangement of the wires and impacts the mesh’s characteristics.
Manufacturer/Brand: The name or logo of the manufacturer or brand may be present on the mesh or its packaging. This helps identify the source or supplier of the woven wire mesh.
It’s important to note that the specific markings and their arrangement can vary between manufacturers and suppliers. Some may provide additional information, such as lot numbers, certifications, or specific industry standards compliance.
