Crimped Wire Mesh Overview
Dinglian Co., supplies Crimped Wire Mesh, a versatile material woven from pre-crimped wires, creating a robust and often decorative mesh. The crimps lock the wires in place, enhancing stability and rigidity. Common uses include industrial and architectural applications like vibrating screens, filter supports, animal enclosures, and decorative panels. Classifications vary by wire diameter, mesh size (aperture), crimp style (e.g., plain, lock, interlock), and material (e.g., stainless steel, carbon steel).
Specifications
- Wire Diameter: The thickness of individual wires, typically ranging from 0.02 inches (0.5 mm) for fine mesh to 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) or more for heavy-duty applications.
- Mesh Size/Aperture: The clear distance between adjacent parallel wires, commonly specified in inches or millimeters, influencing filtration and screening capabilities.
- Opening Shape: The geometric form of the space between wires, most often square, but also rectangular, or other specialized shapes depending on application.
- Crimp Style: The pattern of wire bends, including plain crimped, lock crimped, inter crimped, and flat top, affecting mesh stability and appearance.
- Mesh Count: The number of openings per linear inch, directly related to aperture size; higher counts indicate finer mesh, used for precision filtering.
- Panel Width: The lateral dimension of the mesh sheet or roll, often standardized at 3 feet (0.914 meters), 4 feet (1.22 meters), or 5 feet (1.524 meters).
- Panel Length: The longitudinal dimension of the mesh, available in standard sheets (e.g., 8 feet, 2.44 meters) or continuous rolls for longer applications.
- Material Type: The composition of the wire, including carbon steel (plain or galvanized), stainless steel (various grades), and aluminum, dictating corrosion resistance.
- Open Area Percentage: The ratio of the open space to the total area of the mesh, expressed as a percentage, influencing airflow or flow rates.
- Weight: The mass of the mesh per unit area (e.g., pounds per square foot, kilograms per square meter), dependent on wire diameter and mesh count.
