How To Specify Wire Mesh?

In order to request a quote or order material, it is essential to identify your complete wire mesh specifications. Please find below the seven key criteria needed to request a quote or to place an order with us.

Quantity – how many pieces or rolls do you require for your application? Do you need 1 roll, or cut into pieces?

Mesh (Mesh Count) — first, measure 1″ (from center to wire to center of wire), then count the number of openings in that 1″ span. This number is your mesh, or mesh count. If you happen to know your mesh count, and you’re a bit unclear in terms of the diameter wire, the standard or market grade meshes are an excellent starting point.

Metal or Alloy— what metal or alloy will work best in your application?

Type of Weave— do you requirements call for a plain weave? Or is it a twilled weave? Do you need a welded wire mesh specification?

Type of Crimp— if your requirements call for a woven mesh, there will need to be a crimp style. Is it a plain crimp, intermediate crimp, lock crimp? A hybrid crimp style? Plain crimp is considered the most common.
