WIRE CLOTH BASICS

Both types of Wire Cloth can be cut, formed and fabricated into various shapes to meet particular requirements or reach specific levels of filtration.

Measuring Wire Cloth
Mesh count can be shown as either a whole number, fraction, or as two numbers unless the material is a special cloth called space cloth - each item is described below:

·Whole Number or Fraction
Mesh Count is identified as the distance from center to center of the parallel wires horizontally and vertically .

·Space Cloth

This material is measured by the actual open space between parallel wires, known as clear opening, space size, or open area.

Two Numbers (Example: 2 x 2 )
Mesh Count is identified by the number of actual openings per linear inch horizontally and vertically.
