How the figures are worked out
Browse wire mesh- Aperture
- 25.4 ÷ mesh count − wire diameter
- In millimetres: the clear opening between two wires.
- Open area
- (aperture ÷ pitch)² × 100
- A percentage. Pitch is the aperture plus one wire.
- Weight per square metre
- mesh count × wire diameter² ÷ 2
- In kilograms, for stainless steel wire in millimetres.
- Other metals
- weight × metal density ÷ 7.9
- Scaled by density, against stainless steel at 7.9 g/cm³.
The figures are for plain square weave with one wire diameter in both directions, and the weight is an estimate. Dutch weaves, rectangular openings and welded mesh are worked out differently: send us the specification.
