EXPANDED METAL MESH<br />
Expanded metal mesh is a raw metal<br />
sheet with apertures. It is produced<br />
by cutting the metal whilst simultaneously<br />
stretching and forming<br />
it and is manufactured from plates<br />
or bands. The meshes are neither<br />
braided nor welded. Expanded metal<br />
mesh can therefore be cut to size as<br />
required without loss of cohesion.<br />
FORMED FROM A SINGLE<br />
PIECE OF METAL<br />
Which means that there is nothing<br />
to work loose, no fretting strands or<br />
strained joins or welds. In contrast to<br />
braided or woven products, expanded<br />
metal mesh has no loss of cohesion<br />
and does not unravel. Expanded metal<br />
mesh is therefore the preferred<br />
choice for applications where durability,<br />
expansion and dimensional stability<br />
are required from even the smallest<br />
components.<br />
MESH LENGTH (ML)<br />
Measurement from knuckle centre to<br />
knuckle centre in the direction of the<br />
long diagonal.<br />
MESH WIDTH (MB)<br />
Measurement from knuckle upper<br />
edge to knuckle upper edge in the direction<br />
of the short diagonal.<br />
STRAND WIDTH (SB)<br />
Width of the remaining material between<br />
the openings.<br />
STRAND THICKNESS (SD)<br />
Thickness of employed material.<br />
Technology<br />
MESH APERTURES<br />
The aperture between four strands<br />
measured vertically to the plane of<br />
the expanded metal mesh.<br />
KNUCKLE<br />
Intersection of four abutting strands.<br />
KNUCKLE LENGTH<br />
Measurement between two long diagonals<br />
KNUCKLE WIDTH<br />
Approximately double the strand<br />
width.<br />
EXPANDED METAL MESH<br />
THICKNESS<br />
Total thickness of the expanded<br />
metal mesh<br />
