Wire Cloth Formulas

    Wire Mesh Formula
If opening and wire diameter are known, add both and divide the sum into 1.

Mesh  =   

1


(D + O)

   D = Wire Diameter

   O = Opening

 
 
Open Area Formula
The percentage of wire cloth open area may be determined by the following equation

% OPEN AREA = (1-ND) (1-nd) x 100

N = Wires Per Inch in Warp
n = Wires Per Inch in Shute
D = Diameter of Warp Wire
d = Diameter of Shute Wire
 
 
Compute Wire Cloth Opening
To determine a wire cloth opening, divide the mesh count into 1, and subtract the wire diameter.

Opening  =

1

   - D

N

N = Wires Per Inch

D = Wire Diameter
