A comprehensive glossary of wire cloth, wire mesh, screening and weaving terms. This page requires several seconds to load.
 

Filtration

Flow Rate Data - Particle Retention
Tables provide micronic retention standards, wire cloth screen thickness, weights and flow rate comparison data for oil, fuel and air.
 
 

Screening - Sifting - Sizing - Sorting

Bed Depth Formula
The material bed should not be allowed to reach a depth that prevents the undersize from stratifying before discharge at the screen surface end.
 
Mesh Locator
Popular wire mesh specifications organized by screen opening in descending order from large (0.446") to small (0.0010").
 
Screens for classifying, sizing, straining, sieving, are typically secured by clamping rails that apply tension across the screening surface.
  
Screen Specification Selection Tips
Assistance with selection of woven wire cloth screen specifications.
   

Standard Sieve Series for Woven Wire Cloth

Standard designations correspond to the values for test sieve apertures as recommended by the International Standards Organization (ISO)
 
Total Required Screening Area
A separate calculation is required for each deck of a multiple deck screen, although the same formula is utilized for each calculation.
 
Valuable tips to reduce operating costs by maximizing screen life.
 
Screen Openings suitable for dry screening applications.
 
Screening Tables for dry and wet screening applications.
 
 

Wire Weaving Materials

The most popular materials utilized in wire cloth weaving are identified.
 

Chemical analysis of the most popular Stainless Steel Wire grades.

 
Corrosion Resistance of Stainless Steel
Stainless Steel weaving materials are resistant to corrosion although chemical attack should be considered prior to usage in a screening application.
 
Table provides hard drawn and annealed tensile strengths of weaving wire.
 
Weights of Various  Materials
Various weaving materials are percentages of the standard weights of Plain Steel as shown in the wire cloth specification tables.
   
Gauge sizes are indicated as whole numbers, the reference tables give the decimal equivalents of the different gauge numbers utilized in wire cloth weaving. 
 
Wire Diameter Tolerances
Allowable deviation from nominal Carbon and Stainless Steel wire diameters.
 
   

Weaving Standards

Formulas
Formulas for computing Mesh Count, Size of Opening and Open Area.
 
Weave Styles
Wire cloth weaves in both common and precrimped are defined and illustrated.
 
Roll Width Tolerance
Standard wire cloth roll width tolerances.
 
Space Cloth Opening Tolerances
Allowable deviation of space cloth openings.
 

Woven Wire Mesh Count Tolerance

The allowable deviations in the mesh count shall be applied separately for warp and shute (weft) directions.
