Wire Cloth Definitions:
Calendering
A rolling operation which flattens the knuckles of wire cloth giving it a smoother surface.
Crimp
Undulations in warp and fill wires which hold each other in place.
Fill Wire
aka SHUTE WIRE, wire running across the width of the cloth.
Filter Cloth
Cloth used for flattening or straining (primarily plain and twilled dutch wire cloth and certain specifications of square mesh and off-count standard wire cloth).
Hardware Cloth
Plain weave square mesh cloth of relatively light wire galvanized after weaving (usually between 2 to 8 openings per lineal inch).
Market Grade
Applies to wire cloth specifications most commonly used for general work. market grade cloth is made of one size wire for each size closed mesh.
Mesh
Number of openings per lineal inch, measured from center of wire to center of wire.
Micron
1/1000 millimeter, 0.00003937 inch. The unit of measure for particle retention of filter media.
Oil Tempered Wire
High carbon steel wire that is heat resistant to produce good strength and abrasion resistance.
Opening
Dimension between parallel adjacent wires.
Rectangular Mesh
Wire cloth with different warp and fill wire mesh counts which results in rectangular openings. The most common have a higher warp mesh than filler mesh. Advantages are increased open area and reduced cost.
Selvage
The finished edges of wire cloth running the length of the roll which are produced by the weaving operation.
Space Cloth
Wire cloth specified by the opening size rather than by the mesh count.
Square Mesh
Mesh with equal spacing of warp and shute to give square openings.
Warp Wire
Foundation wires running parallel to the length of the cloth.
Weaves
Pattern in which wires are interwoven.
Wire Diameter or Gauge
Diameter of wires used in weaving cloth.
