How To Measure Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Size?

How To Measure Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Size

For the stainless steel woven wire mesh: Wire mesh size including mesh count, wire diameter, and aperture.

Mesh count is the number of holes in 1 inch of the mesh, it can be measured by a magnifier.
Wire diameter is the thickness of a single wire of the mesh, it can be measured by a micrometer.
Aperture also called hole size, can be measured by a ruler.

There is a formula between them:
Mesh count=25.4/(Wire diameter+Aperture)
The unit is millimeter, and this formula is valid for welded wire mesh, and square wire mesh.

For example:
200 mesh stainless steel woven wire mesh with 0.05mm wire diameter, we can calculate the aperture based on this information:
The aperture is 25.4/200-0.05=0.077mm, so it is simple to know all the wire mesh sizes information.

We hope our introduction will be helpful to you.

Industry Standards Of Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh

Industry Standards Of Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh
