Woven 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
