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 |
