corrosion The deterioration of a metal by chemical or electrochemical reaction with its environment.
count The number of openings (apertures) in a lineal inch. See- "mesh".
crimp A smooth contoured indentation formed into wire providing a locking arrangement for perpendicular wires to stabilize the hole size and shape.
crown An arc placed in woven wire mesh (screen cloth) to facilitate tensioning across a crowned deck. crown bar cover A protective sleeve of rubber or polyurethane, contoured to the shape of a vibrating screen decks support rails (stringers) on the bottom surface and provided with a "crown" shape on the top surface to prevent direct contact between the screen and the supporting surface and help facilitate tensioning of the wire cloth.
Crown bar cover is also referred to as "bucker-up strips", "buffer strips", "c-b-c", "channel cover" and "channel rubber".
cut-back Edge preparation (hook strip) that is shorter than the screen cloth to allow a lap-joint of the screen cloth panel in conjunction with a butt-joint of the edge preparation, thus preventing leakage between screen panel sections.
- D - delinter screen Galvanized 8 x 8 mesh, using 0.032" diameter wire, used to polish lint from cotton.
dewatering Separation of solids from liquids in which the solids are retained on the screen surface while the liquids pass through the screen (wire mesh or wire cloth) surface.

double crown Two arcs placed in a screen panel to conform with double contoured crown rails on a vibrating screen deck, allowing for fastening (tie-down) in the center of the screen section.
double shoot Frequently used in "slotted openings" to increase wire cloth strength and durability. Two shoot wires are placed in adjacent crimps on each end of the long slot. Also referred to as "double bar", "double shot", or "double shute".
double weave Wire cloth with equal depth crimps in both warp and shute wires, thus locking the wires in position. Also referred to as "double crimp", "over and under" or "regular crimp".
