- H - hard wire Wire which has been drawn down to a smaller diameter after the annealing process, increasing its unit strength and reducing its elongation. Hardware Cloth A square mesh, general purpose galvanized-after plain weave wire cloth.. Made in one wire size only, one for each of several standard meshes. Hardware Cloth is also available in welded construction. Harp Screen Screen cloth with long slots, typically 12 inches or longer, for screening high volume tonnage containing a large amount of fines.
heated deck A screen surface that is heated by using the screen cloth as the heating element. Stainless steel is the preferred material due to its low conductivity.
herringbone twill Wire cloth (wire mesh) in which the direction of a twilled weave is reversed at regular intervals to produce a striped or herringbone effect.
Hollander Weave ( See Micronic Filter Cloth ) A description applied to woven wire cloth where the diameter of the warp and weft wires, and the mesh count in the warp and weft directions, are different. The wires are driven up much closer during the weaving process, thus producing a more densely compacted weave with small aperture sizes, without reducing the overall cloth thickness. Also referred to as "Dutch Weave". hook strips See - "formed edge".
HP ( See Micronic Filter Cloth ) Hollander Plain Weave.
HT ( See Micronic Filter Cloth ) Hollander Twill Weave.
Hydrocyclone A liquid-solids separation device utilizing centrifugal force for settling.
- I - ICW Inside clamping width.
insect cloth Plain weave mesh wire screen cloth, typically 18 x 16 or 18 x 14 mesh, available in aluminum, bronze, fiberglass, galvanized or stainless steel wire. Also referred to as "fly-screen".
inside dimension (ID) The distance measured between the inner edges of a formed screen panel. Also referred to as "ICW".
inter-crimp See - "intermediate crimp" intermediate crimp Wire cloth (wire mesh) with extra crimps in warp and shoot (weft) wires between wire intersections.
