Physical Properties |
|
The properties, other than mechanical properties, that pertain to the physics of a
material; for example, density, electrical conductivity, heat conductivity, thermal
expansion. |
|
|
|
pitch |
|
The distance between centers of two adjacent wires
usually stated in inches or millimeters. |
|
|
|
pitting corrosion |
|
Localized corrosion resulting in small pits or craters in a metal surface. |
|
|
|
Plain Weave |
|
Woven wire cloth in which each warp and each weft wire passes over one and under the
next adjacent wire in both directions. |
|
|
|
Plain Dutch Weave |
|
Dutch weave with each warp and shoot wire passing alternately over and under each
successive wire. |
|
|
|
plugging |
|
Near size particles trapped in screen apertures (openings) preventing passage of under
size particles. See - "blinding" |
|
|
|
polymer leaching |
|
|
|
porosity |
|
The fractional void volume of the mesh. |
|
|
|
Poultry Netting |
|
Light-weight hex shaped netting, usually manufactured from galvanized wire. |
|
|
|
pre-crimped weave |
|
Wire cloth (wire mesh) woven with warp and/or shoot wires crimped before weaving. |
|
|
|
pressing cloth |
|
Off-count mesh utilized in commercial clothing press (ironing) machines to aid in heat
distribution. Typical meshes include 50 x 40, 60 x 50 and 64 x 56. |
|
|
|
profile wire |
|
Wire that has been drawn into a "wedge" (tapered) shape, which becomes
progressively narrower from top to bottom. |
|
|
|
Profile Screen |
|
A screen panel made up of profile wires with openings that become progressively wider
from top to bottom. This increases dewatering efficiency and aids in screening material
which might otherwise blind a screen surface. Also referred to as "wedge wire
screen". |
|

|
PZ |
|
Reverse Hollander Plain Weave. |
