        Wire Cloth Opening Formula

(800) 440-MESH    Phone: (360) 835-7507    Fax: (360) 835-8966

  

 
Opening = 1  -D

M
M =   Mesh Count
D =   Wire Diameter
 
EXAMPLE 1
Assume the following:
A mesh count of 30
A wire diameter of 0.013"
 
1   Divide 1 by the mesh count (M) 1 / 30 = 0.033333
2   Subtract wire diameter (D) from step 1 0.033333 - 0.013 = 0.020333
3   The answer to step 2 is your opening in inches Opening = 0.020333"
       
 
EXAMPLE 2
Assume the following:
A mesh count of 250
A wire diameter of 0.0016"
 
1   Divide 1 by the mesh count (M) 1 / 250 = 0.0040
2   Subtract wire diameter (D) from step 1 0.0040 - 0.0016 = 0.0024
3   The answer to step 2 is your opening in inches Opening = 0.0024"
