Expanded Metal Mesh Sizes
Expanded Metal Mesh Sizes vary depending on the application, material, and manufacturing requirements. The key dimensions include:
Strand Thickness (Gauge or mm) – Refers to the thickness of the metal strands that form the mesh. Common ranges are 0.5 mm to 6 mm for industrial use, with thicker strands for heavy-duty applications.
Diamond or Mesh Opening Size – The distance between strands, measured from the center of one strand to the center of the next. Standard sizes range from 3 mm × 6 mm up to 100 mm × 200 mm, though custom openings are available.
Sheet Size – The overall dimensions of a mesh sheet, usually 1 m × 2 m, 1.2 m × 2.4 m, or larger, depending on material and usage.
Strand Width – The width of each metal strand, typically 1 mm to 20 mm, affecting strength and open area.
Expanded metal mesh can also be customized in thickness, strand width, and opening size to meet specific strength, airflow, or decorative requirements.
