 MESH
- The definition of mesh is the number of openings per lineal inch.
The mesh is counted by starting from the center of one wire and
counting the number of openings to a point one lineal inch distant.
For example, No. 4 mesh indicates that in one lineal inch there
are four openings as shown. ^
 SPACE
- The term space represents the clear opening between two parallel
wires as shown. ^
 GAUGE
OR WIRE DIAMETER - These terms refer to
the thickness of individual wires used. It is preferred to use decimals
when stating wire thickness. ^
 PLAIN
WEAVE - This term means "over one
and under one." Almost all plain weave is double crimped, that
is, both the warp and the shute wires are crimped and locked into
position both ways as shown. ^
 INTERMEDIATE
CRIMP - Both the warp wire and shute wires
are pre-crimped before weaving.
It is employed in coarser meshes to obtain large openings with relatively
light wires, and still have firm wire cloth. ^
