Wire Cloth Terms
–
The space between contiguous parallel wires, expressed in millimeters.
– Steel, galvanized steel
or stainless steel material that is used to reinforce the screen edge.
– A test in which
wire is bent over a specified diameter through a certain angle and for
a preset number of cycles, in order to determine its relative ductility,
soundness and toughness.
– The blocking of apertures
of wire mesh caused by particle entrapment of the process material.
– A method
used to test the average aperture size. The pressure needed for air bubbles
to pass through the mesh, which is covered by a test liquid, is measured,
and surface tension, liquid density, temperature and immersion depth are
taken into account in the calculations.
– Also known as “rolled,”
it is the process of passing wire cloth between two rollers to reduce
the thickness or flatten intersections of wires and to supply a smooth
surface.
– To stamp wire cloth in
order to prevent unraveling and to shape or compact the wire mesh.
– A term used only in
reference to mesh wire cloth, referring to the amount of openings per
linear inch as measured from the center of the wire.
– Corrugations in the
wires for the purpose of securing the wire in place when perpendicular
to each other.
– Crimping of wires
prior to weaving. The shute and warp are in each crimp.
– Non-crimped,
straight wire edges sticking out all around a section of screen cloth
on the same plane.
– The diameter of the
wire prior to weaving.
– A screen surface
that is heated by a screen cloth, which is used as a heating element and
is typically made of stainless steel material.
– Shute and
warp wires occurring in every other crimp.
– The most commonly
utilized sizes of industrial wire cloth specifications chosen for general-purpose
work and typically ready for shipment upon order from companies.
– Excess wire screen material
that, in the slitting or fabricating process, is cut from a standard roll.
– The proportion of
open space to the total area of a wire screen, expressed as a percentage.
– The finishing of edges
along the length of a roll of wire mesh to prevent unraveling.
– Also called “weft,”
“shot,” “shoot” or “fill” wires, they
are the wires going across the width of the woven cloth. Shute wires are
moved back and forth by the shuttle.
– Wires going lengthwise
across the wire cloth. In the weaving process called "warping the
loom," the warp wires are placed first at the preferred spacing.
