Common Wire Wrap and Weave Terminology
BOLTING CLOTH : Relatively light meshes produced by weaving finer-than-standard wire diameters for any given mesh. Primarily used in sifting and screen printing; however, its relatively high Open Area percentage makes it desirable in many applications.
MARKET GRADE : Wire cloth specifications that are commonly woven and stocked.
MESH : Wire cloth specifications that are commonly woven and stocked.
OFF COUNT : A mesh with a greater number of wires per linear inch in one direction - usually warp (vertical). Also called "Rectangular Mesh".
OPEN AREA : The ratio of the area of the openings to the total area.
OPENING : The distance between two parallel, adjacent wires usually expressed in decimal inches. The theoretical width of an opening is a direct function of the mesh count and wire diameter, both for which there is a manufacturing tolerance.
PLAIN WEAVE : Weave pattern where each wire goes alternately under then over each successive wire.
SELVAGE : The edge or border of wire cloth, finished to prevent unravelling (versus a raw or cut edge.) Types of selvage edges include looped, folded, welded and fine mesh border pattern.
SHUTE WIRES : Wires running across woven cloth, perpendicular to warp wires. Also called "fill" or "weft" wires.
SQUARE MESH : A mesh with identical number of wires per linear inch in both warp (vertical) and shute (horizontal) directions.
TWILL WEAVE : Weave pattern where each wire goes alternately over two wires then under two successive wires. "Herringbone Twill" is a special type, in which the direction of the twilled weave is reversed at regular intervals to produce a striped effect.
SQUARE MESH : A mesh with identical number of wires per linear inch in both warp (vertical) and shute (horizontal) directions.
WARP WIRES : Wires running the vertical length of woven cloth.
WIRE DIAMETER : Normally referred to in decimal parts of an inch; a determining factor in a weave's mesh count. Technical Datasheet (21KB PDF) |
