Wire Mesh Formula

If opening and wire diameter are known, add both and divide the sum into 1.
 

Mesh  =        

1

(D + O)
      D = Wire Diameter
      O = Opening

Open Area Formula

The percentage of wire cloth open area may be determined by the following equation

 

% OPEN AREA = (1-ND) (1-nd) x 100
N = Wires Per Inch in Warp
n = Wires Per Inch in Shute
D = Diameter of Warp Wire
d = Diameter of Shute Wire

Compute Wire Cloth Opening

To determine a wire cloth opening, divide the mesh count into 1, and subtract the wire diameter.

Opening  =

1

   - D

N

N = Wires Per Inch

D = Wire Diameter
