Knitted wire mesh is made by knitting machine similar to jumpers and scarves machine. The final knitted mesh is in the structure of inter-connecting loops, and it similar to a long knit sock. We can produce multifilament, co-knit and multi-strand knitted wire meshes.
Our knit wire diameter is commonly range from 0.11 mm to 0.35 mm. But for special applications, knit wire as small as 0.03 mm or as large as 0.8 mm in diameter is available.
Physical Properties: Knitted wire mesh comes in wire diameters of .006", .008", .0095" and .011". It is available in flattened tubes with widths of 6, 8, 10, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 38 and 42 inches. Tubes are then rolled and packaged for shipping in cardboard boxes. Mesh can also be supplied in either a flat or crimped (corrugated) form. Our crimped mesh yields will yield approximately 20% less coverage.
Construction Recommendations:
- .011 and .0095 wire diameters are recommended for maximum strength and temperature.
- .008 is ideal for intermediate applications requiring less frequent removal and for sewn applications.
- .006 is recommended for applications that require flexibility
