Welded wire mesh is a widely used material known for its strength, uniformity, and ease of use. Welded wire mesh offers a compelling combination of strength, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. Understanding the different material options, coating methods, and applications allows for selecting the ideal welded wire mesh solution for your specific needs.

Material Options

• Low Carbon Steel Wire: Most common and cost-effective choice for general applications.
• Stainless Steel Wire: Offers superior corrosion resistance for demanding environments.

Benefits

• High Strength: Provides excellent structural integrity for various applications.
• Uniformity: Consistent mesh size ensures predictable performance.
• Ease of Installation: Simple to cut, weld, and bend for customization.
• Cost-Effectiveness: An affordable solution for fencing, reinforcement, and enclosures.
• Corrosion Resistance: Often galvanized or coated for long-lasting durability.

Applications

• Construction: Reinforcing concrete slabs, walls, and foundations.
• Fencing: Creating secure perimeters for residential and commercial properties.
• Animal Enclosures: Building cages and pens for livestock and pets.
• Partitions: Dividing industrial spaces and creating secure areas.
  

Coating Options

• Hot-Dipped Galvanized: Provides a thick and robust zinc layer for enhanced corrosion resistance.
• Electric Galvanized: Offers a smoother finish with moderate corrosion protection.
• PVC Coated: Enhances weather resistance and adds a layer of protection against wear and tear.

Weaving and Coating Methods

• Hot-Dipped Galvanized After Weaving: Galvanizes the finished mesh for optimal corrosion resistance.
• Electric Galvanized After Weaving: Similar to hot-dip galvanizing, but with a thinner zinc layer.
• PVC Coated Welded Wire Mesh: Applies a PVC layer after welding for additional weatherproofing.
  

Mesh Count

Mesh count refers to the number of wires per linear inch in both the horizontal and vertical directions of the mesh.

• 6 x 6 mesh (152 x 152 mm): A versatile option for general applications like fencing and machine guards.
• 8 x 8 mesh (12.7 x 12.7 mm): Provides good balance between airflow and protection in applications like animal enclosures.
• 10 x 10 mesh (6.35 x 6.35 mm): Offers a finer screen for applications requiring better filtering or smaller particle control.
• 12 x 12 mesh (5.08 x 5.08 mm): Ideal for situations demanding a very fine screen, like sifting or filtering small components.

Wire Diameter

Wire diameter refers to the thickness of the individual wires used in the mesh. Thicker wires offer greater strength but also create larger openings.

• 2.0 mm (0.079 inches): A common choice for applications requiring a balance between strength and weight, often used in fencing and animal cages.
• 2.5 mm (0.098 inches): Offers increased strength for heavier duty applications like machine guarding or industrial partitions.
• 3.0 mm (0.118 inches): Provides significant strength for high-pressure environments or heavy object support.
• 1.5 mm (0.059 inches): A thinner option suitable for applications where weight reduction or finer filtering is desired.

Standard Shapes

Welded wire mesh typically comes in square or rectangular shapes. Square mesh is the most common, but rectangular mesh can be used in specific applications where a directional bias is required.

Sizes

Welded wire mesh comes in various sheet sizes to accommodate different project needs.

• 4' x 8' (1219 x 2438 mm): A standard size often used in construction and fencing applications.
• 6' x 10' (1828 x 3048 mm): A larger size suitable for bigger projects or where fewer seams are desired.
• Custom sizes: Many suppliers offer custom cutting to specific dimensions based on your requirements.

Typical Standards

Welded wire mesh may comply with various industry standards depending on the material and application.

• ASTM A185: Standard Specification for Steel Wire, Plain, Black, or Galvanized
• ASTM A395: Standard Specification for Compacted Steel Strand Wire for General Purpose Reinforcing
• EN 10223-2: European Norm (EN) specifying tolerances of rolled steel products with a thickness of less than 6 mm.
  

Packaging

Welded wire mesh is typically shipped on pallets for protection during transport. Pallets may be secured with straps and protective materials to prevent damage during handling.
