The basics of Weave mesh
Weave mesh is like a fabric that is woven for specific functions and purposes. It is generally woven in looms that are used in the production of cloth but in this case, it is not yarn but thin wire. Different designs are created in the process of weaving from the twill square weave, plain weave wire cloth, inter-crimp wire cloth, reverse Dutch weave cloth, double crimp wire cloth and lock crimp wire cloth. There are many weaving options available because of the number applications that require weave mesh. Because of the mechanical properties of wire, it remains stable and rigid throughout the weaving process.
Different styles of Weave mesh
Twill square weave – is woven using an alternating pattern (one over two and under two warp wire). This type of weave has a design that includes parallel diagonal lines that gives the weave mesh a specific mesh count. Heavier wires are usually used in the design so that it can handle heavier loads. This design is frequently used for filtration process because of the strength of the wires and weaving style.
Plain weave wire cloth – is one of the most common among wire cloths. It is typically designed for simple applications to provide support and protection. Wire cloth is woven together using a specialized process so that different densities can be produced. Different types of wires can be used so that it can be applied as animal screens, for decorative purposes, as shielding mesh and for fencing applications.
Inter-crimp wire cloth – is typically made from stainless steel wire with an extra crimp on its warp and fill wire. The design has larger openings in the mesh in order that bigger undesirables are strained out from its apertures.
Reverse Dutch weave mesh – is also made from stainless steel wire that has incredible strength. This is considered to be among the strongest of woven wire cloths available in the market that can be used heavy duty applications.
Double crimp wire cloth – is woven with crimped warps and shuts at intersecting pongs to ensure that the wires are in a specific position. Double crimped wire cloth is not crimped prior to weaving in the looms.
Lock crimp wire cloth – is also made from stainless steel wire. The design produced has the warp and Shute wires crimped at points of intersection so that any wire movement in the mesh is eliminated.
Most of these woven wire cloth are specifically manufactured for industrial applications but if you are not particularly knowledgeable about their characteristics, it is best to consult the professionals in the industry prior to purchase.
