HOW TO MEASURE YOUR MESH

There are three ways to convey the spacing of industrial wire cloth; mesh count, opening, or center-to-center distance.

MESH COUNT

The number of openings in a linear inch measured from the center of one wire to a point one inch distant. Figure A depicts a 4 x 4 mesh count. Mesh Cloth Specification Tables.

OPENING

The space between adjacent parallel wires is usually measured in inches. When designating the specification by opening it, it is often referred to as space cloth. Figure B depicts a ¼” opening space cloth. Square Opening Space Cloth Specification Tables.

CENTERS

The center-to-center distance is measured from the center of one wire to the center of the next adjacent parallel wire. Figure C shows an example of 1” x 1” c-c or center-to-center mesh. Center to Center Specification Tables.
