(This article and series are from our sister brand Gerard Daniel, the specific technical expertise and resources discussed within are all available on Gerard Daniel’s website.) Each industry has its own specific terminology – and the wire cloth industry is no different. Below are the most common terms used when discussing wire, wire mesh and […]
Cutting wire mesh or cloth to a correct specification can be challenging. Wire mesh does not behave like sheet metal and can easily fray or move out of line if the mesh is not set up properly.
Woven and welded wire mesh comes in endless sizes and variations. In this article, we will discuss how wire mesh is measured and the factors that go into determining the correct mesh size for different industries and applications.
Selecting a micron wire mesh can be a daunting task. To better understand the complexities of mesh selection overall, let’s consider the more limited example of just choosing a 60-micron filtration mesh. We will first discuss some of the variables in what you expect the mesh to accomplish, followed by a comparison of the ways of weaving different characteristics into the mesh, then conclude with ways an experienced mesh partner can avoid costly and wasteful pitfalls.
In part three we separate the possible from the practical and discuss manufacturability or forming of the wire mesh media to meet the shape of the filter design, and how it can affect the filtration properties of the wire mesh.
Cold Bond™ is a unique metallic bonding process developed to stabilize wire mesh for batteries, fuel cells, green hydrogen production and other processes.
Wire mesh is a versatile material consisting of parallel rows and intersecting columns of wire. It comes in many different shapes, sizes, weave designs, materials and metal alloys for a number of industrial and manufacturing applications. Among the specifications used to describe wire mesh are the terms Nominal and Absolute retention rating, but what exactly do these terms mean?
The demand for new renewable energy sources is giving rise to new-generation fuel cell development and hydrogen production using electrolyzers. Within this sector, wire mesh is one small component of the larger whole, but the right selection plays a critical role in the overall performance of the specified application. So, what exactly is its function, and what are its advantages?
