Testing / Standards
SSWM have undertaken extensive testing please refer to the Testing/Standards Tab below.
Design & Install Considerations
Practical information for your consideration.
Architectural Mesh
If the mesh is being used externally for aesthetic purposes, to minimise tea staining please evaluate if the mesh is to be pickled, passivated and electropolished.
Care & Maintenance
Stainless steel is a low maintenance material, but not maintenance free. Regular cleaning is recommended to prevent the build-up of contaminants such as dirt and salt. Refer to our CARE page for further information.

Stainless Steel Woven Black Mesh - More Information
Stainless Woven Mesh Terminology
Mesh – The number of openings per lineal inch.
SWG – Standard wire gauge
Aperture– The distance between two adjacent wires
Diameter– The thickness of the wire before weaving
Pitch– The distance between the middle point of two adjacent wires or the sum of the aperture width and the wire diameter.
% Open Area– The ratio of the area of the aperture to the area of the mesh expressed in percentage terms
Warp– All wires running lengthwise of the cloth as woven
Weft– All wires running across the cloth as woven
Stainless Woven Mesh Formulas
Aperture
Calculating the aperture
1. Count of a convenient number of apertures (N)
2. Measure the length covered by the N apertures (L)
3. Measure the wire diameter (D)
4. The average aperture
Working example of calculating the aperture of 6/20 woven wire mesh
1. Number of apertures counted N = 6
2. Length covered by apertures centre to centre L = 25.4mm
3. Diameter of wire D = 0.9mm
4. Aperture
The woven wire is identified as 3.33mm aperture / 0.9mm diameter
Mesh Count
If the aperture and the diameter are known the mesh count can be determined
Percentage Open Area
The mesh has a 62% open area
Micron Conversion
Micron (micrometer) is a unit of measure, in which usually only fine mesh under 1mm is referred to. A micron us a thousandth of a millimetre.
In this example 325/48.5, 0.043mm aperture, 0.035mm diameter is used.
Plain Weave
Has extra crimps in warp and weft wires between intersections.
Lock Crimp Weave
Is produced with pre-crimped wire. Lock crimp weave is stabilised by a notch or bump at the wire intersections.
Is Produced by passing each fill wire alternatively over and under two warp wires.
