Knitted Wire Mesh are marketed like a flattened continuous sleeve whose structure is based on a series of beautiful and decorative linking arches interwoven by the folds of the wire. 

These meshes, thanks to their great ductility, allow for making bodies of quite different geometry and density that grant them noticeable physical and technical qualities making them suitable to meet a wide range of industrial applications.

Metal Tec manufacture a wide variety and range of knitted wire meshes a long time since. 

Our great experience in the drawing technology, as one of the first companies in the manufacture of Woven Wire Cloth, places us in the best position to fully meet the most demanding technical conditions as to quality and variety of materials.

Also, our great production capacity allows us to have a large raw materials stock to be able to deliver any order at very competitive prices.

Our workshop, equipped with skilled staff and the relevant technology, manufactures components for different application under particular specifications, made of woven wire cloth or knitted wire meshes. 

We are in a position to meet manufactures going from a single unit up to large series, even units weighing a few grammes up to dimensions typical of the petrochemical industry.

Technical Data of Knitted Wire Mesh

The table shows a wide range of knitted wire meshes whose characteristics meet the most frequent use applications.

• A: It is the standard width of the mesh going out of the machine, once flattened (flattened pipe).
• B: lt is the maximum width the machine can deliver.
• C: It is the minimum width the machine can deliver.
• D: Number of machine needles.
• F: Mesh opening. Also included in the nominal width. Two mesh openings machines: 
• The first: opening is that between two needles.
• The Second: is that of the hole of the needle itself, i.e., there is one opening of each alternatively.
• G: Weight of 1 linear m of flat mesh, in grammes, 0,26 mm ø wire, AISI 304, mesh at rest not drawn.

If the wire diameter is different, the weight of the mesh is proportional to the wire section(*). Make the conversion according to the specific weight of each material for the different qualities.

The most current material qualities are:

• Bright steel
• Galvanized steel
• Stainless steel AISI-304 and AISI-316
• Aluminum
• Polypropylene
• Monel
• Refractory 25/20.

Mesh finishing:

• Plain or corrugated, "Diagonal", "Simple ear" or "Multiple ear" shaped.
• All the meshes can be supplied corrugated.

REMARK: Meshes become shorter on being corrugated. The maximum corrugation with our opinions shortens the mesh length by 59%
