Guide to
Understanding "Woven Wire Product Specifications" |
|
|
|
The
word specification is defined as "to state
explicitly or in detail" or "to be specific". |
|
|
|
Screen
Technology Group has published over 1,200 catalog
products, all of which are well described among our
extensive library of 28 Primary Product
Specification Groups. These groups are all
accessible from our Wire
Cloth Products page. |
|
|
|
Each type (or
class) of Specification Group is accessible from the
Woven Wire Cloth
Products page. Each product specification group
is provided with a brief description of the group
and a link that will deliver you to the Product
Specification Group page |
|
|
|
The
Specification Group pages usually provide
descriptive information most relevant to the
individual Group and a table listing all the
individual specifications residing within the
product group.
The table listings provided for
each group may list as few as three or up to more
than three hundred product specifications

A typical
Product Specification Group table shown above, was
copied from the Bolting Grade product page. The
information provided within the table includes the
basic essentials of any woven wire product including
the Mesh Count, Opening Size, Wire Diameter
and percent of Open Area. |
|
|
|
