How to Determine the Opening
(Aperture) size when the Mesh Count and Wire Diameter are known. |
|
|
M = |
|
Mesh
Count (Pitch) in inches |
D = |
|
Wire
Diameter |
|
|
EXAMPLE 1 |
Assume the following: |
A mesh count of 30
(Pitch = The Center to Center distance between adjacent wires ) |
A wire diameter of
0.013" |
|
1 |
|
Divide 1 by the
mesh count (M) |
1
/ 30 = 0.033333" |
2 |
|
Subtract wire
diameter (D) from step 1 |
0.033333 - 0.013" = 0.020333" |
3 |
|
The answer to step
2 is the opening size. |
Opening = 0.020333" |
|
|
|
|
|
To determine the Pitch measure the distance across
the wire diameters bordering the opening perimeter. When the mesh
count is known, to determine the pitch 1 / mesh count = pitch |
EXAMPLE 2 |
Assume the following: |
A mesh count of 250 |
A wire diameter of
0.0016" |
|
1 |
|
Divide 1 by the
mesh count (M) |
1
/ 250 = 0.0040" |
2 |
|
Subtract wire
diameter (D) from step 1 |
0.0040 - 0.0016 = 0.0024" |
3 |
|
The answer to step
2 is your opening in inches |
Opening = 0.0024" |
