Weaving Standards |
| RR-W-360A |
| Federal Specification RR-W-360A
Industrial Wire Fabric
(obsolete) |
| This standard
was published by the Federal Supply Service, General Services
Administration, for the use of all Federal agencies, effective December
1970. It was originally published as RR-C-00440 effective February
1954, which was superseded by RR-C-440 effective April 1956, which was
then superseded by RR-W-360 effective February 1963. |
| RR-W-360A
was, and
remains the most referenced standard for wire
cloth. It established types, classes, requirements and tolerances, as
well as promoting 4 specific grades, based
on wire diameters for certain mesh designations. |
| |
| ASTM
E-437 |
| American Society for Testing and
Materials, Standard Specification for
Industrial Wire Cloth and Screens referred to as "Square
Opening Series". This standard was published by
ASTM Subcommittee E29.01 for Sieves, Sieving Methods, and
Screening Media, under Committee E29 for Particle Size Measurement,
effective 1971. |
| The
specification intended to cover wire cloth for general industrial use,
and was commonly referenced, but was not applicable to industrial woven
wire cloth as tolerances and specifications were based on
the opening width rather
than mesh count by domestic wire weavers.
The standard designated 4 grades of mesh and wire diameter
combinations similar to RR-W-360,
although working tolerances were based on the
average width of a given opening. |

| A-A-1037A |
| Commercial Item Description
A-A-1037A Industrial Wire Fabric
(obsolete) |
| This standard
was published by the
General Services Administration (GSA) in lieu
of RR-W-360, as a commercial item description, effective April
1980. |
| The standard
was general in nature and was not
applicable as it stated that wire fabric design, size, and tolerances
shall be in accordance with ASTM E-437. The Federal Supply Service
Commissioner of the under GSA issued cancellation of
standard and later determined that ANSI/AWCI-01-1992 will be
applicable for government procurement. |

| ISO
9044:1999 044
|
| Industrial
Woven Wire Cloth – Requirements and Tests |
| This standard
was published by the ISO TC24/SC3
technical committee of the International Standards Organization.
A detailed and comprehensive standard,
which covers industrial woven wire cloth, although
it is not applicable for domestic wire cloth based on mesh
designation. It specifies preferred designations based on aperture and
grade, all of which utilize metric
specifications, and the standard excludes the
definition of mesh. |
| |
| ANSI-AWCI-01 |
| American National Standards
Institute, ANSI:AWCI-01 (obsolete) |
| American National Standard for
Industrial Wire Cloth |
| Published by ANSI, and sponsored
by the American Wire Cloth Institute (AWCI), effective June 1992.
|
| This standard had the advantage
of being the only standard to cover industrial wire cloth as specified
and manufactured in the United States according to mesh. It was written
to cover woven wire cloth, for industrial use including the separation
of particles. |
AWCI-01 was prepared by a
committee of the AWCI, and revised based on comments received through
the ANSI canvass ballot procedures, which resulted in consensus
approval.
It was attempted to develop the standard using RR-W-360 as the basis,
and incorporate concepts such as defective openings and maximum number
of blemishes from ISO 9044. |

| ASTM E-2016 |
| American Society for Testing and
Materials Standard Specification for
Industrial Woven Wire Cloth. Published by ASTM
Subcommittee E29.01 for Sieves, Sieving Methods, and Screening Media,
under Committee E29 for Particle Size Measurement, effective 1999. |
| |
| ASTM E-11 |
| American Society for Testing and
Materials, Standard Specification for Wire Cloth and Sieves for Testing
Purposes. Published by ASTM Subcommittee
E29.01 for Sieves, Sieving Methods, and Screening Media, under
Committee E29 for Particle Size Measurement, effective 1925. |
| This standard covers sieve cloth
specifications based on aperture tolerances. Sieve cloth is used for the
sizing of particles, as opposed to industrial wire cloth used for the
separation of particles. E-11 is currently being revised to more closely
align with equivalent ISO 3310. |
