Industrial Woven Wire Cloth Glossary

It is composed of interwoven warp and weft wires of the same diameter. It is woven by alternating the warp wire over and under the weft wire.

Each warp wire passes alternately over and under 2 weft wires, and each weft wire passes alternately over and under 2 warp wires. The warp wire and weft wire are in the same diameter.

Each warp wire passes alternately over and under every weft wire and forms into a 90° angle. The warp wire and weft wire are not in the same diameter, generally, weft wires are denser than warp wires and the diameter of warp wire is larger than the weft wire.

Each warp wire passes alternately over and under 2 weft wires, and each weft wire passes alternately over and under 2 warp wires. The warp wire and weft wire are not in the same diameter, and the diameter of warp wire is larger than the weft wire.

The diameter of warp wire is smaller than the weft wire. Each warp wire passes alternately over and under every weft wire and forms into a 90° angle.

The diameter of warp wire is smaller than the weft wire. Each warp wire passes alternately over and under 2 weft wires, and each weft wire passes alternately over and under 2 warp wires.

Every warp wire alternately up and down each single and four weft wires. Each weft wire alternately up and down each single and four warp wires.

• Mesh count: The number of openings per linear inch.
• Mesh opening (W): It refers to the hole size. Typically measured in inches, it's the distance between the two closest parallel wires.
• Pitch (P): The distance between the middle point of two adjacent wires or the sum of the mesh opening (W) and the wire diameter (D).
• Warp wires: All wires running lengthwise of the cloth as woven.
• Weft wires: All wires running across the cloth as woven.
