Stainless SteelThe weight in pounds of any size wire per linear foot should be determined by the following formula:Weight per linear foot = D2 x 12 x 0.7854 x 0.2830 (D) Diameter in inches; (12) Length in inches; (0.7854) Conversion factor of the area of circles; (0.2830) Density of steel in pounds per cubic inch
Alloy or Nonferrous WireThe weight in pounds should be determined by the above formula, substituting the densities asindicated below:
Width Of OpeningThe width of opening of industrial wire cloth should be determined by the following formula:Width of opening = (1-DM/M) (D) Wire diameter (M) Mesh
Open AreaThe percentage of open area of industrial wire cloth, except space cloth (indicated below), should bedetermined by the following formula:Percentage of open area = (OM)2 x 100 (O) Size of opening (M) Mesh
Open Area; Space ClothThe percentage of open area for space cloth shouldbe determined by the following formula:Percentage of open area = [O/ (O + D)]2 x 100 (O) Size of opening (D) Diameter
Special AlloysStandard weights of wire cloth in any of the followingmetals will be found to be percentages, as noted, of the standard weights on Stainless Steel wire cloth.
