expand metal mesh specifications primarily consist of nine parameters: mesh aperture, mesh thickness, plate thickness, mesh width, mesh length, strand width, long pitch, short pitch, and mesh weight. These nine specifications determine the shape and properties of Guancheng expand metal mesh. Below are the specific specifications for expand metal mesh. The measurement unit for expand metal mesh specifications is generally millimeters (mm).

Strand Width (Strand): The strand width is the width of each mesh opening's edge. It is generally greater than or equal to the plate thickness. Strand width determines the hardness and weight of the expanded steel mesh.

Strand Width and Plate Thickness: Plate thickness refers to the thickness of the raw steel plate used to make the expanded metal. Plate thickness is a required specification when customizing expanded metal.

Mesh Aperture: The aperture shape is typically diamond-shaped, though hexagonal honeycomb or rectangular shapes are also available. Aperture size is generally defined as the distance from strand center to strand center.

expand metal mesh Thickness: Mesh thickness refers to the thickness of the expanded mesh surface after forming. When customizing expand metal mesh, the required sheet thickness is typically provided to the manufacturer, not the mesh surface thickness. Mesh thickness is influenced by multiple factors including sheet thickness and rib width.

Long Pitch of Expanded Metal Mesh: The long pitch refers to the length of the long diagonal from the center of one rhombus mesh opening to the center of the next. It is usually measured in millimeters (mm).

Short Pitch of Expanded Metal Mesh: The short pitch refers to the length of the short diagonal from the center of one mesh opening to the center of the next. The short pitch is a key factor determining the weight of the expanded metal mesh; a shorter short pitch results in a heavier mesh.

Weight of expanded metal mesh: Mesh weight serves as the fundamental basis for pricing standard expand metal mesh. Additionally, the complexity of fabrication and processing significantly influences the price. For instance, custom-shaped expanded metal typically commands a much higher cost.

Nodes of expanded metal mesh: The connection points where two wires intersect.

Roll: Refers to expanded metal wound into coils, specifying the exact length and width.

Sheet: Indicates the specific length and width of a steel expanded metal sheet.
