Woven wire cloth (also referred to as woven wire mesh) is utilized in so many different applications that it is difficult to identify a natural or man made product that is not associated in some way to wire cloth.
Typically, most wire cloth applications may be separated into one of two distinct groups of usage, inclusion or exclusion. In applications where "inclusion" is the objective, the opening between wires plays the primary role. In applications where "exclusion" is the objective, the wire is the key factor.
When the wire is of primary importance, the following factors are usually considered: |
Aggregate, Sand & Gravel
