- Wire
It is shown as the thickness of wire itself,or by the number of the wire gauge list. Unless specifically designated,B.W.G shall apply when it is thicker then #30,and S.W.G when thinner.

- Opening
The distance between the inside surfaces of adjacent parallel wire and the opening is calculated by the following formula.
Opening (mm)=25.4(mm)÷mesh - wire diameter (mm)
|

|
- Open area
Gives the percentage of open area in a standard wire mesh.
Opening (mm) 2
Open Area(%)=(----------)x 100 Opening(mm)+ Wire diameter (mm)
