Camber
Measured by placing a straight edge along the concave side of the sheet parallel to the LWD, touching both ends. The maximum distance from the edge expanded metal to the straight edge is the camber
Raised Mesh
1/16" per foot of length
Flattened Mesh
3/32" per foot of length
Out of Square
Expanded metal sheets are not perfectly square as manufactured. Stock size sheets and machine run non standard size sheets will be produced to the following tolerances
SWD: 1/16" per foot of Width
LWD: 1/16" per foot of Length
Sheets that have to be perfectly square must go through a secondary process of shearing.
Flattening
Flattened sheet thickness shall be plus or minus 10% of published thickness or strand thickness
Non standard sheets
Machine run
Anping Tenglu Metal Wire Mesh Co.,LTD Expanded Metal Square Mesh Product Description: Square mesh: Their large surface with relatively low weight per square meter guarantees proper use in the area of air handling, filter, audio-thermal insulation, partitions and railings production etc. Its aesthetic potential inspires architects to creative solutions. This type of expanded metal is usually supplied in flattened version. Most available in sheet formats: 1x2m , 1,25x2,5m. Materials: Steel (suitable for consecutive finish edit - galvanizing or welding) Aluminium Stainless steel Feature: Application: It is defined by its large surface with relatively low weight per square meter, therefore it is fittingly used mainly in air-conditioning, for acoustic purposes and production of suspended ceilings, grills, partitions or filters.
Steel expanded metal Expanded mesh is mainly applied as platforms and stair treads for constructions, vessels bridges and boilers. They are also used as reinforcement for light construction materials and concrete pouring, radiator grills on all type of vehicles and air-compressors, safety guards for gear-drive equipment on various kinds of machines.
Steel Expanded Metal With Raised & Flattened Type Steel expanded metal is produced from one steel plate or roll through simultaneously slitting and stretching, which forms a wide array of diamond shaped openings with uniform sizes. During the expanding process, the metal can be expanded up to ten times its original width, losing up to 80 % its weight per meter, and becomes more rigid. It is lighter, less expensive than a single metal sheet, and also allows for free flow of liquid, heat, air and sound, yet producing impenetrable barrier to larger solid objects (or persons). Compared with the traditional flat metal sheet, steel expanded metal has more notable advantages for its versatile applications. More and more new applications are found for it in the family, office, and other industrial, commercial fields. How is steel expanded metal made? Steel expanded metal is manufactured by a process of shearing and stretching under a precisely programmed machine, which produces precise apertures but stretches the metal sheet (See more details in Technology). Different specifications can be made by changing the material or the expanded style. Two types of expanded metal Steel expanded metal is manufactured in two ways: raised expanded metal and flattened expanded metal. Raised expanded metal is also known as standard expanded metal, it has diamond openings with slightly raised surface. Flattened expanded metal is manufactured by passing the standard expanded sheet through a cold roll reducing mill, forming diamond openings with flat surface. Features One piece and single unit construction. Less weight and more economic than regular metal sheet. Extensive range of materials to suit any application. It is rigid for protective uses, while providing decorative effect. High quality for durable use. The most economical option among all metal materials. Easy to install.
SS Expanded Metal - Corrosion Resistance, good strength Stainless steel expanded metal is made of stainless steel metal sheet, through die slitting and stretching to form uniform diamond shaped openings. In the manufacturing process, no material is lost, and it offers savings in weight, as well as free passage of light, liquid, sound and air. Stainless steel expanded metal is more rigid than an equal weight of solid steel plate or wire mesh, making it popular in architectural and commercial areas. It is worth mentioning that 18 gauge (0.05" thick) 304 stainless steel and 316 L stainless steel are materials that commonly used. But there is difference between them, so choose suitable material for your needs, and the following information will help you learn more about stainless steel expanded metal. Feature Stainless steel 304 for anti-rusting and heat resistance. Stainless steel 316 has more corrosion resistance. Easy to be welded and cut for your ideal form. Resistant to high temperature and food grade stainless steel especially designed for BBQ grill. High mechanical strength for many applications that need large load bearing. Specification Material: stainless steel 304, 316, 316 L. Types: stainless steel - flattened expanded metal (more attractive than raised type), stainless steel - raised expanded metal.
