Knitted Wire Mesh
Knitted wire mesh is a metal wire or plastic strand knitted into a mesh structure in very
much the same way as stockings or sweaters. It is in no way related to the woven metal
materials familiar to us as fly screens.
Material:Knitted mesh is made of either crochet or knitting of various wire materials including stainless steel, copper, synthetic fiber and other materials.
Properties of Knitted Mesh:Knitting produces mesh of interlocking loops. These loops can
move relative to each other in the same plane without distorting the mesh, giving knitted
mesh a two-way stretch. This cannot be done with woven meshes, as there is always some form
of connection between the wires at the corners of the square openings. From a functional
point of view, it is this flexibility that gives knitted mesh its unique advantages for
industrial uses.
Applications:Knitted mesh is used in a variety of applications, including the following:
Vibration & Shock Absorption
Air & Liquid Filtration
Noise Suppression
Gasketing & Sealing
Heat Transfer & Insulation
EMI/RFI Shielding
Mist Elimination & Process Separation
Flame Arrestors
Engine Catalysts
