(a) These standard designations correspond to the values for test sieve apertures
recommended by the International Standards Organization Geneva, Switzerland.
(b) These sieves are not in the fourth root of 2 Series, but they have been included
because they are in common usage.
(c) These numbers (3 1/2 to 400) are the approximate number of openings per linear
inch but it is preferred that the sieve be identified by the standard designation in
millimeters or um.

Vibrating
Screen Bed
Depth
Formula
The feed to a vibrating wire mesh screen contains a
mixture of material in varying sizes. The oversized
material will retard passage of the undersized
material, creating a temporary restriction which
results in a build-up (bed) of material on the surface
of the screen.
Bed depth diminishes as the undersize material
passes through the wire mesh screen apertures.
The material bed should not be allowed to reach a
depth that prevents the undersize from stratifying
before discharge at the wire mesh screen surface
end.
Generally, the discharge end bed depth should not
exceed four times the size of the wire mesh screen
surface aperture when separating 100 lbs. per cubic
foot material, or three times for 50 lbs. per cubic foot
material.

Basic Wire Cloth and Wire Mesh Weaving Methods


The weave type is the manner in which warp (lengthwise with roll) and
weft (across roll width) wires are interwoven. Each weave type has
special advantages which must be considered when selecting the
correct type for a specific application.
Wire Cloth is woven in two general classifications, common (loom
force crimped) or precrimped, both groups include a wide variety of
distinct patterns.

Common Weaves
Specifications of 10 Mesh or finer are typically woven of smooth
drawn wires which are "force crimped" into place during the
weaving operation by the loom ram.
As the ram (often referred to as the beater) moves forward pushing
the weft wire into position between the warp wires, both warp and weft
wires are deformed (crimped) in a proportional relation to the wire
tensile/yield strength.
Wire cloth is most frequently produced in common weave patterns as
it is more economical in course to medium mesh production and
essential in the production of fine mesh specifications.

Precrimped Weaves
Specifications coarser than 10 mesh are typically woven of wire
that has been crimped before the weaving process.
Precrimped weaves are produced in two separate operations, first the
wires (typically both warp and weft) are crimped (deformed) to suit the
selected pattern and mesh count, then the "precrimped" wires are
woven together on the loom.
The crimping operation may be accomplished through the use of a

wheel crimper or a punch crimper. The wheel crimper is more


practical in finer mesh specifications and coarser mesh specifications
on substantial quantity production runs. Punch crimping is most
practical when working with larger diameter wire due to its strength, or
when production

Common Weaves, Wire Cloth Weaving Styles


Plain Woven
The most popular wire cloth weave. Each
weft wire passes alternately over and
under each warp wire and each warp wire
passes alternately over and under each
weft wire. Warp and weft wire diameters
are generally the same.
Twill Weave
Each weft wire alternately passes over
two, then under two successive warp
wires and each warp wire passes
alternately over two and under two
successive weft wires, in a staggered
arrangement. Twill weave is normally
used to allow a heavier than standard
wire diameter in association with a given
mesh.
Plain Dutch Weave
While the warp wires remain straight, the
weft wires are plain woven to lie as close
as possible against each other in a linen

weave forming a dense strong material


with small, irregular and twisting
passageways that appear triangular when
diagonally viewing the weave.

Dutch Twill Weave


Similar to Plain Dutch weave, except that
the weave is twilled, allowing a double
layer of weft wires. There are no
apertures in the true sense of the word as
the filtrate follows a sinuous path through
the depth of the wire cloth.

Reverse Dutch Weave


This is the reverse of the Plain Hollander
(Dutch) weave, in that the weft wires are
heavier than the warp wires.

Pre-crimped Weaves, Wire Cloth Weaving Styles


Wire cloth woven of previously crimped wires provides accurate
openings and is woven tighter than plain weave. Pre-crimped
weaves are preferred for vibrating screens and many other
applications where sizing is critical.
Space Screen and Square Mesh in 10 mesh and coarser are
typically woven of precrimped wires.

Comparative Gauge / Decimal Wire Diameters

Gauge sizes are indicated as whole numbers, the tables below give the
decimal equivalents of the different gauge numbers. Much confusion has
resulted from the use of gauge numbers, in ordering wire cloth or wire mesh i
is preferable to state the exact dimensions in decimal fractions of an inch or a
millimeter. The decimal method of indicating wire diameters has the
advantage of being self-explanatory, whereas arbitrary gauge numbers are
not.
Most common wire cloth specifications such as Bolting Cloth, Filter Cloth,
Fine Mesh, Market Grade and Mill Grade utilize decimal wire diameters.

Industrial Hardware Cloth and Space Cloth specifications are typically


identified by a gauge number rather than the actual decimal value of the wire
diameter.

Wire Cloth Formulas


Wire Mesh Formula
If opening and wire diameter are known, add both and divide the
sum into 1.
1
Mesh
(D + O)
D = Wire Diameter
O = Opening
Open Area Formula
The percentage of wire cloth open area may be determined by the
following equation
% OPEN AREA = (1-ND) (1-nd) x 100

N = Wires Per Inch in Warp


n = Wires Per Inch in Shute
D = Diameter of Warp Wire
d = Diameter of Shute Wire
Compute Wire Cloth Opening
To determine a wire cloth opening, divide the mesh count into 1,
and subtract the wire diameter.
1
Opening =
-D
N
N = Wires Per Inch
D = Wire Diameter

Wire Mesh Roll Width Tolerances


Standard wire mesh roll widths are:
24", 36", 39.37" (1 Meter) , 48" and 60".
The allowable deviation in the width of standard production wire
mesh rolls, except when slit to specific dimensions, shall be in
compliance with the tolerances shown in the table below.

Vibrating Screen Installation and Maintenance


You can dramatically increase the life of your wire cloth screens
and do a more efficient job of material screening by following
these steps.
Screen Installation
1. Channel rubber or crown bar rubber must be replaced before
new screens are installed to assure longer screen life.
2. Use new tension bolts and tension all bolts equally on both sides
of the deck.
3. Screens should be centered on the deck before clamping rails are
applied.
4. Make certain butted screen panels are tight together to avoid
oversized material leakage.

5. Clamping rails must be the exact length of the screen panel being
installed.
Never overlap clamping rails.
6. After 4 to 8 hours of operation, retighten the screen to take up
any stretch that might have occurred.

1.

Screen Maintenance
Inspect all clamping bars for corrosion
and wear.
Make sure bars are not warped
or worn to the point that they
cannot provide even, tight
tension.

2.

Inspect all nuts and bolts.


Replace all worn or damaged
parts in the screen assembly.
All hole positions on the
clamping bars must be utilized.

3.

Maintain the support deck.


Remove channel rubber to
inspect steel bars for wear, high
and low spots, or bar breakage.
Support area must be uniform to
ensure an even and tight screen
fit.

4.

Change your channel rubber frequently.


Remember that channel rubber
will wear from the bottom up as
well as from the top down.

Check both sides.


Never mix channel rubber sizes
or styles such as Flat-Top and
Round-Top on the same deck.
5.

Check cushion and spread of material


feed.
Cushioning of feed to the screen
deck is essential to long screen
life. Use feed plates or stone
boxes so that materials do not
hit wire cloth directly.
Material should be spread out to
feed evenly over the entire
screening surface for maximum
screen life and production.
This also reduces uneven wear
as the vibrator is operating in a
more balanced condition.

6.

Inspect equipment for balance and


excessive vibration.
An unbalanced machine can
cause premature wire cloth
failure.
Equipment with a violent,
uneven vibrating motion will
cause stresses in the screen,
and the cloth may actually break
apart.
Correct the unbalanced
condition before continuing
screening operation.

Woven Wire Cloth Selection


The following information is required to process your inquiry
promptly and efficiently:
Mesh -or- Opening
The mesh count (number of openings per linear inch) or the desired
opening (clear space between adjacent parallel wires) should be
entered in the form.
Wire Diameter
The wire diameter has a direct proportional relationship between
strength and the percentage of open area.
As the wire diameter increases, strength increases and open area
decreases.
As the wire diameter decreases, the open area increases and the
strength decreases.
Greater strength improves screen life.
Greater open area improves screen throughput.
If you require assistance in selecting the wire diameter, please
provide detailed information regarding your application in the
"Comments" text box.
Material
The pull down menu in the material field contains several different
types of materials that are most frequently utilized in the production
of wire cloth.
For assistance in material selection, provide detailed information
regarding the application in the "Comments" section.
Roll Length
The standard woven wire roll length is 100' although shorter or

longer rolls can be provided.


If you prefer, wire cloth can be provided in panels rather than in roll
form. Panels may be produced by cutting existing roll stock to the
desired length or cut to length during the weaving process.
Please indicate the desired roll or panel length. Any critical
tolerances should be specified in the "Comments" text box.
Roll Width
Standard roll widths are 24" 36" 40" 48" and 60".
Narrower specifications may be slit directly on the loom or as a
secondary operation from existing roll stock.
Edge Condition
Normal raw (slit) edges will be provided unless otherwise specified.
When necessary, smooth selvage edges can be provided at extra
cost. The most popular selvage is "looped" although brushed,
feathered, plastic coated or welded edge treatments are available
by order.
Quantity
Please indicate the number of panels (pieces) or rolls required.
If the total quantity is to be delivered in a number of shipments,
please specify the amount desired per release and the dates
required in the "Comments" text box.

WIRE MESH OPENING CHART


This wire mesh chart is provided to simplify the process of selecting a

Vibrating Screen Bed Depth Formula


The feed to a vibrating wire mesh screen contains a mixture of
material in varying sizes. The oversized material will retard passage
of the undersized material, creating a temporary restriction which
results in a build-up (bed) of material on the surface of the screen.
Bed depth diminishes as the undersize material passes through the
wire mesh screen apertures.
The material bed should not be allowed to reach a depth that
prevents the undersize from stratifying before discharge at the wire
mesh screen surface end.
Generally, the discharge end bed depth should not exceed four
times the size of the wire mesh screen surface aperture when
separating 100 lbs. per cubic foot material, or three times for 50 lbs.
per cubic foot material.
Aggregate, Ore and Gravel Screening Formula for calculating
theoretical discharge end bed depth:
______O x C______
DBD
= Inches of Bed
5xTx
Depth
W
DBD = Discharge End Bed Depth
O = Oversize in STPH
C = Cubic Feet Per Ton of Material
5 = Formula Constant
T = Rate of Travel (nominal 75 fpm for
inclined screen at slope of 18 to

20 with flow rotation and nominal


45 fpm for horizontal screen)
W = Width of Screening Area in Feet

Wire Cloth Screen Edge Hook Clamping Strips


Screens for classifying, sizing, straining, sieving, are typically
secured to a vibrating deck by clamping rails that apply tension
across the screening surface. The tension is applied through edge
treatments on the woven wire cloth screen panel commonly referred
to as "hooks" , "hook strips" or "hooking strips".
Proper screen tension is crucial for effective screening and longer
screen life.
Banded edges prevent flattening of hook edges and eliminate mesh
pull-out on fine wire mesh or high tension screens.
Plain Hooked Edge
Without Reinforcing,
Typically provided on
screens of 5/16" and larger
wire diameters. Edges are
annealed before forming to
eliminate cracking and
breakage.
Inside Reinforced Formed
Edge
This hook strip is utilized for
screens 5/16" and larger

wire diameters. Edges are


annealed before forming to
eliminate cracking and
breakage.
Reinforced Shroud Banded
Edge
Provided as standard on
screens up to 1/4" wire
diameter. Standard
shrouding is 16 gauge with
other thickness' available on
request.
Double Folded Reinforced
Shroud Banded Edge
This treatment eliminates
screen pull-out on screens
woven of smaller wire
diameters. Standard
shrouding is 20 gauge with
other thickness' available on
request.

Double Reinforced Shroud


Banded Edge
This treatment also
eliminates screen pull-out on
finer wire sizes. It includes a
internal metal insert for
reinforcement. Standard
shrouding is 20 gauge with
other thickness available on
request.
End Tension Reinforced
Shroud Banded Edge
Specially reinforced to
prevent pull-out under
extreme screen tensioning.
Also available in Double
Reinforced Style.
When ordering screen edge
preparations, give vertical
height of hook (H) and angle
of formed edge (A).
Standard hook length (L) is
1".
Standard hook height (H) is
3/4".
Standard angle is 45 - 65.

Woven Wire Cloth Selection


The following information is required to process your inquiry
promptly and efficiently:
Mesh -or- Opening
The mesh count (number of openings per linear inch) or the desired
opening (clear space between adjacent parallel wires) should be entered in
the form.
Wire Diameter
The wire diameter has a direct proportional relationship between strength
and the percentage of open area.
As the wire diameter increases, strength increases and open area
decreases.
As the wire diameter decreases, the open area increases and the strength
decreases.
Greater strength improves screen life.
Greater open area improves screen throughput.
If you require assistance in selecting the wire diameter, please provide
detailed information regarding your application in the "Comments" text box.
Material
The pull down menu in the material field contains several different types of
materials that are most frequently utilized in the production of wire cloth.
For assistance in material selection, provide detailed information regarding
the application in the "Comments" section.
Roll Length

The standard woven wire roll length is 100' although shorter or longer rolls
can be provided.
If you prefer, wire cloth can be provided in panels rather than in roll form.
Panels may be produced by cutting existing roll stock to the desired length
or cut to length during the weaving process.
Please indicate the desired roll or panel length. Any critical tolerances
should be specified in the "Comments" text box.
Roll Width
Standard roll widths are 24" 36" 40" 48" and 60".
Narrower specifications may be slit directly on the loom or as a secondary
operation from existing roll stock.
Edge Condition
Normal raw (slit) edges will be provided unless otherwise specified.
When necessary, smooth selvage edges can be provided at extra cost. The
most popular selvage is "looped" although brushed, feathered, plastic
coated or welded edge treatments are available by order.
Quantity
Please indicate the number of panels (pieces) or rolls required.
If the total quantity is to be delivered in a number of shipments, please
specify the amount desired per release and the dates required in the
"Comments" text box.

Plain
Dutch
Weave
Filter
Cloth

Plain Dutch Filter Weaves can accommodate high flow


rates with a relatively low pressure drop. They are
woven with each warp and weft (shute) wire passing
over and under one wire. The weft wires are smaller in
diameter than the warp wires and are driven up close
together, creating a dense filtration weave.
Mesh Counts shown without wire diameters are
typically not available from stock.

Twill
Dutch
Weave
Filter
Cloth
In a Twill Dutch (Hollander) Weave the weft wires are
driven up so tightly that there is always a shute wire
above and below the warp wires, creating a weave
with the warp wires completely covered. The flowpass geometry is extremely tortuous, allowing
reasonable flow rates while insuring excellent particle
size retention.
