BOLTING CLOTH - Stainless steel mesh woven in plain weave construction using small wire diameter, thus providing a high percentage open area.

CALENDERED WIRE CLOTH - Wire cloth that has passed through a pair of heavy rolls to reduce the thickness of the fabric, or to flatten the intersections to provide a smooth surface.

CLEAR OPENING (Also Space) - Space between adjacent parallel wires.

COUNT (Also Mesh) - Number of openings in a linear inch.

CRIMP - Corrugations in wires to permit locking them in place when perpendicular to each other.

DOUBLE CRIMP - Warp and shute wires lay in each crimp.

DOUBLE INTERMEDIATE CRIMP - Usually the warp wires lay in every crimp in the shute wires, and the shute wires lay in every other crimp in the warp wires.

FILL WIRES (Also Shute Wires) - Wires running accross the width of the cloth as a woven.

GAUGE - Wire size. To avoid possible errors, specify wire diameter in decimal sizes rather than gauge numbers.

INTERMEDIATE CRIMP - Warp and shute wires lay in every other crimp.

MARKET GRADES - Most commonly used sizes of industrial wire cloth specifications selected for general purpose work.

MESH - Number of openings in a linear inch measured from the center of one wire to a point 1" distant.

OPENING (Space) - Clear opening between adjacent parallel wires; not affected by diameter of the wire.

PLAIN WEAVE - Each warp wire and each shute wire pass over one and under the next adjacent wire; wires are crimped in the weaving operation.

PLAIN DUTCH WEAVE - Warp wires are generally larger than the shute wires. Shute wires are closely spaced to provide a dense weave with wedge shaped openings.

SELVAGE - Finished edges running the length of the roll to prevent unravelling.

SQUARE MESH - Wire cloth with mesh count the same in both directions.

TWILLED WEAVE - Each warp wire and each shute wire pass successively over two and under the next adjacent pair of wires.

TWILLED DUTCH WEAVE - Combination of Plain Dutch and Twilled weaves.
