Steel Mesh Partitions
Steel mesh consists of a series of low
carbon or stainless steel wire strands
that are arranged in perpendicular fashion and electrically
welded together at their points of contact. The all-welded
structure produces a strong, uniform and durable product that
can be used in commercial and industrial settings.
Sometimes called welded fabric, steel wire mesh is used widely
in a number of industries including mining, farming and construction
for partitioning, storage and security purposes. They can
also be used to reinforce concrete and retaining walls.
Types of Steel Mesh
Steel mesh can be categorized by the way they are made,
their unique characteristics, and applications:
Electro Galvanized Steel Mesh Partitions:
This type of steel mesh is designed for fencing
and other infrastructural projects. The wire mesh is galvanized
after welding and possesses excellent corrosion resistance
and oxidation resistance. Electric galvanized welded wire
is available in different forms for construction, fences and
other industrial uses.
Hot-dipped Galvanized Steel Mesh Partitions
Made using plain steel wire, it goes through
a hot zinc covering process to make it anti-corrosive. This
type of welded mesh is also galvanized after welding, and
can resist “white rust” without requiring a sealant.
Hot-dipped galvanized wire mesh is ideal for animal cages,
grills, wire
partitions, grates, and safety
fencing for machinery.
PVC Coated Steel Mesh Partitions:
Made with high quality galvanized iron or low carbon steel,
this welded steel mesh type features a smooth plastic coating
that increases its durability. PVC coated wire mesh is mostly
used for residential and commercial fencing, as well as outdoor
recreational areas. All kinds of colored coating are available
to meet client specifications.
Stainless Steel Welded Mesh Partitions:
This type of welded wire is mostly used in making industrial
fencing and heavy-duty wire partitioning systems.
Made with high-grade stainless steel, it possesses rigidity
and strength. Corrosion-resistant, it is widely used in the
transportation, agricultural, and mining industries.
Welded Wire Gauges and Sizes
There are many different combinations of wire gauge and mesh
size available. The diameter of the steel strands used can
vary depending to the application. Generally, the thicker
the wire, the smaller the gauge number is.
Four numbers are used to define the thickness of the wire
mesh. For example, if we look at this dimension: 6
x 6 x W 2.1 x W 2.1. The first two numbers (6 x 6)
indicate the lengthwise spacing and crosswise spacing of the
wire, both in inches; the last two values (W 2.1 x W 2.1)
are W numbers that indicate the size of the cross-sectional
area in the wire in hundredths of an inch.
Heavier-gauge steel is used in the manufacturing of wire
partitioning barriers, security fences and security cages.
Lighter-gauge steel is more often used in fencing and as
a reinforcing element.
