How the estimate works
Explore woven wire meshOpen area
(Clear opening ÷ pitch)² × 100. The opening is nominal, not a filtration rating.
Weight basis
Straight-wire volume in both directions × nominal density. Use Custom density if measured.
Estimate limits
Excludes crimping, selvages, coatings, frames and tolerances. Not for Dutch or unequal weaves.
Example: A 40 mesh square weave with 0.20 mm wire has a 0.435 mm (435 µm) clear opening and 46.928% open area. At the nominal 304 stainless steel density of 7.90 g/cm³, a 1 m × 10 m piece weighs approximately 7.817 kg.
