Expanded Metal
Terminology |
|
|
|
|
|
Expanded Metal |
|
A rigid piece of metal that has been slit and drawn into
an open mesh pattern in a single operation. It is stronger,
lighter in weight and more rigid than the original base metal.
Conventional mesh is formed in a diamond pattern. |
|
|
|
|
Base Metal |
|
Original metal before it is expanded; thickness is usually stated as
gauge. |
|
|
|
|
Finished Thickness |
|
Thickness of expanded metal after its final secondary operation(s).
|
|
|
|
|
Strand |
|
One side of expanded metal design. (See Diagram)
|
|
|
|
|
Bond |
|
The solid intersection of two strands - Double the strand width. (See
Diagram) |
|
|
|
|
SWD |
|
Short way of design measured from center of bond to center of bond. (See
Diagram) |
|
|
|
|
LWD |
|
Long way of design measured from center of bond to center of bond. (See
diagram) |
|
|
|
|
Flattened |
|
Expanded metal that has been cold-rolled after expansion, to provide a
smooth, flat, and level sheet. The flattening process usually reduces
the original gauge of the base metal. |
|
|
|
|
Unflattened |
|
Expanded metal as it is produced off the expanded metal press with no
secondary flattening operation. Material looks similar to a louvered
design. |
|
|
|
|
Coil |
|
Expanded metal that is produced to a specific width and then wound on a
core. Typical footage per coil is 2,000 or more feet. |
|
|
|
|
Cut to length (sheet) |
|
Expanded metal that is produced to a specific width and length.
