knitted wire mesh/ knitted wire mesh gasket

详情

Knitted mesh is produced on a cylindrical machine. The output of this machine is a continuous “stocking” of mesh, which is pulled through the knitter by take-up rollers. It can be used directly in this flattened form as an insulation covering or it can be further processed into several other basic forms.

Flattened mesh is sometimes run through corrugating rolls to create crimped mesh. In this form, the corrugations act like springs for resiliency and give the mesh thickness.

Crimped mesh is also used to create compressed units for filtration, shock mounts and flame arrestors. In this case, the mesh is formed in a custom made die. These units are made in densities (% metal by volume) ranging from *0% to *0%. Compressed mesh is also made in a continuous strip form by running the mesh through calendaring rollers.

Mesh can be knitted directly into a hollow tube used by itself or knitted over wound-up mesh to make a cable or gasket core. It can also be rolled or padded to create filters, separators or flame arrestors. In all of the forms of mesh, density and wire dispersion are controlled closely to ensure optimum product performance and repeatability.
