Standard Specification for Industrial Woven Wire Cloth
ABSTRACT
This specification covers industrial woven wire fabric, referred to as wire cloth, for general use including the separation of particles. Wire cloth can be made of any primary metal or metal alloy wire that is suitable for weaving. Wire cloths are specified as normal range of double-crimp square mesh wire cloth (expressed by mesh) and normal range of space cloth (expressed by width opening). The technical requirements for wire cloth includes: wire tolerances, wire cloth tolerances, wire cloth blemishes, and delivery requirements. Test apparatus for either counting mesh or measuring irregular openings shall be compatible with the value of the tolerances.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers industrial woven wire fabric, referred to as wire cloth, for general use including the separation of particles. Wire cloth can be made of any primary metal or metal alloy wire that is suitable for weaving. This specification does not apply to the following special types of wire cloth: filter cloth or dutch weave (see Appendix X1), fourdrinier and cylinder cloth, galvanized hardware cloth, insect wire screening, spiral weave wire cloth, testing sieve cloth, or welded wire cloth.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2016; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A

INTRODUCTION
Industrial wire cloth can be produced in many thousands of combinations of size and shape of
opening, wire diameter, type of weave, and metal. This specification covers woven wire cloth for
industrial use, including the separation of particles. Its purpose is to introduce standard terms and
definitions, to note the normal range of specifications woven, and to establish tolerances and
requirements. This specification excludes sieve cloth from its scope, since this is covered under
Specification E11. If a user has a specific application for industrial wire cloth that is not within the
scope of this specification, it is recommended that the wire cloth supplier be consulted.

3.2.3.1 Discussion—
“Bolting Grade” designations are often misused; and should not be specified without a wire diameter, as the designations have
become non-standard.
3.2.4 firmness, n—a subjective term referring to the planar rigidity of wire cloth (as a roll good, not mounted in a frame).
3.2.4.1 Discussion—
Firmness is established by the tensile strength of the material, the relationship of the mesh to wire diameters, the type of weave,
and amount of crimp in the wires. The absence of firmness in wire cl
