Flat Top Crimped Woven Mesh

Type FT - Flat Top Crimp

All crimping is offset to one side producing a wire cloth with all wire surfaces in a single plane on the top. This even surface allows for the smooth flow of materials over the top surface of the cloth.

 

Material Options

• Carbon Steel
• Stainless Steel (e.g., Type 304, Type 316)
• Aluminum
• Galvanized Steel

Dimensions

• Sheet Sizes: Common dimensions include 48" x 96" and 60" x 120", with custom sizes available.
• Thickness: Typically ranges from 0.025 inches to 0.250 inches, depending on the application.

Wire Characteristics

• Wire Diameter: Varies based on the application, typically ranging from 1.5 mm to 5 mm.
• Crimp Style: The flat top crimp design features wires that are crimped in such a way that they form a flat surface on top, minimizing projections and allowing for smoother material flow.

Open Area

• The percentage of open area can vary significantly depending on the specific design but typically ranges from approximately 40% to 70%, allowing for effective airflow and material passage.

Structural Characteristics

• Strength and Stability: The flat top crimp design enhances the overall strength of the mesh while providing a smooth surface that is less prone to wear.
• Durability: This type of mesh is designed to withstand heavy loads and harsh environmental conditions, making it suitable for demanding applications.

Applications

• Architectural Features: Used in decorative panels, facades, and railings for aesthetic enhancement.
• Industrial Screens: Employed in material handling and processing to separate or filter materials.
• Machine Guards: Provides safety while allowing visibility in industrial settings.
• Filtration Systems: Suitable for applications requiring filtration of liquids or solids.

Benefits

• Enhanced Durability: The flat top design offers superior abrasion resistance due to the absence of protruding wires.
• Versatility: Suitable for both functional and decorative uses across multiple industries.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Provides a durable solution at a competitive price point.
