Wire Mesh Weight Calculator

How to use this result

Actual weight varies with wire tolerance, weave crimp, coating, edge treatment and fabrication.

What to confirm

Submit the result with the application, dimensions, quantity and operating conditions if you want a human specification check.

Keep pitch and opening separate

The woven calculation uses mesh count to estimate wire length per square metre. The welded calculation uses center-to-center pitch in both directions. If you only know welded clear opening, add nominal wire diameter to obtain pitch before entering the value.

Worked interpretation

The result uses nominal round-wire cross-section and the selected reference density. Coating mass, wire tolerance, weld upset, cropped edges, frames and attachments are excluded. Use an agreed unit weight or production weighing method for commercial settlement.

Before you put the result on a purchase order

Confirm the construction and weave, nominal geometry, material grade, finished width and length, edge treatment, quantity, tolerance basis and inspection documents. State whether values are nominal, minimum or maximum. For a replacement part, add a drawing or labeled photographs and explain the observed failure mode.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Mixing millimetres, micrometres and inches without recording the conversion.
• Assuming a calculated combination is automatically stocked or manufacturable.
• Using nominal open area as filtration efficiency, pressure drop or structural capacity.
• Leaving material certificates, tolerances, edges and finished dimensions until after quotation.

Save the input and output with the RFQ so another reviewer can reproduce the calculation. If the duty is critical, use a sample, drawing review or process test before releasing production.
