5mm Round Hole Galvanised Steel Sheet Perforated Metal – 7mm Pitch – 1mm Thick

Description

Galvanised Steel Sheet Perforated Metal

5mm round hole galvanised steel sheet perforated metal is produced by punching flat galvanised plate with a specific pattern. The customer’s requirement for metal for cosmetic or application purposes drives this decision.

galvanised steel sheet Product Summary

The galvanised steel sheet is a perforated metal mesh designed with precision and functionality in mind. Made from galvanised steel, this product offers enhanced durability and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. One of its notable features is the 5mm round hole size or aperture, which ensures consistent sieving or filtering capabilities.

The pitch of the mesh, which stands at 7mm, is the distance from the start of one hole to the next. This measurement encompasses both the hole size and the gap between the holes, ensuring optimal spacing for diverse uses. With a thickness of 1mm, this flat sheet is robust enough to handle various applications while still maintaining flexibility for shaping and installation.

The triangular pattern of the perforations adds an aesthetic appeal to the mesh, making it a popular choice for architectural and decorative purposes. Beyond aesthetics, this pattern also influences the mesh’s strength and distribution of open space, balancing functionality with design.

Specification Of This Mesh:

• Hole Size (Aperture) – 5mm round hole
• Pitch – 7mm. You can measure the pitch from the start of one hole to the next or the hole size plus the gap between the hole
• Thickness – 1mm thick flat sheet
• Pattern – Triangular

Sheets with perforations are commonly used to allow air to pass through. Ventilation and filtration are the main uses for this mesh type. Rodent proofing is another use for perforated sheeting.

We also offer a massive range of hexagonal hole galvanised metal sheet options from immediate stock.

In order to produce galvanised steel hexagonal perforated metal mesh sheet, flat sheet metal is punched with a hexagonal hole. Perforated sheets are commonly often used in applications where the passing of air is required. Because the holes are punched, it is possible to have a far stronger finished metal product than it would be for the equivalent thickness in woven or welded mesh.

FAQs For This Product

How Is The 7mm Pitch Measured On The Mesh?

Galvanised steel sheets have a 7mm pitch, which is the distance from the starting point of one hole to the starting point of the next hole. The 5mm diameter of the round hole (or aperture) as well as the 2mm gap or space between the holes make this measurement crucial. When you measure from the edge of one hole to the same edge of the next hole, it sums up to 7mm. In applications requiring precise perforation patterns and distances, this consistent spacing ensures the mesh’s uniformity. In this context, pitch determines the mesh’s open area, ventilation capacity, and overall aesthetic, ensuring optimal functionality and design.

Is It Possible To Cut Or Resize The Steel Sheet At Home?

Yes, it’s possible to cut or resize the galvanised steel sheet at home, though some precautions and appropriate tools are needed. Here’s how:

1. Safety First: Always wear protective gloves and safety goggles to prevent any injuries from sharp edges or metal shards.
2. Marking: Use a ruler or measuring tape and a marker to precisely mark the area you wish to cut. This will ensure a straight and clean cut.
3. Cutting Tools: For smaller cuts or adjustments, tin snips or metal shears will work well. For larger sections or more precise cuts, an angle grinder with a metal cutting wheel or a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade is more suitable.
4. Smooth the Edges: After cutting, the edges might be sharp or have burrs. Use a metal file or sandpaper to smooth them out, ensuring safety during handling and installation.
5. Rust Protection: If you’ve cut the sheet, you’ve exposed the edges where the galvanisation might have been removed. To prevent rusting, it’s advisable to apply a thin layer of zinc-rich paint or a rust protector on the cut edges.
6. Measure Twice, Cut Once: Ensure all measurements are accurate before making any cuts. This reduces material wastage and ensures the end result fits its intended purpose.

How Does The Mesh Fare In High-Temperature Environments?

Due to its inherent heat resistance, galvanised steel sheets are specifically designed to provide durability. Due to its melting point of 1,370°C (2,500°F), steel is suitable for many high-temperature applications. However, the galvanised coating, which is essentially a layer of zinc, can react to prolonged exposure to high temperatures. Zinc can oxidise or vaporise over time and under continuous heat, potentially reducing the sheet’s corrosion resistance. It should perform admirably for short periods of time or at moderate temperatures. However, extended periods in extreme heat may compromise the protective galvanised layer. Consider additional protective measures or coatings if necessary based on the specific environment.
