FAQs For This Product

How Should I Cut Heavy Duty Wire Mesh?

Cutting stainless steel heavy-duty wire mesh requires some specific tools and safety precautions. Here are the steps to cut the mesh:

1. Safety First: Wear safety goggles to protect your eyes from flying particles, and gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges.
2. Measure and Mark: Measure the area you want to cut and mark the cutting lines on the mesh with a marker.
3. Use the Right Tools: For heavy-duty wire mesh, it is recommended to use tin snips or aviation snips for manual cutting. For larger projects or thicker mesh, an angle grinder with a metal cutting wheel or an electric metal shear may be more suitable.
4. Cut Along the Lines: Carefully cut along the marked lines. If you are using tin snips, start from one edge and cut towards the centre. If using an angle grinder, secure the mesh to a stable surface and carefully cut along the lines.
5. Smooth the Edges: After cutting, the edges of the mesh may be sharp. Use a file or sandpaper to smooth down the edges.

Is The Wire Mesh Suitable For Aquatic Applications, Such As Fish Ponds?

It is not recommended to use 304 grade woven wire mesh for aquatic applications such as fish ponds because it is less corrosion resistant than 316 grade. In saline or chlorinated waters, it is recommended to use 316 grade stainless steel wire mesh because it offers better corrosion resistance.

Can This Wire Mesh Act As A Shield Against Electromagnetic Interference?

It is true that stainless steel wire mesh can act as a shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Electromagnetic radiation can be trapped and dispersed by stainless steel, since it is a conductive material. The effectiveness of EMI shielding depends on several factors, including mesh count, wire thickness, and aperture size. To determine the most suitable mesh specifications for your specific EMI shielding application, it is advisable to consult a professional or the manufacturer.
