Conventional Double Crimp |
Most popular type. Used where the opening is relatively small in comparison to
the wire diameter (3 to 1, or less).
|
Lock Crimp |
Used only in coarse specifications to maintain the accuracy of weave throughout
screen life where the opening is large with respect to wire diameter (3 to 1,
or greater)
|
Inter Crimp |
Used in coarse weaves of lighter guage wire to provide greater stability,
tightness of weave and maximum rigidity. Very common in mesh openings larger
than 1/2". |
Flat Top |
Usually starts at 5/8" opening and larger. Provides long abrasive resistant
life since there are no projections on top to wear. Offers least resistance
to flow. Also very popular in certain architectural and structural applications
where a smooth surface on one side is desirable.
