■Mesh

Designates the number of openings per inch (about 25.4mm).

■Opening

Designates the measurement of the clear open space between parallel adjacent wires.
Opening Size=25.4 mm÷Mesh Count−Wire Diameter
Pitch=Opening Size+Wire Diameter; or 25.4mm÷Mesh Count
Open Area %=(Opening Size)2÷(Opening Size+Wire Diameter)2×100

■Wire　Diameter

Designates the diameter of wire before weaving. With a same mesh count, when the wire
diameter is different, the opening size and open area are significantly changed
