Double-Twist, Hexagonal Mesh

A double-twisted wire mesh is a non-raveling mesh made by twisting continuous pairs of wires through three one half (½) turns (commonly called double-twisted) to form hexagonal shaped openings which are then interconnected to adjacent wires to form hexagonal openings.

Tolerances on the hexagonal, double-twisted wire mesh opening shall not exceed ±10% on the nominal dimension D values (see figure), as follows:


Mesh Type Nominal dim. D values
6 x 8 64 mm (2.5 in)
8 x 10 83 mm (3.25 in)
