MCOExpanded Metal

The Long Way (LW) dimension of the mesh is precise and constant but the Short Way (SW) dimension is only approximate. Since it is subject to some variation according to the strand width and the material thickness, it is intend to be generally descriptive only. Expanded Metal is Specified first with SWM (Short Way of Mesh) followed by LWM (Long Way of Mesh).

SCULPTURE

Definition

Expanded metal is one continuous sheet of mesh produced when the sheet is sheared and stretched but is left intact at the “knuckles”. Available in a variety of thickness with differing sizes and designs of the mesh.

Material Used

Mild Steel Manufactured using high quality low carbon steel complying to JIS G 3131 SPHC. Normally hot - dipped galvanised to BS 729:1971 for anti - corrosion.

Stainless Steel Manufactured using high SS 304 grade for highly corrosive environment.

Aluminium Manufactured using high commercial grade aluminium sheet grade AA 1100 - H 14.

Powder coated All expanded metal can be powder coated for decorative and chemical resistance applicaton. A wide range of colour selection is available upon request.

Material used : expanded metal

The unique feature of expanded metal is that the mesh formed from the same piece of metal. The “knuckles” where the strand joints create some inherent properties of expanded metal.

The intact “Knuckles” provieds structursl support for loading, suitable for withstanding stress and support weight better then joining and welding process. As there are no joints or welds, it distributes load evenly over wider area.

The opening mesh design allow passage of light, aor and sound: used for screenmesh, ventilator and security screen in many industrial buildings.

Lighter in weight yet stronger then steel sheet, thus economical application for walkway platform, security fencing, machine guards, racking and etc.

Expanded metal mesh does not tray or unravel when cut or left unframed: unsures high degree of security and protection for security prison, military installation, bank vaults and high security fencing.

The anti-skid surface provides safety and grips suitable for stairtreads, rugged, maintainence floor, grating and catwalks for factories, shipyards and oil refineries.

Loading Table For Walkway Mesh

Assumption

1. Recomemded spans stated above are based upon the deflection not exceeding span/200 when subjected to the loads shown.

2. Span stated in the table are nominal. Clear spans can be calculated by deducting 25mm from both ends.

3. Load capacities stated in the table are the heaviest loads that will cause no permanent deformation, with a built-in safety factor of 40% if a slight deformation or sag is allowed.

The selection guide assumes mesh spanning in th direction of long way mesh (LWM) having a minimum of every fourth strand welded on the support and minimum 25mm end bearing.

• As light, durable and strong as mild-steel sheeting, providing a rigid and permanent frame for receiving plaster, steelwork encasements, interior linings and other reinforced constructions.

• Because there are no welds or joints, it operates as a structural memeber that distributes loads evenly over a wider area.

• High strength-to-weight ration makes it technically applicable in many engineering, industrial and ornamental applications. These include safety barricades against opposing traffic on highways, walkways, drain gratings, anti-vandal screens and decorative fencing.

• No loose strands or welds means minimal wear through constant exposure to natural elements or other normal movements.

• Fire resistant and vermin proof, it also provides an anti-slip surface for ramps, catwalks and stairtreads.

• Allows good visibility and the easy passage of air, heat, light and sound while ensuring security and protection.

• A good conductor of electricity, magnetic flux and heat through jointless continuity of materials. Good for electromagnetic screening and driveway heating.

• Anti-corrosive when hot-dipped galvanised or powder-coated.
