SWD:
Short way of design measured from center of bond to center of bond.
LWD:
Long way of design measured from center of bond to center of bond.
SWO:
Short Way of Opening
LWO:
Long Way of Opening
Strand:
One side of expanded metal
design.
Thickness:
Thickness of the base metal
Bond: The solid intersection of two strands - Double the strand width.
Mesh: This is the nominal distance from the mid-point of one bond to the mid-point of the next bond measured across the SWD.
Regular expanded metal:
Expanded metal mesh as it is produced off the expanded metal press with no secondary flattening operation. Material looks similar to a louvered design.
Flattened expanded metal :
Expanded metal that has been cold-rolled after expansion, to provide a smooth, flat, and level sheet. The flattening process usually reduces the original gauge of the base metal.
Finishing : Limited finishes can be accomplished at manufacturing plants. This includes
Electric-galvanized, hot-dipped galvanized, spray-painted.
Coil: Expanded
metal that is produced to a specific width and then wound on a
core.
Sheet: Expanded metal that is produced to a specific width and length.
