For wire screen mesh of different materials and different weaving or processing, the weight calculating method is different. Following is the formula commonly used to calculate weight:


Square Hole Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Weight Calculation:

wire dia. x wire dia. x mesh x l x w÷2= weight in kg

Welded Wire Mesh:

1”: wire dia.×wire dia.× l x w÷2= Weight in kg

1” x 1/2”: wire dia.× wire dia.× l x w÷4 x 3= kg

1/2”: wire dia.×wire dia.× l x w= kg

1/3”: wire dia.×wire dia.× l x w x 3 x 0.48= kg

1/4”: wire dia.× wire dia.× l x wx 2= kg

3/4”: wire dia.× wire dia.× l x w÷3 x 2= kg

3/8”: wire dia.× wire dia.× l x wx 1.35= kg

5/8”: wire dia.× wire dia.× l x w÷5 x 8÷2= kg

2” x 4”: wire dia.× wire dia.× l x w÷4 x 0.75= kg

Square Opening Aluminum Alloy Wire Mesh: wire dia.×wire dia.×mesh x l x w÷2 x 0.33= Weight in kg

Hexagonal Wire Netting:

Wire dia.×wire dia.× cardinal number x l x w÷2= weight in kg

The cardinal number for different hexagonal opening listed as below:

1/2”=2.15

1”=1.27

3/4”=1.6

5/8”=1.87

5/4”=1.09


In the following calculation formula, the simplified terms used refers to the terms below:

Wire dia. = wire diameter;

Mesh = hole numbers per inch;

l = roll length;

w = roll width;
