Crimped wire mesh is woven from pre-crimped carbon steel, galvanized steel, or stainless steel wire. The crimped intersections hold the wires in position and help maintain the specified opening under screening conditions. It is mainly supplied for screening stone, gravel, aggregate, coal, and other bulk materials. Lighter specifications are also used for machine guards, workshop partitions, and ventilation panels.

Crimped wire mesh is woven from pre-crimped carbon steel, galvanized steel or stainless steel wire. The crimped intersections hold the wires in position and help maintain the specified opening. It is mainly supplied for screening stone, coal, aggregate and other bulk materials. Lighter specifications are also used for machine guards and industrial partitions. Buyers should specify the clear aperture and wire diameter in millimetres. This avoids confusion between SWG, BWG and other wire-gauge systems.
