Woven Wire Cloth Crimp Styles

Plain/Double: This standard woven wire cloth weave type produces square openings where the warp wire alternately passes over and under the fill wire at right angles.

Twill Square: Typically used for applications that require managing heavier loads and finer filtration, twill square woven wire mesh exhibits a distinctive parallel diagonal pattern.

Twill Dutch: Twill Dutch is known for its superior strength, which is achieved by packing a high volume of wire in targeted areas of the weave. This woven wire cloth style can also filter particles as small as two microns.

Reverse Plain Dutch: This woven wire weave style features a large warp wire and smaller shute wire count that the Plain or Twill Dutch styles.

Plain Dutch: The Plain Dutch style features diagonally slanted openings that are difficult to see, but produces a strong, compact wire mesh that works well for filtering cloth applications.

Woven Wire Mesh Crimp and Weave Styles

Woven Wire Cloth Crimp Styles

Lock crimp: Lock crimp is comprised of pre-crimped wire featuring the formation of knuckles or bumps over intersecting sets of wires. This locks the mesh in place to create an extremely rigid product.

Double crimp: Double crimp wire mesh cloth exhibits a pattern of warp wires passing over and underfill wires.

Intercrimp: Commonly used for screens and architectural applications, intercrimp woven wire mesh provides superior strength and stability, while offering a rigid mesh solution.

Flat top: As the name implies, the flat top crimp style features a smooth top plane that facilitates the flow of materials.
