How to Specify Standard (Raised) Expanded Metal

Pattern: SWD × LWD (short and long way of diamond), strand width and thickness.
Raised or flattened: Raised gives grip and stiffness; flattened gives a smooth face.
Material: Carbon, galvanized, stainless steel or aluminum.

Materials

Standard supply is stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316/316L; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.

Fitting & Care

Span the long way of the diamond across supports for maximum strength.
Band or frame cut edges, which are sharp.

Common Mistakes

Loading the short way of the diamond.
Using raised mesh where a flat surface is needed.

When Standard (Raised) Expanded Metal Is Not the Right Choice

Not a precision filter medium — the diamond opening is not controlled to filtration tolerances.
