Specification data for 16 mesh faraday cage shielding mesh to IEEE 299 / MIL-STD-188-125: aperture and micron rating, standard and alternative wire diameters, open area, weight per square metre, and the applications this fineness is commonly used for.
16 Mesh Specification Row (IEEE 299 / MIL-STD-188-125)
| Mesh count | Wire diameter (mm) | Aperture (mm) | Open area (%) | Material | Roll width (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16-Mesh | 0.280 | 1.308 | 67 | Copper | 1000 |
Typical Applications for 16 Mesh Faraday Cage Shielding Mesh
16 mesh faraday cage shielding mesh is commonly specified for coarse screening and grading, safety guarding, animal enclosures, plaster and render reinforcement, and support layers behind finer filter cloth.
Plain, Twill or Dutch Weave at This Rating?
Plain square weave is the standard at this count: every opening is a true square of the stated aperture, retention is absolute for hard spherical particles, and the cloth is easy to clean.
What Faraday Cage Shielding Mesh Does
Building Faraday cages, RF-shielded rooms and EMP-protected enclosures from conductive woven metal mesh that blocks external radio-frequency fields while staying light, ventilated and see-through.
Fitting & Care
- Solder or clamp every seam continuously; spot fixings leave slot-shaped leaks.
- Seal doors and lids with conductive finger stock or gasket, and filter any cable that enters.
