Stainless Steel Hexagonal Wire Netting

Stainless steel hexagonal wire netting, widely recognized for its durability and versatility, serves various roles including fencing, animal enclosures, and agricultural supports. Fabricated from high-quality stainless steel, this netting is prized for its superior corrosion resistance and strength, suiting both indoor and outdoor applications.

Specifications of Stainless Steel Hexagonal Wire Netting

Mesh Size
The size of the hexagonal openings is crucial as it affects the netting's applicability across different scenarios.

Common Mesh Sizes:

• 1/2 inch (1.27 cm)
• 3/4 inch (1.9 cm)
• 1 inch (2.54 cm)
• 1.5 inches (3.81 cm)
• 2 inches (5.08 cm)

Wire Diameter and Gauge Comparison

The thickness of the wire used in the netting determines its strength and flexibility. Stainless steel hexagonal wire netting comes in various wire diameters, often measured in both millimeters and gauge sizes for clearer understanding and comparison.

Wire Diameter and Corresponding Gauges:

• 0.5 mm (approximately 24 gauge)
• 0.7 mm (approximately 22 gauge)
• 1.0 mm (approximately 20 gauge)
• 1.2 mm (approximately 18 gauge)
• 1.5 mm (approximately 16 gauge)

Note: The gauge (Gauge or GA) typically inversely relates to the thickness in wires, meaning a higher gauge number indicates a thinner wire.

Material Specifications
The type of stainless steel used can affect the netting's overall performance in specific environments.

Common Stainless Steel Grades:

• 304: Known for good corrosion resistance and weldability.
• 316: Offers superior corrosion resistance against chlorides (like salt).
• 304L and 316L: Lower carbon variations that provide even better weldability and corrosion resistance after welding.
