What Is 3/4 #13 Expanded Metal?

3/4 #13 expanded metal is a standard raised expanded metal pattern defined by short way diamond (SWD) and long way diamond (LWD) dimensions, strand width, and metal thickness. The “3/4” refers to the **long way of diamond (LWD) = 3/4 inch (19.05mm)**, and the “#13” refers to the **standard gauge thickness and strand design** used in the US expanded metal industry.

This pattern is widely specified in engineering drawings, construction projects, and industrial applications because it offers an ideal balance of structural strength, open area for ventilation/visibility, and light weight. It is one of the most commonly ordered standard sizes for both functional and decorative uses.

Unlike small hole expanded metal mesh, 3/4 #13 expanded metal provides moderate openness while maintaining excellent load-bearing performance, making it suitable for platforms, fencing, guards, panels, and facades.

Official 3/4 #13 Expanded Metal Specifications

These specifications are universal for 3/4 #13 expanded metal in the US and Canadian markets, ensuring compatibility with existing frames, mounting systems, and engineering designs. Our production CNC machines maintain strict tolerance control, so every sheet matches these exact dimensions.

We offer both **raised (standard)** and **flattened** finishes for 3/4 #13 expanded metal, supporting different functional and aesthetic requirements across industries.

Materials Available for 3/4 #13 Expanded Metal

We produce 3/4 #13 expanded metal in four high-performance materials to suit indoor, outdoor, corrosive, and structural applications. All materials meet international quality standards and are available in standard 4×8 ft sheets or custom sizes.

1. Carbon Steel (Standard)
Cost-effective, high structural strength, ideal for industrial guarding, platforms, racks, and interior applications. Can be painted or coated for outdoor use.

2. Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel
Corrosion-resistant zinc coating, perfect for outdoor fencing, construction barriers, landscaping, and marine environments. The most popular choice for 3/4 #13 expanded metal.

3. Aluminum Alloy
Lightweight, rust-proof, and aesthetically pleasing. Used for architectural panels, signage, expanded metal mesh facade systems, and interior design elements.

4. 304 & 316 Stainless Steel
Hygienic, chemical-resistant, and extremely durable. Suitable for food processing, medical facilities, coastal marine projects, and high-end architectural applications. Stainless steel expanded metal offers lifelong performance.

Weight Chart: 3/4 #13 Expanded Metal

Accurate weight data is critical for shipping cost calculation, structural engineering, and load-bearing design. Our 3/4 #13 expanded metal weight chart follows ASTM standard calculations and actual production measurements, ensuring complete reliability for your project planning.

Common Applications of 3/4 #13 Expanded Metal

3/4 #13 expanded metal is an extremely versatile pattern used across thousands of commercial, industrial, and architectural projects worldwide. Its balanced design makes it suitable for both structural and decorative use.

Industrial & Safety Uses
Machine guarding, safety barriers, equipment enclosures, walkway panels, racking systems, and machinery protection screens. The 58% open area allows ventilation and visibility while ensuring worker safety.

Construction & Building Uses
Interior wall partitions, ceiling panels, stair railing infill panels, security fencing, window guards, and concrete reinforcement screens. The standard size fits most construction framing systems.

Architectural & Decorative Uses
Building facade cladding, exterior sunscreens, interior feature walls, decorative partitions, signage backgrounds, and storefront design. Flattened 3/4 #13 expanded metal provides a modern, industrial aesthetic.

Outdoor & Landscape Uses
Garden fencing, trellises, landscape barriers, drainage grates, and outdoor furniture. Galvanized and stainless steel versions withstand harsh weather conditions.

Finishes for 3/4 #13 Expanded Metal

We offer multiple surface finishes to enhance durability, corrosion resistance, and appearance for 3/4 #13 expanded metal, tailored to your application environment and aesthetic needs:

Raised (Standard Finish) – Default production finish, provides maximum strength and rigidity, ideal for structural and industrial applications.
Flattened Finish – Cold-rolled smooth surface, better for decorative and architectural use, easier to clean and handle.
Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) – Outdoor corrosion protection, long service life in humid and coastal environments.
Powder Coated – Custom colors (black, white, gray, etc.) for architectural and decorative projects.
Anodized (Aluminum Only) – Enhanced corrosion resistance and metallic finish for aluminum expanded metal.

All finishes are applied in-house at our Anping expanded metal factory, ensuring consistent quality and cost efficiency without third-party markup.
