Expanded Metal Sizes Chart: Complete Standard & Custom Dimensions
ANPING METAL MESH – Professional Metal Mesh Manufacturing Since 2005
Expanded metal sizes chart provides engineers, contractors, fabricators, and designers with quick access to standard expanded metal dimensions, including diamond openings, strand widths, sheet sizes, thicknesses, and weight specifications. Our complete reference chart covers all industrial and architectural grades for global projects.
As a leading manufacturer based in Anping County – the global Wire Mesh Capital – we produce expanded metal in full standard sizes and fully custom dimensions. Our expanded metal sizes chart is designed to help you select the perfect product for facade panels, flooring, guards, filtration, and fabrication applications.
Why Use an Expanded Metal Sizes Chart?
An accurate expanded metal sizes chart is essential for project planning, material selection, cost estimation, and design compliance. It eliminates guesswork and ensures you order the correct dimensions for strength, fit, and performance.
Our expanded metal sizes chart includes all key parameters: SWD (short way diamond), LWD (long way diamond), strand width, material thickness, standard sheet size, and recommended applications. This allows you to compare options and make informed decisions quickly.
All data in our chart follows international standards (ASTM, EN, JIS) and reflects actual production dimensions from our expanded metal production lines.
Key Terms in Expanded Metal Sizes Chart
Before using the chart, understand these critical dimensions:
- SWD (Short Way Diamond): Short diagonal of the diamond opening (mm/inch)
- LWD (Long Way Diamond): Long diagonal of the diamond opening (mm/inch)
- Strand Width (W): Width of the metal strip (mm/inch)
- Thickness (T): Original metal sheet thickness (mm/inch)
- Standard Sheet Size: 4’×8’ (1220×2440mm) – most common industrial size
- Raised / Flattened: Surface finish type
