    Expanded metals are specified using measurements of the short way of mesh (SWM) and long way of mesh (LWM) in millimeters. The openings allow for ventilation and visibility while providing structural support without welding. Expanded metals are lighter than sheet metal but stronger, making them suitable for walkways, security fences, and industrial applications where rigidity and ventilation are required.

    SWM Short way of mesh LWM Long way of mesh

    SWO Short way of opening LWO Long way of opening

    S: SWM Short of SWM L: LWM Long of LWM

    Product Specification
    Expanded metals is specified first with SWM (Short Way of Mesh) followed by LWM (Long Way of Mesh). The reference number is expressed in four or five digits. The first two digits indicate the thickness of metal and the remaining digits denote strand width. In both cases, the digits are multiplied by 0.1 factor to arrive at the actual dimension in millimetres. Example: Ref No BMM 3060

    The intact knuckles provides structural support for loading, suitable for with standing stress and support weight better than joining or welding process. As there are no joints or welds, it distributes loads evenly over wider area. The open mesh design allows passage of light, air and sound; used for screen mesh, ventilation and security screen in many industrial buildings. Lighter in weight yet stronger than steel sheet, thus economical applications for walkway platform, security fencing, machine guards, racking etc. Expanded mesh does not fray or unravel when cut or left unframed; ensures high degree of security and protection for security prisons, military installation, bank vaults and high-security fencing. The anti-skid surface safety and grip suitable for stairtreads, rugged maintenance floor, gratings and catwalks for factories, shipyards and oil refineries.

    3 Mesh opening = 42mm (SWM) X 115mm (LWM) Thickness = 30 X 0.1 = 3mm Strand = 60 X 0.1 = 6mm Note: The LWM can be precise whilst the SWM dimension is approximate subject to some tolerance varies according to thickness and strand width of the mesh. 4

    Expanded Metals and Its Properties


    5 The unique feature of expanded metals is that the mesh is formed from the same piece of metal. The knuckles where the strand joints create some inherent properties of expanded metals:
