Wire Cloth

Standard Weaves

This type is most commonly used. Each warp wire passes alternately over and under shute wires at right angles, and vice-versa. Openings are square and wire sizes are the same in warp and shute.

This type is similiar to plain, except that shute wires pass alternatively over and under two warp wires (instead of one) in a staggered fashion. Very fine meshes can be woven more readily in twilled weave than in plain.

Dutch Weaves

This type is a filter cloth construction made in the same way as plain weave, except that the shute wires are "driven up" to give a tighter woven cloth with minute openings.
