KNITTED WIRE MESH
FOR
INSULATION BLANKETS,
COVERS, JACKETS

 

THE INVESTMENT PROTECTOR
Insulation materials and labor costs are increasingly more expensive. User warranty requirements are more demanding. Insulation blanket mesh is engineered to help you protect your investment of materials, labor and customer satisfaction.

FLEXIBILITY AND STRENGTH
The insulation media for blankets, covers or jackets is typically, a pliable, heat resistant material such as asbestos, fiberglass, ceramic fibers, etc. Although this material has high temperature resistance qualities, it does not have the physical qualities to:
Retain physical shape and strength
Protect from exterior abrasion
Support for lacing hooks and such devices

Because knitted mesh is made of metal it is the strongest insulation covering that can be used.

It supports continuous handling
It is resistant to vibration
It resists penetration of sharp object

KNITTED WIRE MESH AS A
COVERING MATERIAL

Knitted wire mesh is as its name implies. Wire knitted into a mesh structure in very much the same way as stockings or sweaters. It is in no way related to woven materials such as fly screen or chicken mesh.

The unique mechanical qualities of knitted wire creates a product with at least two way stretch. This is accomplished through the knitting process which produces a mesh of interlocking loops. These loops can move relative to each other in the same plane without distortion. This cannot be done with woven wire (fly screen) or chicken mesh.

FLEXIBILITY

Because of the knitted loop structure, the mesh covering has at least two-way stretch and is not stiffer than the insulation media it covers. Therefore, it is ideally suited to fitting around irregular curves and complex surfaces.

NOTE 1 - We also have other alloys available such as monel, 309SS etc., where applications are in corrosive or special atmospheres.

NOTE 2 - The common wire diameters used for insulating blankets are .008" and .011". Where greater strength is needed because of frequent removal, such as turbines or stress relieving blankets .011" is used. For less frequent removal .008" is used. For applications which involve temperature extremes such as furnaces, the .011" diameter is recommended to reduce the weakening caused by oxidation, or furnace atmosphere conditions.

NOTE 3 - The common density (openings/inch) used is 60, as it provides the optimum balance between large openings for economy yet small enough openings to prevent tufting. Other densities of 48, 76, 100 and 130 are available.

NOTE 4 - Insulating blanket mesh is made in widths of two-ply stocking from 1" to 43", however, most applications use widths of 12", 18", 24", 30" or 42".

HOW TO ORDER INSULATION BLANKET MESH
Specify metal alloy, wire diameter, density and width required, i.e. 304SS, .011", 60 den, 30" wide.
Standard materials are available for shipment within 24 hours, most nonstandard materials can be shipped within 5-8 working days.
