About knitted wire mesh
Knitted wire mesh is a highly adaptable and configurable material offering superior functionality in a variety of
applications. Knitted in a circular pattern resembling a tube sock, its interlocking-loop construction gives it
tremendous strength and resiliency while allowing it to be pliable and to conform to almost any size, shape or
density requirements. Because it can be made from any metal, plastic or fiberglass thread or wire, its physical
characteristics can be tailored and tweaked to meet any operating environment requirements.
Producing knitted mesh
After wire drawing, a multi-step process that stretches raw wire rod into fine or finished diameters, wire is
converted into a tube of knitted wire mesh on a circular machine. Unlike other mesh-making processes such
as weaving, the cylindrical, interlocking-loop structure found in knitted wire mesh gives it tremendous flexibility
and strength. Whereas woven wire mesh is locked into a rigid, square pattern and does not tolerate some
types of motion, knitted wire mesh’s interlocking-loops move with each other, giving it unique flexibility.

After it is produced, knitted wire mesh can be processed in a number of different ways. For some applications,
such as catalytic converter knitted wire mesh supports, flattening mesh to a specific thickness and then
crimping it provide a certain amount of spring back and prescribed holding force. For other applications, such
as breathers and filters, lengths of knitted wire mesh are pressed into shapes that yield specific
densities. Additional finished goods processing include over-knitting (adding an additional layer of knitted wire
mesh) and co-knitting (making knitted wire mesh with more than one type of wire).
