Expanded Metal Terms

LWM Long Way Measurement. Dimension taken from the centre of one knuckle to the centre of the adjoining knuckle, measured along the long way of the diamond/prole (see diagrams). SWM Short Way Measurement. Dimension taken from the centre of one knuckle to the centre of the adjoining knuckle, measured along the short way of the diamond/prole (see diagrams). Strands & Knuckles Expanded metal is made up of strands & knuckles. Strands form the sides of the expanded metal opening and the knuckle is the intersection of two strands. Thickness The thickness of the parent sheet metal, which remains unchanged during the expanding process. Sheet Direction LWM x SWM (see diagrams below).

Non-standard Products
We have provided many specialpurpose expanded metals to suit unique applications. If you have a requirement that is not covered in this catalogue, please contact your nearest sales ofce (details on back cover) for further information.

Tolerances
All measurements specied are nominal and approximates only. Although every effort is made to ensure these dimensions are accurate, they are subject to standard industrial manufacturing tolerances.

Expanded metal sheets can be supplied in the following materials: >> Untreated mild steel >> Pre-galvanised steel >> Stainless steel (304 & 316) >> Aluminium >> Copper >> Brass >> Pre-painted steel

Finishes
Hot-Dip Galvanised: NEPEAN Building & Infrastructure has its own in-house galvanising plant, providing a 24-hour service. The hotdip galvanising process produces a durable, abrasion-resistant coating of metallic zinc and zinc-iron alloy layers metallurgically bonded to the steel base. This nish is not recommended for ne meshes, as they are prone to distortion and windowing effects. Hot-dip galvanising conforms to AS/ NZS4680:1999.

Fabricating Expanded Metal

Conventional sheet metal working techniques are used for fabricating expanded metal, including cutting, bending and welding.

1. The above tables are based on the XPM Expanded Metal Industry Standard 1001. 2. Load capacities given in the table are for Flormesh spanning the LWM direction over a clear span with every fourth strand welded to the support and a minimum landing of 25mm (preferred industry standard). 3. Uniform distributed load is the maximum load just prior to permanent deection (yield) of mesh. Permanent yield is span/500 or 0.80mm, whichever is greater.

4. Deections in the tables refer to uniform distributed loads causing a deection of 10mm or span/360, whichever is less. 5. Concentrated loads were applied through a 100mm diameter plate. They correspond to a localised deection of 10mm. 6. For large simple spans the load carrying capacity is generally governed by deection; for double and triple spans by uniform or concentrated loads. 7. A load of 102kg approximates to 1kN. A load of 102 kg/m2 approximates to 1 kPa.
