Expanded Metal Steel Plate / Expanded Metal Mesh, also known as Expanded Plate, is a metal sheet processed by cutting or slitting and then stretching it to form an interconnected mesh pattern. The openings are generally diamond-shaped and are formed from a single sheet of material without welding at each intersection.
This product has a thickness of 5.00 mm, a sheet size of 1.20 × 2.40 meters, and a weight of approximately 52 kilograms per sheet. This variant uses thicker and heavier material, making it suitable for applications that require a heavier-duty expanded metal specification compared to lighter and thinner types.
Product Specifications
- Long Way of Diamond / LWD: 75.00 mm
- Short Way of Diamond / SWD: 30.00 mm
- Width (W): 1.20 meters
- Length (L): 2.40 meters
- Thickness (t): 5.00 mm
- Weight: ±52.00 kg/sheet
- Opening Shape: Mesh / Diamond Pattern
LWD (Long Way of Diamond) indicates the opening dimension along the longer direction of the diamond pattern, while SWD (Short Way of Diamond) indicates the opening dimension along the shorter direction. LWD, SWD, thickness, and material type are important factors to consider when selecting expanded metal for a particular project.
Uses of 5 mm Expanded Metal
Expanded metal can be used for various applications such as fences and barriers, machine guards, panels, industrial racks, partitions, workshop applications, fabrication work, and various construction and industrial components.
Its open pattern allows air and light to pass through the sheet, making this material suitable for applications that require a combination of barrier function and ventilation.
When used for platforms, standing or walking surfaces, safety guards, or load-bearing components, the expanded metal specifications should be selected according to the design, supporting system, working load, and technical requirements of the project.
Advantages of Expanded Metal
Expanded metal is manufactured from a single sheet of material that is cut and stretched, creating an interconnected mesh pattern without requiring welding at each intersection. The material can also be cut and fabricated according to the required dimensions and shapes.
The 5 mm thickness can be selected for applications that require thicker expanded metal. However, product selection should not be based on thickness alone. The opening dimensions, weight, sheet size, and intended application should also be taken into consideration.
Various Types of Expanded Metal
Expanded metal is available in various types, including gridmesh, ornamesh, metal lath, balustrade mesh, fencing mesh, and security mesh. Each type has different patterns and applications, so the appropriate type should be selected according to the requirements of the project.
