Hi to all.

Can someone explain me how to calculate the surface of 10x10cm -- 1mm
thick wire mesh. Its something like this :

The space between wires is 5 x 7 mm.

Thank you in advance


Perhaps manufacturer may have detailed spec's.

Otherwise, probably easiest to estimate from weight/unit area and the
open area percentage that is generally available. To first
approximation that and the individual strand diameter should get
reasonably close.
