What is mesh?
Mesh,also called mesh count, is the number of openings in a linear inch measured from the center of one wire to a point one inch distant. To determine the mesh, count the number of openings from the center of any one wire to the center of a parallel wire one inch away.
To measure coarse mesh simply lay a ruler on it and count the number of openings along a one inch length.To measure finer meshes a mesh counter or optical comparator may be needed.

How will you ship my order?
Unless you specify a carrier, we will choose the best carrier based upon the weight, the urgency, product and destination.

Contact us with your special requirements.

What is a micron and how big is it?
It is a unit of length in the metric system. One micron is equivalent to 0.00003937 of one inch.

I have no idea what mesh I need. How do I find it?
Our website contains considerable technical information and photographs to assist you and we will attempt to supply you with the wire mesh you specify. However, we cannot recommend a particular wire mesh for specialized applications. We need to be given a specific mesh description or sample in order to proceed. If you are still uncertain, we suggest that you contact an engineering consultant in your field. Another possibility would be for you to purchase samples from us to determine their suitability.

What is the difference between woven and welded mesh?
Woven mesh is produced by the process of weaving, that is, by passing wires alternately over and under each other.
Welded mesh is a grid formed of wires that are fused together at their junctions. It is produced on automatic welding looms by accurately positioning the short (weft) wires over the long (warp) wires and spot welding their intersections (not over and under, as in ordinary weaving).

Does LOONG just sell to large companies?
LOONG Inc. is a medium sized company and has a wide customer base that includes both small end users and large companies.

I want to sift or size a solid. What kind of mesh should I use?
Sifting and sizing is generally done using a plain square weave woven mesh or a welded stainless mesh. Archeological digs have used our galvanized meshes for sifting purposes. Twilled weaves are not suitable for sizing or sifting because they do not have straight through holes.
