NOTES:
1) EAR 15728 samples are very preliminary parts, intended to allow the customer to perform
their own testing in order to get an idea of the general characteristics of knitted wire mesh.
Factors such as housing dimensions and compression speed will affect performance.
The non-linear compression / recovery characteristics of wire mesh is expected to be suitable for
their application.
2) Compression tests performed using a test fixture (similar to a hollow round die) with a 4.0 in ID
barrel and a 1.5 in OD pin. Crosshead speed = 1.0 in/min.
3) Samples for EAR 15728 were made using 4 pieces of crimped mesh (crimped length =13.75 in each)
from 56-0510-0990 / Honda 25176001. This mesh is 4.5 in wide after crimping.
The mesh pieces were wound on a 1.5 in diameter mandrel (end to end as if they were 1
continuous piece of mesh), and the outside 3 layers (wraps) of mesh were welded in 2 places.
These samples were not pressed, only wound and welded.
(Samples were fabricated from production mesh, which Metex had in stock.)
4) EAR 15728 samples (quantity = 2): OD: snug fit into a 4.0 in ID housing.
