Modern specifications usually comprise a sequential coating application of paints or alternatively paints applied over metal coatings to form a âduplexâ coating system. The protective paint systems usually consist of primer, undercoat(s) and finish coats.
Hardware cloth comes in 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-foot rollsâwith 3â² and 4â² being the most common â and in roll lengths anywhere from 5, 25, 50 to 100 feet. The mesh is made by weaving or welding steel wires together, then hot-dipping it in zinc (galvanizing it) to protect it from rust.
Mesh (scale) Mesh is a measurement of particle size often used in determining the particle-size distribution of a granular material. For example, a sample from a truckload of peanuts may be placed atop a mesh with 5 mm openings. When the mesh is shaken, small broken pieces and dust pass through the mesh while whole peanuts are retained on the mesh. A commercial peanut buyer might use a test like this to determine if a batch of peanuts has too many broken pieces.
