Quality Control
Mesh Control
No roll of mesh leaves the weaving hall without being checked from end to end. This is where our own internal standards and all customer-specific requirements are applied. Any weaving faults, if these exist, are marked on the roll card and the rolls are then separated into different quality grades. This ensures total transparency, as no manufacturer can guarantee zero defect mesh, and especially not when producing mesh to the levels of fineness provided by our specifications. To maintain our strict standards, we test to a number of different parameters including:
- Aperture size
- Wire diameter
- Mesh thickness
- Mesh count
- Air permeability
- Light permeability
- Mechanical properties
- Hardness testing (Rockwell, Vickers)
- Tensile strength
- Bubble testing
- Angle of contact for coatings
- Colour measurement
- Shine measurement
- Rayl measurement
- ... and many more.
Additional tests and measurements can be carried out according to individual cusomter requirements.
To monitor fabricated meshes, we have our own laboratory, which supports and oversees the processes from a quality aspect.
All results are held in our ERP system, which gives us seamless backwards traceability from finished meshes to raw materials.
