DESCRIPTION

3/4 #9 flattened expanded metal is a sheet material with a diamond pattern of openings that are made of steel, aluminum, or stainless steel. The numbers in the name indicate the metal’s dimension and gauge, with the first number representing the nominal dimension and the second number representing the gauge or weight per 100 square feet.

Here are some characteristics of 3/4 #9 flattened expanded metal:

  • Thickness: 0.119 in
  • Diamond opening: 0.562 in the short way (SWO) and 1.697 in the long way (LWO)
  • Sheet size: 4 ft x 8 ft, but other sizes are available
  • Material: Can be made of steel, aluminum, or stainless steel
  • Weight: About 5% lighter than standard expanded metal because it’s thinner, flatter, and wider/longer
  • Applications: Air filtration, architectural paneling, baskets, ceiling tiles, building facades, fencing, filters, grills, guard screens, security partitions, and more

Expanded Metal Orientation Notice:

Expanded metal sheets are manufactured from standard 48″ × 96″ sheets with the diamonds running in the 96″ direction (Long Way of Diamond / LWD).Because smaller pieces are cut from these master sheets, the diamond orientation on cut-to-size pieces may vary depending on the final dimensions. For example, sizes such as 12″ × 48″, 24″ × 48″, and 36″ × 48″ will typically have the diamonds running across the width rather than the length of the piece. If a specific diamond orientation is required for your project, please contact us before placing your order so we can verify availability and orientation requirements.

* Prices are subject to change without notice due to fluctuations in the metals market. | All “Value Length” and “Value Pack” item measurements are subject to standard mill tolerances. | Products may be manufactured several thousandths of an inch over or under the stated dimensions and still be within acceptable mill tolerances. All bar, tube, structural, pipe, sheet, plate, and similar products sold on our website are custom cut to the lengths and sizes selected by the customer at the time of purchase. These are not stocked as pre-cut items. Because each order is cut specifically to customer specifications, all cut materials are considered custom products and are not eligible for cancellation, return, or exchange once production has begun. Our standard cutting tolerances are:

  • Length: +0.125″ / -0.062″
  • During the cutting process, the saw blade removes approximately 1/16″ (kerf) of material. This is a normal part of the manufacturing process and is already included within the stated cutting tolerances.
