Understanding how to read/ write a mesh spec using the example B-72-75-14-16.

• The LETTER represents the type of belt. In this case, “B” stands for Balanced Weave
• The FIRST NUMBER in the spec represents the number of spiral loops across 12″ of width. In this case, there are 72 spiral loops across 12″ of width.
• The SECOND NUMBER in the spec is the number of cross rods in a foot of length. In this example, there are 75 cross rods in a foot of length.
• The THIRD NUMBER, 14, indicates the gauge/wire diameter of the cross rods. 14=0.080″
• The FOURTH NUMBER, 16, indicates the gauge/wire diameter of the spirals. 16=0.062″
• When there are ONLY three numbers in the spec, the third number indicates that the gauge/wire diameter of both the cross rods and the spirals is the same.
