Perforated Sheet

16 SWG PREFORATED SHEET ø7 AT 9 CRS

16 (standard wire) gauge cold rolled steel with 7 unit diameter holes spaced 9 units apart.

This is a WAG. (Wild as* guess)

Next WAG: 7 and 9 are probably millimeters.

(Whether square or triangular array seems not to be specified.)

What's 16 Ga. in mm? 1.5?

Pretty close. Is this what we call hybrid technology?

1.6 mm is the usual approximation

For future reference

Sec. 206. Standard gauge for sheet and plate iron and steel

For the purpose of securing uniformity the following is established as the only standard gauge for sheet and plate iron and steel in the United States of America, namely:

Thanks.

But^_out, wingman1985 is in China. And who knows where the drawing note came from. And who knows where the product is headed.

So, we could have something designed in India, for an American client, that is to be manufactured in China for shipment to Brazil that will be serviced by Mexican labor.

16 SWG PREFORATED SHEET ø7 AT 9 CRS是什么意思啊?

START-------------------------------------

The translation is :

Hey guys:

Translation needed here(manufacture to drawing received)

what does 16 SWG PREFORATED SHEET ø7 AT 9 CRS mean here?

--------------------------------------END

BTW: DO you have a professional saying for "manufacture to drawing received"?

Thanks

But^_Lyn, _{I was just trying to post a "non-WAG"}

It's actually interesting if it is Ø7mm x 9mm pitch, because there seems nothing 'stock' between 7.94 (5/16") x 9.55 (3/8") and 6.35 (1/4") x 8.5 (43/128" ??)

I don't Know.

I responded to WM1985's question in the next post, "build to print".

What would you say?

"make to drawing" - same deal/meaning - don't argue, just do it!

Question on my mind would be - if the recipient of said drawing is not a perforator by trade, (viz. not being conversant with the lingo), is the client wanting to pay the tooling and set up for a special/proprietary pattern the recipients OEM will charge? (and margin)

Or has the client just done a 'soft conversion*' of one of the standard patterns?

_{*or doesn't know how to measure}

And does the size/ distribution really matter? Assuming we have made correct interpretations.

It can if it's a % open area air/heat thing - or a sorting/grading/sizing thing - or a bolt to matrix/structure thing.

Same old story; not enough information to but WAG. ^{_{(luckily, I has tail)}}

And a GA to you, sir. Might also mention that the weight in the chart provided above will be reduced by the % of open area. I've bought a lot of perf, but never run into metric sized. Makes me wonder if some perforators "over there" might have different patterns than we find in our charts "over here".

Ah the Mystery that is China/Taiwan = "over there"? No idea having not sourced perf there. So far as I know the industry remains Imperial. 'Metric' is just a hard conversion in metric countries.

I think if you want 'specials' they do it on a CAD/CAM Peirce All. One hole at at time, as opposed to the gang presses. Fairly exorbitant.

"Build to Print" is fun. Especially that 18" column inside the 12" stand-pipe.

Stock sheet Ø7mm @9mm pitch. They do various sheet thicknesses & finishes and straight or staggered patterns.

Fancy that - live and learn.

Good table, applies to carbon steel and aluminum. Stainless steel gauges are slightly thinner.

Good table. Is there any standard based entirely on metric?

I think the Metric Standards are.

I have to wonder if the CRS could be "centers", instead of Cold rolled steel? Pattern would generally be described as staggered or straight pitch.

I agree with the others. In addition, CRS = Cold Rolled Steel (another WAG).

My first thought was "cross section" Don't know why
