Stainless steel cable netting, also known as X-TEND mesh or Webnet, uses strong DIN 1.4401/AISI 316 stainless steel cables. Workers swage these cables with tinned copper (type CX) or stainless steel (types CXE and CXS) clamps in a special process. This creates a flexible mesh structure that works well for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional uses. X-TEND keeps its shape forever and lasts a long time.
Workers make X-TEND from high-quality stainless steel cables (material: AISI316). They connect these cables using stainless steel ferrules through a special method. This forms a flexible structure for both flat and three-dimensional applications. X-TEND maintains its shape forever and requires little maintenance over its long lifetime.
Mesh geometry
- The X-Tend Mesh width (MW) refers to the distance from the centre of one ferrule to the centre of the next ferrule. The optimal mesh geometry with an opening angle of 60° is given when the mesh width and the distance between the ferrules’ centres along the mesh’s cables
- are equal. This results in the ideal tension of the mesh and is the mathematical basis for the quantity take-off.
- MW Mesh width (distance from center to center of ferrule) α Standard mesh opening 60 °
Conclusion
In summary, X-TEND® mesh is a versatile solution for indoor and outdoor use. Its flexibility, safety, durability, and aesthetics make it popular among architects and builders. It’s adaptable to various shapes and structures, ensuring reliability in projects like balustrades, fall protection, green walls, and animal enclosures. Whether enhancing building facades or ensuring safety in public areas, X-TEND® mesh excels in performance and functionality.
