Frequently asked questions
Common questions about ACORN from 3G Electric.
What are the specifications of ACORN EPDM O-rings?
ACORN EPDM O-rings are round seals with a 1/16 inch cross-section and 5/8 inch inner diameter. They have a durometer of 70A and dash number 017. The operating temperature range is -60°F to 257°F. These O-rings are not FDA compliant and are suitable for both static and dynamic sealing applications. They are sold in packs of 10. The EPDM material provides resistance to water, steam, and many chemicals, making them appropriate for a variety of industrial sealing needs.
What sizes of ACORN welded wire mesh are available?
ACORN welded wire mesh is available in multiple sizes. Common specifications include a 1/2 x 1/2 inch mesh size with 0.5 inch openings and 87% open area. Roll dimensions include 100 ft length x 36 in width and 50 ft length x 48 in width. The mesh is made of high-strength carbon steel with a galvanized coating for corrosion resistance. This type of mesh is used for industrial screening, filtration, guarding, and reinforcement. The welded construction provides a rigid and durable structure suitable for demanding applications.
What are the dimensions of ACORN poultry netting (chicken wire)?
ACORN poultry netting, often called chicken wire, is made of 20-gauge steel in a hexagonal mesh pattern. Mesh sizes are either 1 inch or 2 inches. Heights range from 24 inches to 72 inches, and all rolls are 150 feet long. Specific models include 24 in x 150 ft, 48 in x 150 ft, 60 in x 150 ft, and 72 in x 150 ft, with either 1 in or 2 in mesh. This netting is used for enclosing poultry, garden protection, light fencing, and small animal containment. The hexagonal shape provides flexibility and strength for agricultural and garden applications.
Is ACORN wire mesh suitable for outdoor use?
ACORN welded wire mesh with galvanized coating is designed for outdoor use due to its corrosion resistance. The galvanized coating protects the carbon steel core from rust and environmental exposure. ACORN poultry netting is made of steel and is typically used in outdoor applications such as garden fencing and animal enclosures, though it may require additional protection in highly corrosive environments. For specific outdoor applications, consider the coating and material compatibility with the surrounding conditions. 3G Electric can provide further details on the expected service life and maintenance requirements.
What is the open area of ACORN welded wire mesh?
ACORN welded wire mesh with a 1/2 x 1/2 inch mesh size has an open area of 87%. This high open area allows for efficient flow of air, light, and liquids, making it suitable for screening and filtration applications. The 0.5 inch opening size provides a balance between strength and permeability. The mesh is available in rolls of 100 ft x 36 in and 50 ft x 48 in. The welded construction ensures that the openings remain uniform and stable under load. This specification is important for applications where flow rate and particle retention are critical.
