Space Cloth: With a rule, check the distance from the inner edges of two adjacent, parallel wires.

Coarse Mesh Cloth: Use a rule to count the openings in one linear inch, starting at the center of any wire.

Medium Mesh Cloth: Beginning about 20 mesh, use a counting glass to count the openings per linear inch from wire center to center both horizontally and vertically ( or count openings in 1/4 inch slot and multiply by four).

Wire Diameter: Always check with a micrometer caliper. Measure both Warp and Shute. Use a magnifying glass to see if wires are parallel (both Warp and Shute). Check quality of crimping.
