One of the types of steel assortment PVL sheet has the widest application. It is made from rolled hot-rolled or cold-rolled steel of various types and grades, or finished sheet material. The steel sheet is punched in a checkerboard pattern, then pulled out and passed through pressing rolls. This technological process adds strength to the finished product, it loses up to 80% of the initial mass, the surface becomes smoother and smoother, the texture of the mesh disappears, the cells acquire a certain shape.
The material for the production of expanded metal sheet is galvanized stainless steel, non-ferrous metals: copper, brass, aluminum. Depending on the material and type of rolled steel, the PVL sheet can have a thickness of 0.7 to 6 mm. The product is manufactured in accordance with TU 36. 26.11-5-89; TU 27.1-25484714-001 .
Features of the sheet of expanded metal
A feature of the expanded metal sheet is a relatively low weight with large dimensions, the cost of the product is lower in comparison with similar materials, this justifies its use in many industries.
The cellular structure contributes to its self-cleaning from debris and snow, thanks to the cells, the sheet has a non-slip surface, this makes it possible to use it in the construction of flights of stairs, spans, steps, walkways installed in open spaces in the oil and gas industry at power plants and other facilities. >
The mesh structure reduces wind load, which makes it possible to use the product in the construction of fences and fences installed in open spaces.
This material is used in the creation of storm sewers, ventilation systems, sealing of inspection windows in agricultural machinery and equipment.
In construction PVL sheet is used as a reinforcing material on which a layer of plaster is applied. It is also often needed when screening bulk materials.
Strength, ability to self-cleaning, anti-corrosion of a sheet of expanded metal made of stainless steel makes it possible to use this product in the manufacture of benches installed in parks, squares and gardens .
The same product is used in the design of the interiors of entertainment and public institutions. Wall panels with correctly installed lighting give the room a certain color and create comfort in it.
