Qty of RODS in 12" length |
Example: B-36-24-12 B = Balance Weave mesh style 36 = 36 spiral openings in 12" 24 = 24 rods in 12" 12 = 12 gauge rod, 12 gauge spiral |
Example: U-42-32-12/14 U = Universal Weave mesh style 42 = 42 spiral openings in 12" 32 = 32 rods in 12" 12 gauge rod/14 gauge Spiral |
Example: CB3-53-102-18 CB = Cordweave Style Mesh 53 = 53 spirals in 12" 102 = 102 rods in 12" 18 = 18 gauge rod, 18 gauge spiral |
Wire Gauge of Rod |
Wire Gauge of Spiral |
Follow these guidelines to identify your mesh designation: A. Letter(s) indicating the Mesh Style you have ie B,PB,RR,U,DB,IB B. Indicates the amount of spirals (or loops) in 12" across width. C. Indicates the amount of rods in 12" length of the belt. D. Indicates the wire ga of the rods / followed by the wire ga of the spiral. (if wire gauge is the same for the spiral and cross rod drop the second one). |

B: Balance PB: Precision Balance Construction: Alternating Left & Right Spirals, Crimped Cross Rod. |
C: Cordweave CB: Compound Balance Construction:Right & Left Spirals,condensed into a group of 4 or 5, with a crimped rod inserted thru the group of spirals |
U: Universal DB:Double Balance Construction: Interlaced, alternated Left & Right Spirals, with Straight Cross Rod.or Crimped Cross Rod |
RR: Rod Reinforced Construction: Same as conventional with rod inserted thru. |
S: Single or Conventional Construction: Spiral turned into above spiral, no cross rod |

How to Measure Cordweave, Compound Balance Weave, Baking Bands |
A. Letter(s) indicating the Mesh Style you have Cordweave is always CB or C B. Indicates the amount of spirals (or loops) in 12" across width. Cordweave belts consist of spirals tighly seated together. Identify one Spiral (will be lined up evenly across the belt and count that one Only). See highlighed spiral above. C. Indicates the amount of rods in 12" down the length of the belt (see blue arrows above) D. Indicates the wire ga of the rods / followed by the wire ga of the spiral (Iif wire gauge is the same for the spiral and cross rod drop the second one). |
How to measure: Balance, Precision Balance, Improved Balance, Double Balance, Universal, and Rod Reinforced Conveyor Belts |
How to Measure Conventional Weave and Single Weave |
1. Place the ruler on a Diagonal (not straight across as with the other mesh styles) 2 Count the number of openings in 1" That will give you the Mesh Number. (above picture is a 4 mesh since it has 4 openings). 2. Measure the Wire Gauge. |
