Maximum Recommended Tension Strength
The values shown in the above figure are the recommended maximum tension values when a screen mesh is stretched with a mechanical screen mesh stretching device (Size: 1,000 mm x 1,200 mm). Tension values are affected by various factors, such as the type and drive system of the screen mesh stretching device, as well as the mechanical,pneumatic, hydraulic, and screen mesh stretching conditions.
The tension values in the above figure are for reference only and do not guarantee the tensions.
