Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as flat-rolled sheet before expansion
Unexpanded steel sheets classify by thickness and processing.
If finer mesh qualifying as woven wire cloth
Wire-based expanded products may be 'wire cloth' if dimensions fit.
If used as machinery guards rather than structures
Protective screens for equipment shift from structural use.
