So you might feel cheated due to the difference.
Actually, this might not be a "cheating" from your supplier, it's a normal result after weaving.
In the weaving process, the warp wires and weft wires would bear strong stretching strength from the looms, so the wire diameter might be stretched to be thinner during the process.
MAISHI's production is generally based on ISO 9044.
In ISO 9044, the wire diameter inspection should be done before weaving, because the wire diameter may be altered slightly during the weaving process. (Page 2, term 3.2)
Besides ISO 9044, in ASTM E 2016 Standard Specification for Industrial Woven Wire Cloth, Page 8, term 5.1, there is a similar note to explain the wire diameter changing after weaving.
So, it's a normal result if the finished rolls' wire diameter is slightly thinner.
Of course, if the finished wire diameter is much thinner than your order request, you still need to check with your supplier about what happened.
We'll be more than happy to offer you further information about the quality standard and real production.
