Discover KnitMesh Technologies‘ Sound Attenuation Mesh

KnitMesh Technologies’ Sound Attenuation Mesh is designed to reduce noise effectively in applications where high flow rates must be maintained. It is widely used in industrial, defence, and safety systems where reliable sound control is essential without restricting gas flow.

The unique knitted wire mesh structure makes it ideal for silencing gas flow in high-flow applications such as specialist fire extinguishers, air tools, pressure release systems, and gas exhausts. The open mesh design allows gases to pass freely while significantly reducing noise.

The exceptional formability of KnitMesh Technologies’ knitted wire mesh allows it to be shaped for difficult designs and tight installation spaces. Materials can be selected to optimise sound absorption and durability, and KnitMesh Technologies’ engineers work closely with customers to deliver tailored solutions for sound and vibration attenuation challenges.

Fire Extinguishers

 

In specialist fire extinguishers, Sound Attenuation Mesh is used to reduce the intense noise generated during rapid gas discharge. The knitted wire mesh allows high flow rates to pass through with minimal restriction while absorbing and diffracting sound energy.

Air Tools

 

Sound Attenuation Mesh is integrated into exhaust ports to reduce noise produced by high-velocity compressed air. The mesh dissipates sound energy as air exits the tool, lowering operating noise levels while maintaining efficient airflow.

Pressure Release Systems

 

In pressure release systems, Sound Attenuation Mesh is used to control noise generated during venting or pressure relief events. The knitted wire mesh manages high flow and sudden pressure changes, absorbing and dispersing sound energy to reduce harmful noise levels while ensuring reliable and safe pressure release.

Gas Exhausts

 

Sound Attenuation Mesh is installed within exhaust pathways to reduce noise caused by turbulent gas flow. Its open, formable structure allows effective sound reduction without increasing back pressure, making it suitable for compact, high-performance exhaust systems.

How Knitted Wire Mesh Absorbs Energy

Knitted wire mesh is a highly versatile material used in a variety of industries because of its ability to absorb energy. The unique nature of the material allows it to absorb energy in the form of heat, vibration, and sound, making it a popular choice for many different applications.

One way that knitted wire mesh absorbs energy is through heat transfer. Because the material is made up of interlocking loops of wire, it has a large surface area that can absorb heat from its surroundings. This makes it an ideal material for use in applications that generate a lot of heat, such as high-performance engines or electronic devices. By absorbing excess heat, knitted wire mesh helps to protect these components and prevent damage.

Another way that knitted wire mesh absorbs energy is through vibration. When an object vibrates, it gives off energy in the form of sound waves. Knitted wire mesh is a highly effective material for absorbing these sound waves, as the loops of wire help to dissipate the energy and reduce the amplitude of the vibrations. This makes it an ideal material for use in applications that require noise reduction, such as in automotive exhaust systems or industrial machinery.

Lastly, knitted wire mesh can also absorb energy in the form of sound waves themselves. When sound waves pass through the material, they encounter resistance from the interlocking loops of wire, which helps to dissipate the energy and reduce the volume of the sound. This makes knitted wire mesh a popular material for use in acoustic panels and other sound insulation applications.
