The percent open area in mesh and perforated relates to the amount of flow that will go through the mesh or perforated. The higher the percentage of open area, the more something will flow through the mesh or perforated. Another way to think about it is if a product has 40% open area, it means that 60% of that product is metal or solid. You can have mesh with small holes that has a larger percent open area than mesh with larger holes e.g. a 20 x 20 mesh x .016&#; dia wire has a .034&#; x .034&#; square clear opening with 46.2% open area and a 6 x 6 mesh x .062&#; dia wire has a .104&#; x .104&#; square clear opening (much larger holes) with a 38.9% open area (smaller open area).

Mathematically (for square mesh) it is mesh count squared multiplied by clear opening squared multiplied by 100 e.g. the percent opening of a 20 x 20 mesh x .016&#; dia wire is: 20^2 x .034^2 x 100 = 46.24% open area.
