Card Clothing Counts

In the tables below you will find:

Cont.counts in round, biconvex and ovoid wire
The number of points/inch² for each of the count numbers
Comparison figure for resistance, against the different count numbers
The dimensions in mm. of the several wire sizes in round, biconvex and ovoid wire.

The figures in the column resistance are for comparison i.e. the resistance rate of bending to the corresponding diameters.
