Perforated sheets: what are they?
A perforated sheet metal is a sheet of metal that is punched or stamped to create holes through it with the help of a machine. These sheets are also known as perforated plates or perforated screens. They are commonly made of aluminum, stainless steel, and cold-rolled steel. The size, width, pattern, and characteristics of the perforated sheet can be used to identify it.
In addition to controlling air and liquid passages through enclosures, it can also control sound passages.
What are the benefits of enclosure ventilation?
Ventilation is necessary for any enclosure containing electronics, as it generates heat which can be dangerous if not properly managed. To achieve this, custom cutouts in the enclosure can help control the number, shape and positions of them. However, the effort is often substantial to make a large number of holes – despite this, however, there may not be a satisfactory outcome.
Ventilation and perforated sheet
With perforated sheet metal, you can save energy and time as well as invest less money. It has hundreds of tiny holes built in. On the other hand, laser cutting these tiny holes would be too expensive.
No matter whether the sheet is made of aluminum or cold-rolled steel, it would effectively ventilate an enclosure. The sheet can be attached to an enclosure with welding or fasteners.
Finished products
You can easily customize your perform sheet by adding a finish. If you’re using aluminium perform material, you can use it without any finish or add a grained finish with it. You can also anodize and powdercoat it with a stock color.
In case you are not fond of welding, stainless steel fasteners will provide you with the material compatibility you need for perfect ventilation.
Cold-rolled steel perforated material should not be left unfinished, as it will rust over time. You can powder coat it. If you don’t like the idea of welding, you can use zinc-plated fasteners to mount your perforated sheet.
