Calculate Collapse Strength of Continuous Slot Screen

Input
Width of wire (See Table 1 Below ) inches mm
Wire height  (See Table 1 Below ) inches mm
Minor base width (See Table 1 Below ) inches mm
Mean diameter of screen (See Table 2 Below) inches mm
Slot width of screen inches mm
Result
Theoretical Collapse Strength  
of Continuous Slot Screen  		 psi  /   kg/cm2
