Stainless steel wire mesh is made from high-quality stainless steel wire under specific high-temperature processing conditions. The wire is drawn to a specified diameter using a wire drawing machine, and then woven in a constant-temperature, dust-free, and clean workshop using a weaving machine. Features: Precise structure, uniform mesh, good filtration accuracy, wear resistance, high-temperature resistance, strong acid resistance, and corrosion resistance.
Applications:
1. Used for screening and filtration in acidic and alkaline environments.
2. Used as mud screen in the petroleum industry, as filter screen in the chemical and fiber industries, and as pickling screen in the electroplating industry.
3. Used in industrial and construction industries for screening sand particles and filtering liquids and gases.
Main parameters of stainless steel wire mesh:
1. Material: Stainless steel wire, nickel wire, brass wire. Stainless steel wire materials include: SUS302, 304, 304L, 316, 316L, etc.
2.Mesh/Mesh Counts: The number of openings per inch is called the mesh count. The mesh count reflects the density of the mesh openings.
Generally, stainless steel mesh with a mesh size higher than 80 is called fine mesh, and mesh size lower than 80 is called coarse mesh.
3. Wire Diameter, unit: millimeters, wire gauge, inches.
Divided into warp and weft wires. Warp wire: (Warp/Line Wire), Weft wire: (Cross wire/Weft wire/Shut wire). For example: 80x80x0.12mm means 80 mesh, wire diameter 0.12mm. It can also be written as: 80x80xAWG40x1mx30m. 80 refers to the mesh count, wire diameter AWG40, width: 1m, length: 30m.
4.Aperture/Mesh Size/Opening Size, unit: millimeters, inches.
5. Weaving Type
1) Plain Weave (PW): Each warp thread crosses over and under each weft thread. The warp and weft threads are the same thickness, and the warp and weft threads form a 90-degree angle.
2) Twill Weave (TW): Each warp thread crosses over and under every two weft threads, and each weft thread crosses over and under every two warp threads.
3) Dutch Weave (DW): Also called a mat weave, Dutch weave has different warp and weft diameters and mesh counts. It is characterized by sparse warp and dense weft, with thicker warp and thinner weft. The warp threads run along the length, and the weft threads run along the width. Dutch weave is further divided into plain weave and twill weave. 4) Twill Weave: Each warp yarn crosses over every two weft yarns, and each weft yarn crosses over every two warp yarns.
5) Double-Thread Dutch Weave: Similar to twill Dutch weave, this weave has two weft yarns that overlap tightly with the warp yarns. This type of fabric is often used for micron-level filtration.
6) Five-Harness Weave: This weave uses several separate yarns for both warp and weft. This type of weave provides a stronger and more durable stainless steel wire fabric compared to twill weave.
6. With or Without Selvage/Sdge
Shuttle Looms: Closed selvage (round-ended) is more common for looms with mesh counts below 20.
Shuttleless Looms: Flash selvage is more common for looms with mesh counts above 20.
Differences between shuttle looms and shuttleless looms: Shuttle looms use shuttles to drive the weft threads, while shuttleless looms use rapiers to pull the weft threads. Width: Unit: meter, inch, foot.
7. Length: Unit: meter, inch, foot.
8. Common widths and lengths of stainless steel wire mesh:
Common widths: 3', 4', 5', 6': 0.914m, 1.22m, 1.524m, 1.83m
Length: 100' = 30.5m
9. Quantity: Generally by square meter or square meter/roll.
10. Packing: Typical packaging includes an inner paper tube, an outer moisture-proof paper (kraft paper) + plastic sheet + woven bag + bubble wrap (optional for 200 mesh and above).
