Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh – Plain, Twill, Dutch, and Specialized Weaves for Filtration and Screening
Mallas Wire Mesh Manufacturing Co. offers stainless steel woven wire mesh, including specifications, dimensions, weave, and usage. Our stainless steel wire mesh is made from high-grade SS304, SS316, or SS316L materials, ensuring superior corrosion resistance and durability. Common mesh sizes range from 2 mesh (10.9 mm opening) to 400 mesh (0.037 mm opening), with wire diameters from 0.02 mm to 2.0 mm. Available weaves include plain weave, twill weave, and Dutch weave for filtration, screening, and protection applications. It is widely used in industries such as petrochemical, food processing, mining, and construction for sieving, filtering, and reinforcement. Stainless steel woven mesh rolls and cut pieces can be customized in widths of 0.5 m to 2 m and lengths up to 30 m to meet different project requirements.
Type
- Plain Weave Stainless Steel Wire Mesh: Plain weave is the most common type, featuring one-over-one-under weaving. It offers uniform openings and high stability. Mesh sizes range from 1 mesh to 400 mesh (10 mm–0.037 mm openings). Suitable for filtration, screening, and architectural use.
- Twill Weave Stainless Steel Wire Mesh: In twill weave, each wire passes alternately over and under two wires, allowing thicker wires and finer mesh counts. It provides higher strength and better filtration precision, typically available from 20 mesh to 500 mesh.
- Plain Dutch Weave Stainless Steel Wire Mesh: This type combines coarse warp wires and fine weft wires to create dense, strong filtration layers. Mesh openings are very small, often between 0.02 mm–0.2 mm, ideal for high-pressure or fine particle filtration.
- Twill Dutch Weave Stainless Steel Wire Mesh: Featuring a twill interlacing pattern with differing warp and weft diameters, this mesh offers superior mechanical strength and filtration accuracy. It is commonly used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and hydraulic filtration systems.
- Five-Heddle Weave Stainless Steel Wire Mesh: This weave provides a smooth surface and excellent mechanical load resistance, with mesh counts around 12–80 mesh. It is used in petrochemical and industrial filtration where flow and durability are critical.
- Reverse Dutch Weave Stainless Steel Wire Mesh: Designed with finer warp wires and coarser weft wires, it delivers high strength and uniform flow distribution. Mesh openings are typically 0.02–0.05 mm, making it suitable for pressure and extrusion filters.
Specifications
- Material: SS304, SS304L, SS316, SS316L, and SS321.
- Mesh Count: 1 mesh to 400 mesh, providing openings from 10 mm down to 0.037 mm. Coarser meshes (1–10 mesh) are used for screening and structural purposes, while finer meshes (100–400 mesh) are suitable for filtration and sieving.
- Wire Diameter: 0.02 mm to 2.0 mm, depending on mesh density and application. Thicker wires are used in coarse mesh for strength, while finer wires are used in high-precision filtration.
- Opening Size (Aperture): The opening size, or clear space between wires, varies from 10 mm for 2 mesh to 0.037 mm for 400 mesh. This range allows precise control of particle separation and airflow.
- Mesh Roll Width: Standard roll widths are 0.5 m, 1 m, 1.2 m, 1.5 m, and 2 m, though custom widths can be produced upon request for industrial or architectural applications.
- Roll Length: Typical roll lengths range from 15 m to 30 m, providing flexibility for cutting, forming, or framing according to project requirements.
- Weave Type: Plain weave, twill weave, plain Dutch weave, twill Dutch weave, reverse Dutch weave, and five-heddle weave.
Applications by Mesh Size
- 1–20 mesh: Industrial screening, guards, and architectural panels
- 30–100 mesh: Particle separation and sieving
- 120–400 mesh: Precision filtration in chemical, pharmaceutical, and petroleum industries
Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Plain weave is the most commonly used weave. Each warp wire crosses alternately above and below each weft wire. Warp and weft wires generally have the same diameter.
Twill Weave Stainless Steel Wire Mesh is made by each weft wire passing alternately over two, and then under two successive warp wires and each warp wire passing alternately over
two and under two successive weft wires. It is possible to be used to allow a heavier than standard wire diameter.
