T-304/316 2" x 4" Opening Stainless Steel Welded Wire Mesh for Protection
Welded wire mesh specifications are commonly used in a wide array of industrial and non-industrial applications, including animal caging, critter and varmint control, agricultural use, air vents, basket fabrication, food applications, aviary and bird screen, industrial separation fan and machine guards, security retention, basket fabrication, industrial separation and soffit screens.
Stainless steel welded wire mesh is an extremely popular and versatile item that many different customers use for many different applications. Our company specializes in supplying high quality stainless steel welded wire mesh.
We can produce stainless steel welded wire mesh with apertures ranging from 4 inches to 1/4 inches. The following is the data about the 2" x 4" Mesh stainless steel welded wire mesh:
Mesh | Construction Type | Wire Diameter | Width of Opening | % of Open Area | Weight |
2" x 4" Mesh | Welded | 2 x 4 in | 1.895 x 3.895 in | 92.00 % | 0.270 lb/ft² |
We mainly provide stainless steel welded wire mesh made of stainless steel 304, 316, and 201. Among them, T-304 and T-316 are the two most important materials.

T-304 is the basic stainless alloy, containing 18 percent chromium and 8 percent nickel. It's not as corrosion resistant as T-316, but it's acceptable (and more affordable) for most uses, unless otherwise specified.
Although it melts at 2,600 degrees F (1430 degrees C), it’s best for use at 1450 degrees F (790 degrees C) for continuous service and 1650 degrees F (900 C) for intermediate service. Its uses include sorting and screening of abrasives, liquids, powders and other solids.

T-316is a special stainless alloy, which contains 18 percent chromium and 10 percent nickel, as well as 2 percent molybdenum. This combination enables the mesh to resist corrosion from salts, acids, and seawater.
T-316 melts at 2500 degrees F (1375 C), but its maximum recommended temperature for continuous service is 1500 degrees F. (815 C) and is useful for intermediate service up to 1650 degrees F (900 C). Its uses include processing oils and foods, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
