Stainless steel woven wire mesh is a versatile and durable material widely used across various industries. Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, this mesh offers excellent resistance to corrosion, heat, and wear, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor applications.
The primary material used in stainless steel woven wire mesh is, as the name suggests, stainless steel, which is known for its strength and longevity. The common grades utilized include 304 and 316, with 316 offering superior resistance to chlorides and harsh environments. Stainless steel woven mesh comes in various specifications, including different wire diameters and mesh openings, allowing customization for specific needs. Typical mesh sizes range from fine mesh of 10 microns to broader openings of over 100 mesh, catering to filtration and screening processes.
Stainless steel woven wire mesh is used in numerous applications. In the food and beverage industry, it’s essential for filtration and straining. In construction, it serves as reinforcement in concrete and as protective barriers. Additionally, it’s utilized in architectural designs for aesthetics and safety purposes. The mesh is also essential in the automotive industry for manufacturing screens and grilles.
One of the standout features of stainless steel woven wire mesh is its impressive lifespan. When maintained properly, it can last for several decades, making it a cost-effective solution for long-term applications. Its durability against the elements ensures that it remains effective and visually appealing over time.
In summary, stainless steel woven wire mesh combines material strength, adaptability in various specifications, diverse applications, and a long service life, making it an essential component in numerous industries.
Wire Diameter (mm) | Mesh Size (inches) | Open Area (%) | Corrosion Resistance | Physical Properties |
---|---|---|---|---|
0.02 | 200-600 | 25-45 | Excellent | Very flexible, fine mesh |
0.05 | 100-300 | 40-60 | Excellent | Flexible and lightweight |
0.1 | 50-200 | 50-70 | Excellent | Good balance of strength and flexibility |
0.3 | 30-100 | 60-80 | Good | Moderate durability |
0.5 | 20-60 | 65-85 | Good | Sturdy, balances durability |
1 | 10-40 | 70-90 | Good | Strong and rigid |
2 | 5-20 | 75-95 | Good | Very strong, less flexible |
5 | 1-10 | 80-98 | Moderate | Rigid and robust |
Notes:
Open Area: This percentage indicates the portion of the wire mesh that is open and available for the passage of fluid or solids, making it crucial for filtration efficacy.
Corrosion Resistance: Generally, stainless steel provides good resistance to corrosion; however, specific environments (e.g., exposure to salt) may affect performance.
Physical Properties: Tighter meshes (thinner wires) tend to be more flexible, while thicker wires enable strength and rigidity.
Notes: Mesh Count: Refers to the number of openings per inch. Higher mesh counts indicate finer openings. Opening Size: The size of the aperture through which materials can pass; smaller openings are better for filtering finer particles. Weight: Represents the mass of the mesh per square meter, impacting durability and handling. Max Width: The maximum width available for the stainless steel wire mesh roll. Typical Applications: Common uses highlight where these mesh specifications are best applied. |
Filtration: Essential in laboratories, chemical processing, food and beverage industries, and water treatment for separating impurities from liquids.
Construction: Used as reinforcement in concrete and as protective barriers in various architectural designs.
Automotive: Employed in manufacturing filters, grilles, and other components, helping to maintain engine efficiency and performance.
Safety and Security: Function as protective screens for windows, doors, and other openings, providing security against pests and intruders.
Mining and Agriculture: Used in sieving and sorting applications to separate materials based on size.
1. Material Selection
Grades of Stainless Steel: The most common grades are:
304 Stainless Steel: Good corrosion resistance and formability; suitable for general applications.
316 Stainless Steel: Offers higher corrosion resistance, especially in marine or chemical environments; ideal for harsh conditions.
Special Coatings: Options for additional coatings or treatments to enhance corrosion resistance or for aesthetic purposes.
2. Wire Diameter
Custom wire diameters can be selected, typically ranging from 0.02mm to 5mm. Thicker wires increase strength and durability, while finer wires are better for filtration applications.
3. Mesh Count and Opening Size
Mesh count (the number of openings per inch) can be tailored to achieve specific filtration requirements. Openings can be adjusted to filter particles of various sizes, from fine powders to larger aggregates.
Options for a variety of opening shapes, including square, rectangular, or custom configurations, to suit specific applications.
4. Sheet Size and Shape
Mesh sheets can be made in various dimensions to fit specific installation requirements. Custom lengths, widths, and shapes (rectangular, circular, etc.) can be produced to meet client specifications.
5. Weaving Pattern
Multiple weaving patterns can be selected, such as:
Plain Weave: Offers uniformity and strength, suitable for a range of applications.
Twill Weave: Provides greater flexibility and higher stability, often used for filtration.
Dutch Weave: Suitable for very fine filtration, ideal for the oil and chemical industries.
