Plain Weave Stainless Steel Wire Mesh

 

Product Introduction

 

Plain weave stainless steel wire mesh is a classic and widely used screen product, created by interlacing stainless steel wires in a simple "one over, one under" pattern. This method results in a mesh characterized by square and uniform openings, a strong structure, and a flat surface. It serves as a fundamental component in industrial filtration and has also become a popular choice in architectural decoration.

Material

 

The primary raw material is stainless steel wire. Depending on the specific requirements of the application environment, the following grades of stainless steel are commonly used for weaving:

Standard Grades: 304, 304L, 316, 316L. Grade 304 is the most widely used, offering excellent corrosion resistance and workability.

Other Grades: 302, 201, 310S, 321, 347, 410, 430, 625,etc., used for specialized environments requiring high temperatures or high corrosion resistance.

Special Materials: Pure Nickel (N:99.5%), etc.

 

Specifications

 

The specifications of the mesh are primarily defined by its Mesh Count, Wire Diameter, Aperture, and Width.

Mesh Range: The range is extensive, from 1 mesh for coarse industrial filtration to 600 mesh for high-precision filtration. Common mesh counts include 10, 20, 40, 80, 100, 200, 325, and 400 mesh.

Weaving Style: Plain weave is the most fundamental pattern. Warp and weft wires of the same diameter cross each other, with each warp wire passing alternately over and under each weft wire, creating a uniform and square grid. A variation is Plain Dutch Weave, where warp wires are thicker than weft wires, allowing for higher filtration precision.

Width and Length:

• Standard Widths: 0.914m, 1m, 1.2m, 1.5m. Custom widths can be produced.

• Roll Length: Typically 30 meters per roll, but custom lengths are available.

Product Display (Visual Descriptions)

 

Finished Rolls

The mesh is tightly wound on sturdy paper tubes to prevent creasing, wrapped in moisture-resistant materials, and labeled.

Surface Appearance

Clean, bright, and free of oil stains or scratches. The weave is even, with uniform mesh openings.

Edge Treatment

The edges are trimmed neatly without loose wires to prevent unravelling during handling.

Transportation

 

Suitable for all modes of transport (sea freight, air freight, land courier). Ensure the packages are kept away from water and heavy pressure during loading and unloading.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

 

Q1: What is the difference between plain weave and twill weave?

A1: In plain weave, each weft wire crosses over and under each warp wire. In twill weave, the weft wire crosses over two or more warp wires, creating a diagonal pattern. Plain weave is typically used for general filtration and offers more rigid structure, while twill allows for a higher mesh count with the same wire diameter.

Q2: How do I choose between 304 and 316 stainless steel mesh?

A2: 304 stainless steel is suitable for general applications with good corrosion resistance and is more cost-effective. 316 stainless steel contains molybdenum, which provides superior resistance to chlorides and chemicals, making it ideal for marine environments and chemical processing.

Q3: Can you cut the mesh into small pieces or specific shapes?

A3: Yes, we can provide custom slitting (cutting large rolls into narrow strips) and cutting sheets or circles (gaskets) according to your drawings or requirements.

Q4: What is the tolerance for mesh count and wire diameter?

A4: Standard tolerance for mesh count is typically within ±2%. Wire diameter tolerance usually follows national standards like GB/T 4240 or ASTM A580.

Q5: How should I store the stainless steel mesh?

A5: Store in a dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Keep the rolls upright and away from the ground to prevent moisture. Avoid contact with acids, alkalis, or other corrosive substances.

Q6: Do you offer samples before placing a bulk order?

A6: Yes, we can provide small samples (e.g., A4 size or small pieces) to verify the quality and specifications. Usually, samples are free, but the customer pays for the shipping cost.
