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.

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.

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.

Robust Structure: The plain weave creates a compact structure with many friction points between wires, resulting in high rigidity and resistance to deformation.

Precise Openings: Openings are square, uniform, and manufactured within tight tolerances, ensuring consistent filtration accuracy.

Corrosion & Heat Resistance: The stainless steel construction offers excellent resistance to oxidation, acids, and alkalis, with a wide temperature range suitability.

Smooth Surface: The wire has a bright finish, making it easy to clean and compliant with food and pharmaceutical hygiene standards.

Electrical Conductivity: As a metal, the mesh is conductive, making it suitable for anti-static applications.
