Premium Mesh Woven Wire for Industrial Filtration & Separation
Welcome to our comprehensive guide on high-quality mesh woven wire. As a critical component in countless industrial processes, selecting the correct woven wire mesh is paramount for operational efficiency, product purity, and equipment longevity. Our product line is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of global B2B markets, offering precise specifications and exceptional durability.
1. Product Overview
Our mesh woven wire is manufactured using advanced weaving technology on high-precision looms. We offer a diverse range of materials, including stainless steel (304, 316L, 310S), brass, copper, and Monel, to suit various chemical and thermal environments. The mesh is characterized by consistent opening sizes, high tensile strength, and a smooth, uniform surface, ensuring reliable performance in critical applications such as filtration, sieving, and shielding. From standard square mesh to complex Dutch weave patterns, our product portfolio serves as the backbone for industrial separation processes.
2. Key Features
- Precise Mesh Count: Consistent openings from 1 mesh to 635 mesh, ensuring accurate particle size control.
- High Tensile Strength: Constructed from cold-drawn wire, providing superior resistance to tension and mechanical stress.
- Corrosion & Heat Resistance: Suitable for aggressive chemical environments and high-temperature applications (up to 1100°C for stainless steel grades).
- Uniform Weave: Tight tolerances on wire diameter and opening size minimize variation, guaranteeing predictable filtration results.
- Flexibility: Available in rolls, cut pieces, or pre-formed filter discs and cylinders.
- Edge Treatment: Options include welded edges, folded edges, or cut edges to prevent fraying and ensure safe handling.
3. Technical Specifications
Below are standard specifications for our most common mesh woven wire products. Custom specifications are available upon request.
| Mesh Count (per inch) | Wire Diameter (mm) | Opening Size (μm) | Open Area (%) | Material Grade | Standard Roll Size (m) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 x 4 | 1.60 | 4750 | 56 | 304 SS / 316L SS | 1.0 x 30 |
| 20 x 20 | 0.40 | 850 | 45 | 304 SS / 316L SS | 1.0 x 30 |
| 100 x 100 | 0.10 | 150 | 35 | 316L SS / Monel | 1.0 x 30 |
| 200 x 200 | 0.05 | 74 | 34 | 316L SS | 1.0 x 20 |
| 325 x 2300 (Dutch Twill) | 0.035 / 0.030 | 44 | 12 | 316L SS | 1.0 x 10 |
| 400 x 400 | 0.03 | 37 | 30 | 316L SS | 1.0 x 10 |
Note: Tolerances on opening size are typically ±5% for standard meshes. Dutch weave specifications are for filtration rating (micron retention).
4. Application Scenarios
The versatility of our mesh woven wire makes it indispensable across multiple industries:
- Petrochemical & Refining: Used in catalyst recovery, sand control screens, and fluid filtration systems.
- Mining & Minerals: Vibrating screens for ore classification, dewatering, and grading of aggregates.
- Food & Beverage: Sieves for flour milling, juice filtration, and beer brewing (conforming to FDA standards).
- Pharmaceutical & Chemical: Fine filtration of powders, granules, and liquids in API production.
- Architecture & Security: Facade cladding, insect screens, and safety barriers requiring high strength and aesthetics.
- Environmental Protection: Wastewater treatment filters, air intake screens, and sludge dewatering belts.
5. Advantages
- Superior Flow Rate: Optimized open area ensures high throughput while maintaining precise filtration.
- Long Service Life: Robust wire construction resists abrasion, fatigue, and chemical attack, reducing replacement frequency.
- Easy Maintenance: Smooth surface allows for simple cleaning via backwashing, ultrasonic, or chemical methods.
- Customizable: Available in various weaves (plain, twill, Dutch, reverse Dutch) and edge treatments to match your equipment.
- Cost-Effective: High durability translates to lower total cost of ownership (TCO) compared to lower-grade alternatives.

7. FAQ
Q: What is the difference between plain weave and twill weave?
A: Plain weave has each weft wire passing over and under each warp wire, offering a simple, strong structure. Twill weave has a staggered pattern, allowing for a higher mesh count and finer filtration with greater strength.
Q: Can I order mesh woven wire in custom widths?
A: Yes. We can slit rolls to widths from 50 mm up to 2.0 m, depending on the mesh specification. Please provide your exact width requirement.
Q: How do I determine the correct micron rating for my application?
A: For square mesh, the micron rating is roughly 15,000 divided by the mesh count (for standard wire diameters). For Dutch weave, the rating is based on the wedge-shaped pores. Contact our technical team for a precise recommendation based on your particle size distribution.
Q: What packaging do you use for export?
A: Rolls are wound on sturdy cardboard cores, wrapped in moisture-proof paper, and packed in plywood crates or palletized with protective corners to prevent damage during transit.
Q: Do you offer certificates of compliance?
A: Absolutely. Each shipment includes a mill test certificate (MTC) with chemical and mechanical properties, plus a certificate of conformance if required.
