7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel wire mesh?
A: 304 is a versatile, general-purpose grade with excellent corrosion resistance. 316 stainless steel wire mesh contains molybdenum, providing significantly enhanced resistance to chlorides and acidic environments, making it the choice for marine, chemical, and high-purity applications.
Q2: Can you supply wire mesh with a specific micron rating?
A: Yes. While we commonly specify by mesh count and wire diameter, we can cross-reference and produce mesh to achieve a target absolute or nominal micron rating for filtration purposes. Please provide your specifications for a precise quote.
Q3: How do I determine the right weave type for my application?
A: Plain weave is standard for most screening. Twilled weave allows for heavier wires. Dutch weaves (plain or reverse) are designed for fine micron filtration and high pressure. Our technical team can recommend the best weave based on your material, particle size, and flow requirements.
Q4: Do you offer finished filter assemblies or just the mesh material?
A: We offer both. We can supply raw mesh in sheets/rolls, or we can provide fully fabricated components like filter bags, screen panels, cylindrical cartridges, or welded housings as a turnkey solution.
Q5: What are your standard lead times and payment terms?
A: Lead times vary: standard items ship within 7-10 days, while custom orders typically take 3-5 weeks. We offer secure payment terms common in B2B trade, including T/T and L/C. Contact our sales team for a detailed proforma invoice.
