FAQ
How do I select the right alloy for my chemical application?
Selection depends on the specific chemicals, concentrations, temperatures, and pressures involved. We strongly recommend consulting our technical team with your process parameters. We use corrosion tables and practical experience to recommend the most cost-effective and durable material, such as 316L for general chlorides or Hastelloy for highly oxidizing environments.
What is the difference between nominal and absolute filtration rating?
Nominal Rating refers to the approximate size of particles, a percentage of which (often 98%) will be retained by the mesh. Absolute Rating indicates the largest spherical particle that will pass through the mesh under defined test conditions. For critical applications in wire mesh chemistry, understanding and specifying the correct rating is essential for process validation.
Can you supply wire mesh ready for installation into our equipment?
Yes. We offer extensive fabrication services including cutting, rolling, welding, and assembling wire mesh into finished components like filter bags, basket strainers, sieve plates, and custom housings. Provide us with your drawings or specifications for a quote.
Do you offer samples for testing?
Yes, we provide sample swatches or small fabricated prototypes for material compatibility and performance testing in your laboratory or pilot plant. This allows you to validate the mesh performance before committing to a full-scale order.
What are your lead times for custom orders?
Lead times vary based on material availability, weave complexity, and fabrication requirements. Standard meshes typically ship within 7-14 days. Custom weaves or complex fabrications may require 3-6 weeks. We provide a firm timeline upon order confirmation and prioritize urgent project needs whenever possible.
