Many different grades of stainless steel wire are used in wire cloth or woven mesh, such as stainless steel type 302, 304, 304L, 316, 316L, 321 and 430 etc. Among these, T304 is the most common one, but others are also used in specific applications to take advantage of each unique properties. It’s selected for their wear-resisting, heat-resisting, acid-resisting and corrosion resisting characteristics. Therefore stainless steel woven mesh is extensively used in mining exploitation, entertainment facilities, chemical industry, food industry, agriculture, construction, breeding, pharmaceutical industry and other public places.
Benefits:
* Flat surface and firm structure
* Good integrity
* Accurate pore size
* Wide range of aperture sizes
* Can be resistant to many chemicals
Weaving methods
* Plain Weave
The plain weave is the most commonly used and simplest stainless steel woven mesh weave. Each warp wire (wire running-parallel to length of cloth) passes alternately over and under the wires running traversely through the cloth at 90 degree angles. Stainless steel plain weaving mesh offers high filtering efficiency, low pressure loss, constant mesh opening, good dimensional stability, high open surface area and good fireproof property.
* Twilled Weave
Each warp wire and weft wire passes over and under the two nearby wires successively in both the warp and weft directions. This over and under movement is shifted one wire with each pass of the shuttle. The pattern is staggered on successive warp wires, giving the appearance of parallel diagonal lines. This weave allows the use of proportionately heavier wires in a particular mesh count than is possible in plain weave. Crossed twilled wire mesh are basic components in the production of filters, colanders for aliments, chemicals products, shielding, mosquito nets, etc.
* Dutch Weave
Dutch weave stainless steel woven mesh is also known as stainless steel dutch woven wire cloth and stainless steel filter cloth. It is usually made of mild steel wire and stainless steel wire. Stainless steel dutch wire mesh is extensively utilized as filter fittings for chemical industry, medicine, petroleum, telecom-communication, scientific research units,due to its stable and fine filtration capability. Meantime it’s also widely used in aerospace, petroleum, chemical industry, chemical fiber, machinery, plastic products, scientic research, conveying and other industries.
