Woven Wire Mesh Panels & Screens
Woven wire mesh is a metal mesh in which the warp and weft wires are interwoven by a loom machine to form a square opening. Common wire materials include stainless steel, galvanized wire, plain steel, pure aluminum and aluminum alloys, pure copper, brass, etc. Common weave styles are plain weave, twill weave and Dutch weave.
Technical Parameters
The main technical parameters of woven mesh include material, wire diameter, weaving style, mesh opening, mesh count and surface treatment, etc.
- Material: Almost all common materials can be used to make woven mesh, such as AISI 304, 316 stainless steel, galvanized wire, low carbon plain steel, aluminum alloy, pure copper, brass, bronze, phosphor bronze, nickel and nickel alloy, etc.
- Wire diameter: usually 0.002-3.0mm (0.0008-0.118 in.), compared with welded wire mesh, the wire diameter of woven wire mesh screen can be much thinner than a hair, and the wire size can reach 0.002mm (0.0008 in), that is 2 microns; The maximum wire diameter of the woven cloth is usually 10mm, while the wire diameter of the welded wire mesh can reach 10mm or even thicker.
- Weaving styles are mainly divided into plain weave, twill weave and Dutch weave; a twisted wire mesh, also called chicken wire, classified by many as a woven mesh, is the most popular metal mesh.
- Mesh opening size, also known as aperture size, refers to the size of the mesh hole (excluding the diameter of the wire), the opening size range for woven cloth is 20 micron to 25.4 cm.
- Mesh count refers to the number of openings contained in 1 linear inch; The mesh count of the woven mesh is 1-600 opening(s).
- Surface treatment refers to applying a layer of metal or non-metallic coating on the surface of the wire mesh to prevent the wire mesh from rusting or corroding. For wire mesh, common surface treatments include galvanizing, painting, copper plating, titanium plating, chrome plating, nickel plating, etc.
