WOVEN WIRE MESH
Stainless steel woven wire mesh combines stable opening geometry, corrosion resistance and wire strength for screening, filtration, protection and architectural applications.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Stainless steel offers a practical combination of corrosion resistance, wire strength and stable opening geometry across coarse screens, protective mesh, fine filtration and Dutch weave. Grades 304 and 304L suit many general duties, while 316 or 316L can be considered for chloride exposure, hygiene and demanding cleaning environments.
Compared with aluminum, copper, brass and galvanized steel, stainless steel generally supports a wider range of demanding filtration and process duties. Mesh count, wire diameter, aperture, open area and weave structure must be reviewed together before production.
Mesh count and wire diameter are coordinated to the target opening and open area.
Weave structure and wire tension support consistent openings and roll quality.
Stainless grades can be matched to general, hygienic and more demanding environments.
MATERIAL SELECTION
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Review grade, weave, mesh count, wire diameter and aperture together. Compatible combinations are confirmed against the approved mesh specification before production.
304, 304L, 316 and 316L. 310, 904L and duplex grades are available on request.
Typical reference range is approximately 1–635 mesh. Available aperture and open area depend on the selected wire diameter and weave.
Typical reference range is approximately 0.02–3 mm, subject to grade, mesh count and weave compatibility.
Plain, twill, plain Dutch, twill Dutch, reverse Dutch and crimped weave. Available combinations depend on grade, wire diameter and mesh count.
Typical width is approximately 0.6–2.0 m. Common roll length is 30 m, with approximately 10–100 m available by specification. Cut pieces and fabricated formats depend on dimensions.
Common specifications are normally quoted from one roll. Some common 304 and 316 specifications may be available; high mesh counts and special weaves are produced to order.
ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS
We review mesh count, wire diameter, aperture, weave structure, roll quality, grade and edge requirements before production to reduce avoidable selection and fabrication risks.
CHALLENGE
Aperture, open area and mechanical strength change together as mesh count and wire diameter change.
AMBER RESPONSE
Review the target opening, retention requirement, open area, wire diameter and service load before confirming the mesh combination.
CHALLENGE
Plain, twill and Dutch weaves differ in stability, flow, particle retention, forming behavior and cleaning.
AMBER RESPONSE
Select the weave around the filtration target, pressure conditions, required flexibility and downstream fabrication.
CHALLENGE
Uneven tension, edge waves or telescoping rolls can complicate cutting, framing and automated processing.
AMBER RESPONSE
Confirm roll width, length, flatness expectations, edge condition, inspection points and packaging before production.
CHALLENGE
The wrong grade, unfinished edges or unsuitable fixing details may cause corrosion, fraying or installation damage.
AMBER RESPONSE
Match the stainless grade to the environment and specify edge treatment, framed panels, forming and fixing requirements.
Send us the application, mesh count, wire diameter, aperture, weave, stainless grade, roll width and edge requirement. Our team will review manufacturability before quotation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Material, specification and commercial details are confirmed for the actual project.
Stainless steel offers the broadest practical combination of corrosion resistance, wire strength and stable opening geometry across coarse screens, protective mesh, fine filtration and Dutch weave.
Consider 316 or 316L when the exposure or cleaning conditions require a grade review beyond 304. Specify the process medium, chloride exposure, temperature, cleaning method and any welding requirements. The final grade should be selected for the complete service conditions.
Filtration, screening, food and pharmaceutical processing, chemicals, mining, insect screens, safety guards and precision separation. No mesh count should be selected independently of wire diameter, aperture, open area and service duty.
Provide material grade, weave type, mesh count or aperture, wire diameter, open area, roll or sheet dimensions, edge requirement, quantity and service environment.
Common specifications are normally quoted from one roll. Cut pieces and fabricated formats depend on dimensions and quantity. Some common 304 and 316 specifications may be available.
