Stainless Steel Square Weave Mesh – An Ideal Choice for Screening & Filtration

Stainless steel square weave mesh is a woven mesh made of stainless steel wires, featuring uniform mesh openings, high stability, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance. Different weaving methods can be selected to meet specific needs. Stainless steel square weave mesh is commonly used for screening and classification, such as in test sieves, rotary vibrating screens, and shale shaker screens.

Weave Types
A piece of plain weave mesh placed on a flat surface
Plain Weave Mesh

Stainless steel plain weave mesh is woven by alternating one warp wire over and under one weft wire, forming a 90-degree angle. The warp and weft wires have the same diameter, and the opening size is consistent.

It is commonly used for screening and coarse filtration.

A piece of twill weave mesh placed on a flat surface
Twill Weave Mesh

Stainless steel twill weave mesh is woven by each warp wire passing alternately over and under 2 weft wires and vice versa. The warp and weft wires have the same diameter, and the mesh opening tends to be rhombic.

It is commonly used for the filtration of gases, liquids, and solids.

A piece of oblong weave mesh placed on a flat surface
Oblong Weave Mesh

The weave method of stainless steel oblong weave mesh is similar to that of plain weave mesh, with rectangular apertures. The commonly used opening ratio (length/width) is 3:1, which can be adjusted according to requirements.

It has high performance and is not easily clogged. It is suitable for screening round and cubic particles.

A piece of 5-heddle weave mesh placed on a flat surface
5-Heddle Weave Mesh

The weave method of 5-heddle weave mesh typically involves each warp wire alternately passing over and under every single and four weft wires, and each weft wire passing over and under every one and every four warp wires and vice versa. This method results in a relatively loose structure, suitable for applications requiring high flexibility and air permeability.

Features
  • Woven from high-quality stainless steel wire, it has a stable structure, and is not easily deformed. It possesses good wear resistance, acid and alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, and a long service life.
  • The mesh openings are uniform and regular, ensuring excellent screening and filtration performance of the stainless steel woven mesh.
  • The mesh surface is flat and smooth, making it easy to clean and maintain.
