Wire mesh is a fabric-like material used in countless industrial and commercial applications. Its versatility is due in part to the fact that it comes in many variations that differ in opening size, wire diameter, material and construction.
Depending on their construction, wire mesh materials can be divided into two main categories: woven or welded. The following page provides an overview of woven wire mesh, outlining what it is, its main features and benefits, how it differs from welded wire mesh and its typical applications.
Woven wire mesh (sometimes referred to as woven wire cloth) is created by weaving metal wires in an up-and-down or up-and-down method to create different patterns in different sizes. Some of the most common woven patterns include:
Plain/square weave
Rectangular weave
Plain Dutch Weave
Twill Dutch Weave
Intercurl weave
The weave pattern of a mesh significantly affects its suitability for use cases. For example, plain square weave is well suited for general purpose applications, while Dutch weave is better suited for air and water filtration applications.
In addition to the weave, woven wire mesh varies in size and material. Its openings range from a few microns to 4 inches, and metals include aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, monel alloys, and (most commonly) stainless steel.
When used in industrial and commercial applications, woven wire mesh offers many benefits, including:
Strength: the interwoven and compacted design of woven wire mesh makes it a durable and reliable material that maintains its structural integrity during use, even when subjected to impact and other stresses.
Ventilation and Visibility: Numerous openings in the woven wire mesh allow for the relatively unobstructed passage of light, air, and sound, thereby enhancing visibility, circulation, ventilation, and acoustics within the facility.
Safety and security: The open design allows employees to maintain a direct line of sight throughout the facility, enabling them to take action in the event of an emergency. For example, in the event of a fire, they can stop any equipment and spray extinguishing fluid through the grid. In addition to improving visibility, woven wire mesh protects employees and equipment from large debris flying outward or inward without sacrificing any of these qualities.
Easy to clean and maintain: woven wire screens are easy to clean and maintain, reducing the time and labor costs of such operations.
Low investment costs: Many manufacturers have optimized the manufacture of woven wire screens to reduce waste and increase productivity, which results in lower prices for customers.
Wide availability and customizability: As mentioned above, woven wire mesh is available in a wide range of patterns, materials and sizes. While there are a variety of standard options available, some manufacturers offer customized solutions for customers with highly specific or unique needs.
Wire mesh is available in both woven and welded forms, both of which offer unique advantages that make them suitable for different industrial applications. Example:
Woven wire mesh has a wider range of possible specifications than welded wire mesh, with applications ranging from micron filtration using fine woven wire mesh to fencing and security screens using coarse woven wire mesh. It is also more flexible, making it ideal for parts and products with unusual or irregular contours.
Welded wire mesh is stronger and more durable than woven wire mesh, making it suitable for protection or barrier purposes. Because the individual wire strands are welded in place, the mesh is stiffer and more uniform as a whole, both qualities that make this type of mesh suitable for parts and products with tight dimensional tolerances.
Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh, Wire Cloth and Screen Mesh Woven wire mesh has a wide range of uses. It can be used in a wide range of industrial applications such as:
Construction elements (e.g. filler panels)
Baskets (e.g. frying baskets)
Cages (e.g. livestock cages and security cages)
Filtration and separation components (e.g. drainage filters)
Grills and grills
Handrails and safety guards
Medical centrifuge screens
RFI and EMI shielding
Screens (e.g. fireplace screens, insect screens, safety screens and splash screens)
Shelves and brackets
Ventilation fan screens
