Twilled Weave Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Specifications
Twilled weave stainless steel mesh, recognized for its diagonal pattern created by the interlacing of warp and weft wires, involves each weft wire navigating over and under two or more warp wires. This weave style enhances strength and filtration capabilities relative to plain weave mesh, accommodating applications demanding elevated strength, filtration precision, and mechanical stability. Its tight mesh structure and diagonal pattern amplify support and pressure resistance, rendering it optimal for rigorous filtration, sieving, and separation processes. Esteemed for its superb corrosion resistance, durability, and resilience against harsh environments, high temperatures, and chemicals, this mesh aligns with applications prioritizing durability and longevity.
With variable mesh size options and availability in various stainless steel grades, such as 304, 316, and 316L, twilled weave mesh serves diverse industries including mining, oil and gas, food processing, and pharmaceuticals, addressing needs for meticulous filtration and mechanical stability.
Specifications:
- Weave Pattern: Twilled Weave
- Each weft wire passes sequentially over and under two or more warp wires, forming a characteristic diagonal pattern.
- The process can be reversed—each warp wire passes over and under two weft wires, depending on specification requirements.
- Wire Diameter:
- Can range from very fine to thick wires, depending on the application.
- Fine wires will yield a higher mesh count (more wires per inch) and are typically used for finer filtration applications.
- Mesh Count:
- Generally ranges between 20 and 500 meshes, though extremes can be manufactured based on specific applications.
- A higher mesh count allows for finer particle filtration but reduces the mesh's permeability and open area.
- Material Grade:
- Commonly used stainless steel grades include 304, 316, and 316L, each conferring distinct corrosion resistance and strength properties.
- 304: General-purpose steel with good corrosion resistance.
- 316/316L: Higher corrosion and chemical resistance, suitable for harsher environments.
- Opening Size:
- Varies depending on wire diameter and mesh count, and can be customized based on filtration requirements.
- Openings can be square or rectangular, depending on the wire diameters used in warp and weft directions.
- Roll Width and Length:
- Typically available in standard roll widths of 36", 40", 48", 60", and can be customized.
- Roll length can also be tailored to specific customer requirements to minimize wastage and joinings in applications.
- Tolerance:
- Stringent tolerances are adhered to during manufacturing, ensuring consistent opening sizes and wire diameters throughout the mesh.
- Tolerances can be especially critical in applications requiring precise particle separation and sizing.
- Finish:
- Can be delivered in a mill finish, or with post-weave finishes such as passivation or ultrasonic cleaning to enhance corrosion resistance or remove contaminants.
- Edge Preparation:
- Available in raw (sheared) edge, salvaged edge, or with an added binding, depending on the application and installation requirements.
