General Specifications of Stainless Steel Wire Mesh

Stainless steel wire mesh is widely used in various industries due to its excellent properties like high strength, resistance to wear and corrosion, and long service life. The following are some general specifications of stainless steel wire mesh:

Type: Mostly made from types 304, 304L, 316, and 316L stainless steel. Each type varies in terms of corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
Wire: The wire used to create the mesh can be available in various diameters, usually measured in gauge.
Mesh Count: Defines the number of threads per inch. The mesh number indicates how many meshes are measured per inch, and usually ranges from a fine mesh (like 500 mesh) to a coarse mesh (like 2 mesh).
Aperture: The distance between two adjacent wires, affecting the size of particles that can pass through.
Wire Diameter: The thickness of the wire used, typically expressed in millimeters or inches.
Dimensions Width: Standard widths of rolls include 36", 40", 48" and 60", but other sizes are also available.
Dimensions Length: Common roll lengths are 25', 50', and 100', although other lengths can be manufactured.
ASTM E2016-15: A widely recognized international standard specifying the technical delivery conditions for steel wire mesh.
ISO 4783: Specifies industrial wire screens and woven wire cloth.
