The Basics of Wire Mesh

Woven wire mesh is a type of wire cloth that is made by weaving individual wires together to form a mesh. It is commonly used in filtration applications because it is strong, durable, and able to filter out particles of a specific size.

The wire mesh is made up of two sets of wires, one running in one direction and the other running at a 90-degree angle to the first. The intersection of the two sets of wires forms a square or rectangular opening, known as a "mesh," which acts as a filter. The size of the mesh can be varied by using different wire diameters or by adjusting the distance between the wires.

The mesh is able to filter out particles because they are too large to pass through the openings. The size of the particles that can be filtered out is determined by the size of the mesh openings. For example, a mesh with smaller openings will be able to filter out smaller particles than a mesh with larger openings.

In addition to the size of the mesh openings, the wire mesh can be made from different materials, depending on the application. Common materials include stainless steel, brass, and aluminum, each with its own properties. For example, stainless steel is corrosion resistant, while brass is good for high-temperature applications.

Woven wire mesh can be used in a variety of filtration applications such as in the food and beverage industry, Pharmaceuticals industry, chemical industry, water treatment plants, and air filters.
