Stainless Steel Plain Woven Wire Mesh Categories
Coarse mesh typically includes mesh counts of 10, 14, 18, 20, and 22 threads per inch. These meshes have larger apertures, making them suitable for applications requiring more significant particle filtering and higher throughput. For example:
- 10 Mesh has a wire diameter of 0.50 mm (500 microns) and an aperture of 2.04 mm (2040 microns), offering an open area of approximately 64%.
- 14 Mesh has a wire diameter of 0.45 mm (450 microns) with an aperture of 1.36 mm (1360 microns) and an open area of 58%.
- These coarse meshes are used for tasks like coarse filtration, separation, and reinforcement in construction.
Medium mesh ranges from 50, 60, 70, 80, to 100 mesh per inch. The apertures are smaller, allowing finer particle filtering while maintaining strength and durability. For instance:
- 50 Mesh has a wire diameter of 0.25 mm (250 microns) and an aperture of 0.28 mm (280 microns) with an open area of 49%.
- 100 Mesh uses a 0.14 mm (140 microns) wire diameter with an aperture size of 0.11 mm (110 microns) and an open area of 30%.
- These meshes are frequently employed in industries such as food processing, oil refining, and particle separation.
Fine mesh includes mesh counts of 150, 170, 180, 200, and 230, providing tighter filtration for more delicate applications. Fine meshes are often used in liquid filtration and printing industries. For example:
- 150 Mesh features a wire diameter of 0.065 mm (65 microns) and an aperture of 0.104 mm (104 microns) with an open area of 41%.
- 200 Mesh has a wire diameter of 0.053 mm (53 microns) and an aperture of 0.074 mm (74 microns) with an open area of 36%.
- These meshes are ideal for filtering finer particles in liquids or gases and are often used in laboratories and chemical processing.
Extra fine mesh comprises mesh counts of 300, 325, 350, 400, and 425, suited for extremely fine particle filtration or precision applications like printing. These meshes are frequently used in industries such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, and chemical processing. For example:
- 300 Mesh uses a wire diameter of 0.036 mm (36 microns) with an aperture of 0.048 mm (48 microns), offering an open area of 33%.
- 400 Mesh has a wire diameter of 0.030 mm (30 microns) and an aperture of 0.033 mm (33 microns), with an open area of 27%.
- These fine meshes provide excellent filtration capabilities for small particle sizes, enabling applications requiring high precision.
Ultra fine mesh includes mesh counts of 450, 500, 550, 600, and 650. These meshes are used for the most delicate filtration and screening tasks. Ultra fine meshes are used in high-tech industries such as aerospace, microfiltration, and microelectronics. For example:
