T304 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh is one of the most widely used types of stainless steel wire mesh due to the excellent combination of corrosion resistance, strength, and formability. SS 304 wire mesh is commonly used in various industries for applications including filtration, safety barriers, sieving, and decorative purposes. T304 wire mesh is well-suited for environments that do not involve exposure to highly corrosive agents like saltwater or harsh chemicals.

Below is an overview of common sizes and customization options available for T304 Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh and UNS S30403 Wire Mesh:

Common Sizes of T304 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh

SS 304 wire mesh is available in various sizes depending on the wire diameter, mesh opening, and overall panel dimensions. Below are some of the most commonly available sizes:

Wire Diameter:

• Fine Wire Diameters: 0.025mm to 1mm
• Medium Wire Diameters: 1mm to 3mm
• Heavy Wire Diameters: 3mm to 6mm

Mesh Openings:

• Fine Mesh Openings:
  • 0.1mm x 0.1mm (micro-filtering and laboratory use)
  • 0.25mm x 0.25mm (ideal for fine sieving)
• Standard Mesh Openings:
  • 1mm x 1mm (general industrial use)
  • 2mm x 2mm (suitable for sieving and filtering coarse materials)
• Coarse Mesh Openings:
  • 10mm x 10mm (for heavy-duty sieving and material separation)
  • 20mm x 20mm (larger mesh sizes for structural applications)

Panel Sizes:

T304 wire mesh is typically offered in standard panel sizes but can be customized to suit specific project needs. Common panel sizes include:

• 1000mm x 2000mm (1m x 2m)
• 1200mm x 2400mm (1.2m x 2.4m)
• 1500mm x 3000mm (1.5m x 3m)
• Custom panel sizes can be produced upon request to fit specific applications or installations.

Opening Patterns:

T304 wire mesh can be woven in various patterns:

• Plain Weave: The most common weave, where each wire crosses over and under at right angles.
• Twill Weave: Allows for a stronger mesh, where each wire crosses over and under two or more wires.
• Dutch Weave: A special weave where the wire diameter is heavier in the weft (horizontal) direction, resulting in finer mesh openings for filtration.
• Custom Weave Patterns: Customized weaving options are also available for specific requirements, such as larger openings or more robust mesh configurations.

Customization Options for T304 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh

T304 stainless steel wire mesh can be fully customized to meet the precise needs of different industries or applications. Some common customization options include:

1. Wire Diameter Customization

The wire diameter of T304 stainless steel mesh can be customized according to the required strength, flexibility, and mesh opening size. Thicker wire diameters offer more strength and durability, while finer wire diameters provide finer filtration.

2. Mesh Opening Size

Mesh openings can be customized to suit different filtration or sieving needs. Depending on the application, you can specify a wide range of mesh sizes, from ultra-fine filters to coarse screens.

3. Panel Dimensions

T304 stainless steel wire mesh is available in standard dimensions but can be cut to custom sizes. Panel sizes can be specified based on your installation requirements, reducing the need for on-site cutting and adjustments.

4. Wire Surface Treatment

• Smooth Surface: The mesh can be provided with a smooth finish for aesthetic purposes or for easier cleaning.
• Crimped or Flattened: The wire mesh can be crimped or flattened to provide a more rigid structure, enhancing its strength for heavy-duty applications.
• Electro-polished: An optional surface treatment to further improve corrosion resistance and provide a shiny, smooth surface.

5. Edge Finishing

For specific applications, the edges of the mesh can be finished with:

• Hemmed Edges: The mesh edges can be folded over to prevent fraying and for easier installation.
• Cut Edges: Standard cut edges can be provided for specific applications, depending on the mesh’s end use.

6. Fabrication Options

• Custom Cutting: Mesh panels can be custom-cut into any required shape or size.
• Welding or Fastening: Custom fabrication may involve welding or other fastening techniques to create specific shapes, such as cylindrical filters or custom-sized barriers.
• Framed Mesh: For easier installation, T304 stainless steel mesh can be framed using various materials like aluminum, steel, or stainless steel.
