What is Wire Mesh?

This is a general term for a woven material made from a metallic wire.Traditional Wire Mesh ( Wire Cloth, Wire Screen, Woven Mesh ) is made in rolls on a loom. It consists of a warp and shute wire and the openings can be made in many geometric shapes and sizes. The wire is generally crimped during the weaving process and the openings are controlled during the weaving process.

Wire Mesh Weaving Patterns

Plain Weave, Twilled Weave, Plain Dutch Weave, Twilled Dutch Weave, Reverse Dutch Weave.

Plain Weave Wire Mesh

It is the most commonly used and simplest wire mesh weave.Each shute wire is woven alternately over and under the warp wires through the cloth at 90 degree angles.This is a very common weave that can be produced quickly and economically.It has a wide range of applications.

Twilled Weave Wire Mesh

It is woven by passing each shute wire alternately over and under two warp wires.This type of weave is commercially woven in items ranging from 20-800 mesh however it is also available in course and mid range mesh combinations.

Plain Dutch Weave Wire Mesh

It is woven with a larger wire diameter in the warp direction and a relatively smaller wire in the shute direction.This weave has great strength and is available in wide range of micron ranges.It is primarily used to filter a wide range of liquid and slurry products.

Twilled Dutch Weave Wire Mesh

It is a woven product that is capable of very fine filtration.Shute wires are passed alternately over and under two warp wires forming a fine mesh.It has a wide range of filtration applications for gas and liquid applications.

Reverse Dutch Weave Wire Mesh

It is a very strong woven product.This mesh is ideal for making filter belts,and applications where fine filtration and great strength are required.
