What is woven wire mesh?
Woven wire mesh is created by weaving strands of wire over and under one another to create an open-grid pattern that’s available as sheets or rolls. The type, diameter and pattern of the weave determines its final application such as Food & Beverage, Chemical, Pharmaceutical, Agricultural, Architectural, Mining, as well as general manufacturing industries.
How is woven wire mesh made?
Woven wire mesh is manufactured by weaving strands of stainless steel, Brass, Galvanised steel or Mild steel wires horizontally and vertically together, creating an open weave mesh. The openness of the weave depends on the diameter of the wire, aperture and the pattern that’s woven. The wire is fed through a machine that acts like a loom with the wires bent over and under one another without the need for being welded. The longitudinal or horizontal warp wires are held stationary whilst the vertical or transverse weft wires are woven under and over the warp wire.
What types of woven wire mesh are available?
Unless you require a customised woven pattern, you can select from five standard woven wire mesh patterns: plain or crimped mesh in a square or rectangular mesh pattern, plain Dutch weave, Dutch twilled weave.
What are the applications of woven wire mesh?
Square woven wire mesh has multiple uses but is commonly used as Screening and Architectural applications. Rectangular woven wire mesh is often used in sifting and sizing operations that require a high degree of accuracy. With no clear openings, plain Dutch weave metal mesh is often used when fine filtration and high particle retention are required.
Dutch twilled weave has a tighter weave than the plain Dutch weave and is used when extremely fine filtration is required. Crimped woven mesh is used to create gates, fences and partitions. A variety of these patterns are used by architects and designers for both internal and external applications (mainly decorative but some have structural applications).
