Wire Cloth Reference Section

Woven Wire Cloth and Woven Wire Mesh Specification Groups are linked to detailed specification tables.

Examples of the many uses for woven wire cloth.

Wire can be woven in several weave styles.

  

Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Corrosion Resistance

The tables below provide information based on laboratory tests of the more popular grades of stainless steel materials utilized in wire mesh weaving.
Results were obtained in a controlled environment and should only be considered as a guide to the potential service life of wire mesh screens.
Secondary fabrication such as welding, soldering, brazing or heat treat processes may have adverse effects on screen mesh life.

Indications
A Recommended
A* Recommended, pitting may result under certain conditions.
B Subject to light chemical attack, use with care.
B* Subject to light chemical attack, pitting may result under certain conditions.
C Material was chemically attacked, not recommended.
N Material not tested, no results available
