Wire Cloth:
Woven wire cloth with its wide range of materials and weave patterns is an ideal medium for strainers and filters. Using available techniques, it can be worked and formed to exact filter requirements, combining durability, strength and reliability.
Specifying/Selecting Wire Cloth:
The most common properties used to specify wire cloth include material, mesh count, wire diameter and weave.
Material – The metal or alloy used in the wire to determine its resistance to corrosion, abrasion, heat and vibration.
Mesh Count – Refers to the number of openings per linear inch. The mesh is counted by starting from the center of one wire and counting the number of openings to a point one inch distant.
Wire Diameter – The diameter of the wire before weaving.
Weave - The pattern in which the wires running crosswise (Shute Wires) and the wires running lengthwise (Warp Wires) cross each other.
