Overview:
This document provides detailed specifications for KENTE stainless steel wire mesh products, covering various weave types and mesh sizes. It includes technical parameters such as aperture size, wire diameter, open area percentage, mesh number, and weight per square meter.

1. Types of Stainless Steel Wire Mesh

• Plain Weave
• Twill Weave
• Plain Dutch Weave
• Twill Dutch Weave

Each weave type affects the mesh's mechanical properties and filtration characteristics.

2. Mesh Specifications

The document lists mesh specifications across a wide range of mesh numbers, from coarse (2 mesh) to very fine (500 mesh). For each mesh size, the following parameters are provided:

• Aperture: The size of the opening between wires, measured in millimeters.
• Wire Diameter: Thickness of the wire used, in millimeters.
• Open Area: Percentage of the mesh surface that is open space, indicating permeability.
• Mesh Number: Number of openings per linear inch or centimeter.
• Weight: Mass per square meter, in kilograms.

Key Data Highlights:

• Coarse meshes (e.g., 2 to 6 mesh) have larger apertures (up to 10mm) and heavier wire diameters (up to 2mm), with open areas around 65-70% and weights ranging from approximately 1.5 to 4 kg/m².
• Medium meshes (e.g., 10 to 30 mesh) show apertures between 0.7mm and 1.5mm, wire diameters from 0.16mm to 1.2mm, open areas varying from 37% to 75%, and weights from 0.38 to 4.32 kg/m².
• Fine meshes (e.g., 50 to 100 mesh) have apertures below 0.5mm, wire diameters around 0.1 to 0.4mm, open areas between 25% and 47%, and weights under 1 kg/m².
• Very fine meshes (e.g., 120 to 500 mesh) feature apertures as small as 0.025mm, wire diameters down to 0.026mm, open areas ranging from 28% to 63%, and very light weights (0.04 to 0.25 kg/m²).

3. Weave Variants and Their Impact

The document notes some meshes are available in twill weave, which typically offers higher strength and flexibility. Twill weave meshes are identified with specific weights and open areas, for example:

• 80 mesh twill weave: 0.68 to 1.02 kg/m² with open areas around 31-34%.
• 500 mesh twill weave: 0.16 kg/m² with 37% open area.

4. Practical Implications and Recommendations

• Selection Criteria: Choose mesh size and weave type based on filtration requirements, mechanical strength, and permeability.
• Weight Considerations: Heavier meshes provide greater durability but reduce open area and permeability.
• Open Area: Higher open area percentages improve flow rates but may reduce filtration precision.
• Wire Diameter: Thicker wires increase strength but decrease aperture size and open area.

Summary: This comprehensive specification guide enables precise selection of stainless steel wire mesh tailored to application needs, balancing aperture size, strength, permeability, and weight.
