Stainless steel mesh screen is a high-quality mesh commonly used in petrochemical, food processing, papermaking, metallurgy, and mining industries. It has the advantages of being rust-resistant, fire-resistant, and corrosion-resistant. For example, 316 stainless steel and 304 stainless steel can provide food-grade safety. Its fine mesh allows airflow and light to pass through more easily. Wanzhi Steel specializes in the production of 200 series, 300 series, and 400 series stainless steel mesh. The wire diameter, mesh size, and mesh count can all be customized. Welcome to send size requirements.

What is a stainless steel mesh screen?

It is a stainless steel mesh with regular mesh, fireproof, rustproof, and corrosion-resistant, while providing good visibility and ensuring air circulation. According to the different chemical element contents, it is divided into 304, 316, 430 grade, and others. There are welded or woven meshes with different meshes, such as Crimped Screen Mesh for Sieving, 40/60/80 mesh SS steel sieve, and 200/300/400 Micron Stainless Steel Filter Cloth. It is used in coal mining and, chemical industry.

Features

1. Versatility is one of the most common advantages of stainless steel.

2. High heat and cold resistance.

3. Non-magnetic in the annealed state.

4. It can be perforated to form a stainless steel perforated plate.

5. Resistant to acid and alkali solutions.

6. Almost no rust or wear easily.

Application fields of stainless steel mesh screen

316 stainless steel mesh VS 304 stainless steel mesh

The chemical composition of stainless steel consists of two main elements: chromium and nickel. Depending on the grade of the material, these elements are adjusted to form a stronger or more magnetic metal.

Because of the increased nickel content and the addition of molybdenum in 316 stainless steel, it is 40% more expensive than 304 stainless steel mesh. However, it has stronger performance and is called “marine grade stainless steel”. The addition of the two elements enhances the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel itself in the chemical environment and also improves its strength under high temperature operation, which is also a prerequisite for the selection of materials in the food or marine industry.

Two basic types of stainless steel wire mesh

T-304

T-304 is a basic stainless steel alloy containing 18% chromium and 8% nickel. Less corrosion resistant than T-316, it melts at 2600 degrees Fahrenheit (1430 degrees Celsius) and is recommended for continuous service at 1450 degrees Fahrenheit (790 degrees Celsius) and for intermediate service at 1650 degrees Fahrenheit (900 degrees Celsius). T-304 stainless steel mesh uses include abrasives, liquid filtration, powder filtration, and sorting and screening of exotic solids.

T-316

T-316 is a special stainless steel alloy that contains 18% chromium and 10% nickel, as well as 2% molybdenum. This combination allows the mesh to resist corrosion from salt, acid, and seawater.

T-316 melts at 2500 degrees Fahrenheit (1375 degrees Celsius) and has a maximum recommended temperature of 1500 degrees Fahrenheit (815 degrees Celsius) for continuous use and 1650 degrees Fahrenheit (900 degrees Celsius) for intermediate use. Its uses include processing oils and foods, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.

Can stainless steel mesh screens be cut?

The right tools can cut stainless steel mesh to any desired size. In addition to cutting, welding is also possible.

For stainless steel wires from .001″ to .010″ in diameter, scissors can be used, and for thicker wires from .011 to about .047 in diameter, tin snips are needed. Wires larger than .047″ in diameter are difficult to cut with hand tools, but compound aircraft-style hand shears can usually accomplish the task.

Mesh indicators: number of meshes, wire diameter, and aperture

1. Wire diameter: The thickness of a single wire.

2. Opening/aperture/hole size: The distance between two adjacent parallel wires

3. Mesh Count/Size: The number of openings/apertures/holes per inch of mesh. 1). Plain/Twill Weave: 2 – 635 Mesh. 2). Dutch Weave: 12X64 – 500X3200 Mesh.

4. Specify the mesh size in microns: Stainless steel filter 5 micron, 40 / 75 / 250 micron mesh screen, 70 micron stainless steel mesh, 300 micron stainless steel mesh filter.

Micron size usually refers to the nominal aperture size. For example, a 1 micron mesh means the mesh has a nominal aperture size of 0.001 mm. This is because 1 micron equals 0.001 mm.
