Woven Wire Mesh

Woven wire mesh is a woven fabric made of metallic material, flexible enough to be woven into a variety of shapes and sizes. At Industrial Mesh Supplies we offer a variety of products, including specialized high quality woven wire cloths of different styles, as well as custom requirements made to your specifications. Woven wire mesh can be supplied in rolls of various widths and lengths.

This is used extensively in various industries and different applications. All materials are woven from wire, and are available ex-Stock from 30mm to 25 Micron, in various types of weave. These meshes can also be punched in various diameters or shapes, and spot-welded together to create screen packs.

Plain Weave

Most commonly used weave. Each weft wire passes alternatively over and under each warm wire and vice versa. Warp and weft wire diameters are generally the same. Plain weave meshes are available with apertures from 10.7mm (2 mesh) to 0.05mm (325 mesh).

Twill Weave

Stronger than Plain Weave. Each weft wire alternatively crosses over two, then under two warp wires, producing a diagonal pattern. The wire diameter for both warp and weft is normally the same. Twill weave is usually used to accommodate heavier than standard wire diameter in association with a given mesh. Specifications finer than 300 are normally twill woven.

Hollander Weave

A Palin Weave with the wrap wires of larger diameter than the weft. The weave is made up of a limited number of wrap wires interwoven with the maximum number of weft which can be knocked up. This cloth is strong and firm and is most frequently used for high pressure filtration.
