STAINLESS STEEL WOVEN MESH WEAVING TYPE
Stainless steel woven mesh is a popular and versatile mesh product that finds widespread use in a range of industries. The weaving type of stainless steel mesh plays a crucial role in determining the mesh’s properties and applications. There are several weaving types available, including plain weave, twill weave, and Dutch weave.
Plain weave stainless steel mesh is the most common and straightforward weaving type, providing a uniform mesh pattern with high strength and durability. Twill weave stainless steel mesh offers increased flexibility and filtration capabilities due to its diagonal weaving pattern. Dutch weave stainless steel mesh is a robust and dense weave type that provides exceptional filtration capabilities and is commonly used in hydraulic filters and fluidization beds.

Stainless Woven Mesh Terminology
Mesh – The number of openings per lineal inch.
SWG – Standard wire gauge
Aperture– The distance between two adjacent wires
Diameter– The thickness of the wire before weaving
Pitch– The distance between the middle point of two adjacent wires or the sum of the aperture width and the wire diameter.
% Open Area– The ratio of the area of the aperture to the area of the mesh expressed in percentage terms
Warp– All wires running lengthwise of the cloth as woven
Weft– All wires running across the cloth as woven
- Mesh Count: Mesh count refers to the number of wires per linear inch in both the warp and weft directions of the mesh. It is a critical parameter for selecting the appropriate mesh for filtration or sieving.
- Wire Diameter: Wire diameter refers to the thickness of the wire used to make the mesh. It is measured in microns and plays a vital role in determining the strength and durability of the mesh.
- Weave Type: Weave type refers to the pattern in which the wires are woven together to form the mesh. Common weave types include plain weave, twill weave, and Dutch weave.
- Open Area: Open area is the percentage of the mesh that is open or empty. It is an essential factor for selecting the mesh for filtration or separation applications.
- Aperture: Aperture refers to the size of the opening in the mesh. It is an essential factor for selecting the mesh for specific applications such as sieving or filtration.
Stainless Woven Mesh Formulas
Aperture
Calculating the aperture
1. Count a convenient number of apertures (N)
2. Measure the length covered by the N apertures (L)
3. Measure the wire diameter (D)
4. The average aperture
A working example of calculating the aperture of 6/20 woven wire mesh
1. Number of apertures counted N = 6
2. Length covered by apertures center to center L = 25.4mm
3. Diameter of wire D = 0.9mm
4. Aperture
The woven wire is identified as 3.33mm aperture / 0.9mm diameter
Mesh Count
If the aperture and the diameter are known the mesh count can be determined
Percentage Open Area
The mesh has a 62% open area
Micron Conversion
Micron (micrometer) is a unit of measure, in which usually only fine mesh under 1mm is referred to. A micron is a thousandth of a millimeter.
In this example, 325/48.5, 0.043mm aperture, 0.035mm diameter is used.

COMPARISON OF 304 OR 316 AND 304L OR 316L TYPE COMPOSITIONS AND EFFECT ON CORROSION RESISTANCE
Introduction – composition ranges
As American AISI basic grades, the only practical difference between 304 or 316 and their corresponding ‘L’ grades, i.e. 304L or 316L, is carbon content.
The carbon ranges are 0.08% maximum for 304 and 316, and 0.030% maximum for the 304L and 316L types.
All other element ranges are essentially the same, (nickel range for 304 is 8.00-10.50%, and for 304L 8.00-12.00%).
There are two European steels of the ‘304L’ type, 1.4306 and 1.4307. The 1.4307 is the variant most commonly offered, outside Germany. The 1.4301, (304), and 1.4307, (304L), have carbon ranges of 0.07% maximum and 0.030% maximum, respectively. The chromium and nickel ranges are similar, nickel for both grades having an 8% minimum. 1.4306 is essentially a German grade and has 10% minimum Ni. This reduces the ferrite content of the steel, and has found to be necessary for some chemical processes.
The European grades for the 316 and 316L types, 1.4401 and 1.4404, match on all elements, with carbon ranges of 0.07% maximum for 1.4401, and 0.030% maximum for 1.4404. There are also high Mo versions, (2.5% minimum Mo), of 316 and 316L in the EN system, 1.4436 and 1.4432, respectively. To further complicate matters, there is also grade 1.4435, which is both high in Mo, (2.5% minimum), and in Ni, (12.5% minimum).Effect of carbon on corrosion resistance
The lower carbon ‘variants’, (316L), were established as alternatives to the ‘standard’, (316), carbon range grade to overcome the risk of intercrystalline corrosion, (weld decay), which was identified as a problem in the early days of the application of these steels. This can result if the steel is held in a temperature range 450 to 850°C for periods of several minutes, depending on the temperature and subsequently exposed to aggressive corrosive environments. Corrosion then takes place next to grain boundaries.
If the carbon level is below 0.030% then this intercrystalline corrosion does not take place following exposure to these temperatures, especially for the sort of times normally experienced in the heat affected zone of welds in ‘thick’ sections of steel.
Effect of carbon level on weldability
There is a view that the low carbon types are easier to weld than the standard carbon types.
There does not seem to be a clear reason for this and the differences are probably associated with the lower strength of the low carbon type. The low carbon type may be easier to shape and form, which in turn may also affect the levels of residual stress left the steel after is forming and fitting up for welding. This may result in the ‘standard’ carbon types needing more force to hold them in position once fitted-up for welding, with more of a tendency to spring-back if not properly held in place.
The welding consumables for both types are based on a low carbon composition, to avoid intercrystalline corrosion risk in the solidified weld nugget or from the diffusion of carbon into the parent, (surrounding), metal.
Dual-certification of low carbon composition steels
Commercially produced steels, using current steelmaking methods, are often produced as the low carbon type as a matter of course due to the improved control in modern steelmaking. Consequently finished steel products are often offered to the market ‘dual certified’ to both grade designations as they can then be used for fabrications specifying either grade, within a particular standard.
