New uses for stainless steel mesh are still discovering…
Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh VS Stainless Steel Welded Wire Mesh
Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh and Stainless Steel Welded Wire Mesh are different mesh types.
Please choose the suitable wire mesh based on your requirements.
Here are the main differences:
- The welded wire mesh structure is stronger than the woven wire mesh.
- The woven wire mesh aperture is much more smaller than the welded wire mesh.
- The wire diameter of welded wire mesh is usually thicker than the woven wire mesh.
- The application is different, welded wire mesh is usually used for protection, the woven wire mesh is mostly used for sieving and filtering.
In summary, stainless steel woven wire mesh and stainless steel welded wire mesh have unique characteristics and applications.
Both of them are good Industrial wire mesh materials, I believe through our introduction you will get the suitable material.
Other Materials Of Woven Wire Mesh
Woven wire mesh is a type of wire mesh, except the stainless steel material, it also has other different kinds of materials. These other materials with good heat resistance, good corrosion resistance, and good electrical conductivity, bring the woven wire mesh to multiple applications.

How To Measure Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Size?
For the stainless steel woven wire mesh: Wire mesh size including mesh count, wire diameter, and aperture.
Mesh count is the number of holes in 1 inch of the mesh, it can be measured by a magnifier.
Wire diameter is the thickness of a single wire of the mesh, it can be measured by a micrometer.
Aperture also called hole size, can be measured by a ruler.
There is a formula between them:
Mesh count=25.4/(Wire diameter+Aperture)
The unit is millimeter, and this formula is valid for welded wire mesh, and square wire mesh.
For example:
200 mesh stainless steel woven wire mesh with 0.05mm wire diameter, we can calculate the aperture based on this information:
The aperture is 25.4/200-0.05=0.077mm, so it is simple to know all the wire mesh sizes information.
We hope our introduction will be helpful to you.
Industry Standards Of Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh
The Industry Standards Of Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh include many kinds, there are different standards in different countries. But the standards are almost the same.
For example:
ASTM E2016-22, ISO 9044:2016, BS 481-1:1971, DIN 4185-1, GB/T5330-2003, etc.
By the way, the stainless steel wire also has different standards, such as UNS, DIN, GB/T, JIS, and AISI.
No matter which standard, it is made for the development of the stainless steel woven mesh industry.
We believe that these standards will also be updated with the development of stainless steel woven wire mesh.
How Long Does Stainless Steel Mesh Last?
Based on the above introduction, We know that the different grades of stainless steel woven wire mesh have different performances, and different working environments also have a big influence.
Although the stainless steel woven wire mesh is corrosion resistant and heat resistant, it needs to be used in the correct working environment.
