Made from stainless steel wires welded at each intersection, stainless steel welded wire mesh forms a sturdy grid. This versatile mesh finds applications in construction, agriculture, and security settings, serving purposes like fencing, enclosures, and reinforcement. The advantages of stainless steel welded wire mesh include its long lifespan, low maintenance requirements, and ability to withstand harsh environmental conditions, guaranteeing reliable performance over time.
Stainless Steel Welded Wire Mesh Material
Stainless steel welded wire mesh is typically made from high-quality alloys, primarily grades 304 and 316.
Grade 304 (18-8 Stainless Steel)
- Composition: 18% chromium, 8% nickel
- Corrosion Resistance: Excellent in many environments, including outdoors and mildly acidic conditions.
- Applications: General-purpose applications like fencing, enclosures, industrial machinery protection, and construction projects.
Grade 304L: A low-carbon version of 304, offering improved weldability.
Grade 316 (Marine Grade)
- Composition: 16% chromium, 10% nickel, 2% molybdenum
- Corrosion Resistance: Superior, especially in chloride and saline environments (marine and industrial settings with harsh chemicals).
- Applications: More demanding applications like marine environments, chemical processing, and high-salinity areas.
Grade 316L: A low-carbon version of 316, providing similar benefits to 304L in terms of weldability and resistance to sensitization.
Grade 430 (Ferritic Stainless Steel)
- Composition: Primarily iron with chromium content for corrosion resistance.
- Properties: Good corrosion resistance and formability.
- Applications: Less demanding applications where cost is a factor.
Stainless Steel Welded Wire Mesh Count (Mesh Size)
Stainless steel welded wire mesh count refers to the number of openings per linear inch. The mesh count determines the filtration level and strength required for various applications.
- Mesh Count (2-10 Mesh)
Mesh Size: 2.00 mm – 8.47 mm opening size.
Applications: Ideal for coarse filtration, such as debris and gravel screening, where large particles need to be separated. - Mesh Count (10-40 Mesh)
Mesh Size: 0.425 mm – 2.00 mm opening size.
Applications: Commonly used for sifting and separating larger particles like sand, grains, and other bulk materials.
Wire Diameter
Wire diameter affects both the strength and flexibility of the mesh:
- Smaller diameters (0.5 mm or 0.020 inch, BWG 25): Offer better flexibility for applications requiring bending or shaping.
- Medium diameters (1.0 mm or 0.039 inch, BWG 19): Provide a balance of strength and flexibility for general purposes.
- Larger diameters (2.0 mm or 0.079 inch, BWG 14): Provide increased strength for heavy-duty filtration or security purposes.
Open Area Percentage
Open area percentage determines the mesh’s permeability:
- 30-50% open area: Suitable for applications requiring good airflow or water flow, such as ventilation screens or water filters.
- 60-80% open area: Ideal for applications needing high flow rates and moderate particle filtration, like sifting screens or animal enclosures.
Filtration Ratings
Filtration ratings define the mesh’s particle retention capability:
- 25-100 microns: Suitable for filtering fine particles like dust, pollen, and bacteria.
- 100-500 microns: Commonly used for filtering larger particles like sand, coffee grounds, and fish fry.
Standard Roll Lengths
Standard roll lengths for stainless steel welded wire mesh vary to meet different project needs:
- 10 meters (33 feet): Suitable for smaller projects or precise applications.
- 30 meters (99feet): Common length for most general applications.
- 50 meters (164 feet) and 100 meters (328 feet): Available for larger-scale projects requiring extensive material.
Standard Widths
Stainless steel welded wire mesh comes in various standard widths to suit project needs, with a typical tolerance of ±2% for accurate measurements.
- 1 Meter (39 inches): Suitable for small-scale applications or precise fitting.
- 1.2 Meters (47 inches): Commonly used for medium-sized projects.
- 1.5 Meters (59 inches): Ideal for larger-scale applications requiring broader coverage.
- 2 Meters (79 inches): Used for extensive projects requiring substantial coverage.
- Custom Widths: While these are standard sizes, we may offer custom widths to meet specific project requirements.
Available Forms
Stainless steel welded wire mesh comes in three common forms to suit your project needs:
Rolls
- Description: Most economical for large projects. Rolls offer continuous mesh lengths that can be cut to size and shaped as needed.
- Considerations: May require additional fabrication.
Sheets
- Description: Ideal for projects requiring precise dimensions and easier handling compared to rolls.
- Considerations: Size options are limited, and cutting larger sheets can generate waste.
Panels
- Description: The fastest and easiest to install, featuring interlocking edges or frames for rigid structures.
- Considerations: Panels come in various sizes but are typically more expensive and less customizable than rolls or sheets.
Choosing the Right Form
- Project Needs: Do you need precise dimensions or custom shapes?
- Installation Ease: Is quick assembly a priority?
- Budget: What is the cost per unit area, and are there potential fabrication costs?
- Project Size: Large projects often favor rolls, while smaller projects might prefer pre-cut sheets or panels.
Finishing
Finishing options enhance the durability and appearance of the mesh:
- Plain (mill finish): Offers a basic, uncoated finish for general applications.
- Powder-coated: Offers a decorative finish and additional corrosion resistance, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Custom and Stock
We offer a diverse inventory, complemented by a range of custom solutions we’ve developed for our valued customers.
316 Stainless Steel 16 GA Welded Wire Mesh
- Mesh Size: 1/2″ x 1/2″ (12.7 mm x 12.7 mm)
- Length: 15 meters (50 feet)
- Wire Gauge: 16 GA (1.29 mm)
- Common Mesh Count Sizes
2 x 2 (12.7 mm x 12.7 mm): Often used for animal control and fencing.
