The Five-Heddle Weave Wire Mesh is a type of woven wire mesh known for its intricate and tightly knit pattern, achieved through the use of five heddles in the weaving process. Five-Heddle Weave Stainless Steel Wire Mesh is a robust and versatile material known for its exceptional strength and filtration capabilities. The unique five-heddle weaving process creates a tightly knit structure with superior dimensional stability, making it ideal for precise filtration in industries such as chemical processing, food production, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the mesh’s robustness and versatility make it suitable for architectural and decorative purposes. The primary advantages of Five-Heddle Weave Wire Mesh include its high mechanical strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures, ensuring long-term reliability and performance in various demanding environments.

Five-Heddle Weave Wire Mesh Weaving Process

The Five-Heddle Weave Wire Mesh weaving process is a specialized method that involves using five heddles in the loom to create a tightly knit and stable structure.

• Warp and Weft Preparation: The process begins with the preparation of warp and weft wires. These wires are usually made of high-quality stainless steel or other durable metals, selected based on the desired mesh characteristics.
• Loom Setup: The loom is set up with five heddles, which are frames that hold the warp wires. Each heddle controls a group of warp wires, allowing them to be lifted or lowered in a specific sequence.

Weaving Sequence: The weaving sequence involves a repetitive and intricate pattern:

• The first heddle lifts certain warp wires, while the others remain stationary.
• The weft wire is then passed through the opening (shed) created by the lifted warp wires.
• The second heddle lifts a different set of warp wires, allowing the next weft wire to be inserted.
• This process is repeated with each heddle lifting specific warp wires in a sequence that creates a tightly interlocked weave pattern.

Quality Control

• Tightening and Adjusting: After each insertion of the weft wire, the weave is tightened and adjusted to ensure uniformity and stability. This tightening process helps in maintaining the mesh’s dimensional stability and strength.
• Inspection: Once the weaving is complete, the mesh is inspected for consistency, accuracy, and any defects. Quality control ensures that the mesh meets the required specifications for its intended application.
• The use of five heddles allows for the creation of a weave that is more complex and tightly knit than simpler weaving patterns. This process results in a wire mesh with superior strength, stability, and precision, making it ideal for demanding filtration and separation tasks as well as architectural applications.
• Weft Sequences: The Five-Heddle Weave Wire Mesh incorporates “one and four” and “two and three” weft sequences to create its distinctive tightly knit structure. In the “one and four” sequence, the first heddle lifts every fourth warp wire, while the fourth heddle lifts the alternating set of warp wires, allowing the weft wire to pass through the alternating spaces. In the “two and three” sequence, the second and third heddles lift different sets of warp wires in a staggered manner, creating a consistent yet staggered pattern across the mesh. This staggered weaving on successive warp wires enhances the mesh’s dimensional stability and strength, providing superior filtration capabilities and a robust structure.

Material

• 304 (UNS S30400): A standard austenitic stainless steel offering good corrosion resistance and formability.
• 304L (UNS S30403): Similar to 304 but with a lower carbon content, making it ideal for welding applications to minimize carbide precipitation.
• 316 (UNS S31600): Offers enhanced resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion compared to 304, making it suitable for harsher environments.
• 316L (UNS S31603): Similar to 316 but with a lower carbon content for improved weldability.

Mesh Count and Wire Diameter

These specifications significantly impact the mesh’s filtration capabilities and structural integrity.

• Mesh Count: This refers to the number of openings per linear inch (or per centimeter). Common mesh counts range from 20 mesh (8 openings/cm) to 100 mesh (40 openings/cm).
• Wire Diameter: This determines the size of particles the mesh can filter and its overall strength. Wire diameters typically vary from 0.2 mm (0.008 inches) to 1.0 mm (0.039 inches).
• Example: A 20 mesh count with a 0.8 mm (0.031 inches) wire diameter offers robust filtration for larger particles, while a 100 mesh count with a 0.2 mm (0.008 inches) wire diameter is suitable for fine particle filtration tasks.

Standard Shapes and Sizes

Five-Heddle Weave Wire Mesh comes in various pre-defined shapes to suit different applications:

• Rolls: Full roll lengths are commonly available in 30 meters (98.4 feet) or 50 meters (164 feet), offering ample material for various projects.
• Cut-to-size Sheets: These are custom-sized pieces cut from larger rolls to meet specific needs.

Standard roll widths cater to diverse industrial requirements:

• 1 meter (39.4 inches)
• 1.22 meters (48 inches)
• 1.5 meters (59 inches)

Customization

• Mesh Count: Beyond the standard 20 to 100 mesh range, customization allows for precise filtration down to micrometer levels.
• Wire Diameter: Specific tolerances can be achieved for desired strength and filtration performance.
• Roll Length and Width: Customizable lengths and widths ensure the mesh perfectly fits unique application requirements.

Typical Standards and Packaging

For consistent quality and performance, Five-Heddle Weave Wire Mesh adheres to rigorous industry standards:

• ASTM E2016: This standard ensures wire cloth specifications are met across different batches.

Packaging plays a crucial role in protecting the mesh during transportation and storage:

• Cardboard Tubes or Wooden Crates: Sturdy packaging prevents damage to the mesh.
• Plastic Wrap: Rolls are often wrapped in plastic to guard against moisture and contamination.
