Wire Mesh: The Basics - UWC

How is Wire Mesh Made?

Wire mesh is available in two main constructions:

For more information, please visit our website.

• Welded Wire Mesh is constructed with a series of straightened wires stacked across each other, forming a grid. An industrial welding machine fuses each intersection, creating the exact opening required.

• Woven Wire Mesh employs industrial looms similar to those used with fabrics and may come in a variety of weaves and crimp types. This construction has wires that pass over & under each other, forming a pattern.

Woven and welded mesh is available in various specifications, making them versatile for large and small projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is stainless steel wire mesh?

Stainless steel wire mesh is a type of wire mesh made from stainless steel, known for its corrosion resistance, durability, and strength. It is widely used in various industries for applications that require a long-lasting and resilient material.

What are the benefits of using welded wire mesh?

Welded wire mesh offers several benefits, including high strength, durability, and versatility. It is made by welding intersecting wires to form a solid and stable grid. This construction is ideal for applications requiring strong, rigid, and secure mesh, such as fencing, cages, and construction reinforcement.

How do I choose the right metal mesh for my project?

Choosing the right metal mesh depends on several factors, including the application, environment, and required specifications. Consider the material (e.g., stainless steel for corrosion resistance), the weave type (woven or welded), and the mesh count (the number of openings per linear inch). Consulting with a wire mesh supplier can help you determine the best option for your needs.

What is mesh count, and why is it important?

Mesh count refers to the number of openings per linear inch in a wire mesh. It is an important factor because it determines the mesh’s filtration capability, airflow, and particle size retention. A higher mesh count indicates smaller openings, suitable for finer filtration, while a lower mesh count allows for larger openings and higher throughput.

Can stainless steel wire mesh be customized?

Yes, stainless steel wire mesh can be customized to meet specific project requirements. Customizations can include different wire diameters, mesh counts, weave types, and sheet sizes. Many suppliers offer bespoke solutions to ensure the wire mesh fits the precise needs of your application.
