Wire Mesh for Industrial Filtration and Screening

Which wire mesh is used for industrial filtration and screening?

Short answer: Use woven wire mesh: 4-10 mesh for coarse screening, 20-60 mesh for medium and 100-400 mesh for fine filtration, in SS304 or SS316 where chemicals are involved.
Industrial filtration uses woven wire mesh (also called wire cloth or wire screen) - the mesh count (wires per inch) determines what particle size gets filtered. Common specifications: 4 mesh to 10 mesh for coarse screening of aggregates and coal. 20 mesh to 60 mesh for medium filtration in chemical and pharmaceutical applications. 100 mesh to 400 mesh for fine filtration. Material grade depends on chemical exposure: GI or MS woven mesh for non-corrosive applications, SS304 woven mesh for food grade and general chemical resistance, SS316 woven mesh for high-chloride and acidic environments. Mining screens (vibrating screens) use crimped wire mesh in heavy gauges. Please share your application, the particle size to be filtered, and the chemical environment - we will recommend the exact specification.
