The Ultimate Guide To Woven Wire Mesh Filters

The Ultimate Guide To Woven Wire Mesh Filters

When it comes to designing and implementing mesh filters, three critical elements must be taken into account to ensure optimal performance. Your mesh supplier will need to know the wire diameter, opening size, and mesh count, as each of these factors significantly influences the effectiveness of the mesh filter.

• Wire Diameter: This refers to the thickness of each wire used to weave the filter.
• Opening Size: The gap between two wires in the mesh.
• Mesh Count: This indicates the number of openings per inch in any direction.

It is essential to use a good, better, best classification system when designing a mesh filter. The “good” category is achieved when one of the three elements is defined. The “better” classification indicates that two elements are known, while “best” refers to having all three elements identified.

For example, if you request a quote for 200 feet of filter cloth with a mesh count of 50 microns, the supplier can give a basic recommendation, but your specific requirements may not be fully met.

NOTE: When designing woven wire filters, you may need to convert mesh count to micron rating and vice versa. Utilize the following chart to facilitate your operational requirements:

Providing at least two of the three essential elements allows the mesh supplier to determine the third one. Consequently, having all three details is advantageous before contacting the supplier.

Requesting a sample is crucial as woven wire mesh filters represent a significant investment. By requesting samples of both cut pieces and fabricated components, you ensure satisfaction with bulk orders. When making this request, include the following information:

• Alloy
• Dimensions
• Weave Pattern
• Layer Configuration
• Quantity Needed

However, note some limitations regarding quantity and feasibility of sample requests. If the supplier lacks the capacity to produce the component or specification you need, your request may be denied. Additionally, the volume needed must align with the resources and labor required to produce the components.

Regarding costs, the expected price varies with the type of sample. Simple cut-to-size pieces tend to be cost-effective, while custom components incur higher charges due to complex labor and tooling requirements.

NOTE: The anticipated cost will rise with the complexity of the customized part.

After testing your sample, if its performance does not meet your expectations, schedule a meeting with the mesh supplier’s engineering team to explore improvement options. Whether it involves changing the weave pattern or considering alternative materials, working closely with the engineering team is vital to determine next steps.

Conversely, if you are satisfied with the sample, you should establish the number of finalized parts required and decide whether you need a purchase order or blanket order. After that, you can request a quote.
