T304 Stainless .010" Wire Dia. 36 Inch Wide 40 Mesh

Mesh Per Inch: 40
Wire Diameter: 0.0100

Square mesh is used in the areas of screening and filtration.
Steellong produces meshes in its standard program with mesh opening of 0.025 mm up to 14 mm (industrial wire mesh).Depending on the aperture, the woven wire meshes are manufactured as plain weaves (1/1) or as twilled weaves (2/2).
The standard materials used are the stainless steels AISI 316 and 316L.
Depending on the type of mesh, standard production widths range from 1.3 m to 3 m.
Customer-specific orders make up a large part of the production volume of our weaving department.

Plain Dutch Weaves are important components in the range of filter media which we supply for filtration grades of about 40 μm.The cloth is manufactured in a plain pattern (1/1) in which die intervals of the warp wires are greater than between the weft wires. The surfaces of Plain Dutch Weaves are closed and filtration takes place at the crossing point of warp and weft.
These weaves have a considerably greater mechanical stability than plain open square meshes. Our available stock of Plain Dutch Weaves, with openings ranging from nom. 40 μm up to nom. 85 μm, cover most of the needs for filter media in industrial filtration.Plain Dutch Weaves are used in drum filters, nutsch-type filters and in cartridge filters.
The materials used for these stock items are the stainless steels AISI 304 and 316.

Twilled Dutch Weaves are produced by weaving with fewer, thicker warp wires and a large number of thinner weft wires. Using the twilled weaving pattern (2/2), it is possible to create light-proof meshes. The available media range from 1μm nom. opening up to 50 micron opening. Due to the very high mesh density this weaving pattern ensures extremely robust weaves even with very small apertures, making Twilled Dutch Weaves the optimal choice for a wide variety of filtration applications and filtration equipment. These meshes are used in nutsch-type filters in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, in various types of precoat filter systems as well as in cartridge filter systems. These stocks are produced using the standard materials AISI 304L/316L, but customer specific productions can also be supplied on request.

The two basic metal types: Alloy Type 304 and Type 316

T304 is the basic stainless alloy, and unless otherwise specified it is assumed that this type is acceptable. Also called 18-8 due to 18% chromium and 8% nickel. T304 melts at 2600 degrees F (1430 C) but its maximum recommended temperature for continuous service is 1450 degrees F. (790 C) and is useful for intermediate service up to 1650 degrees F (900 C). Its' uses include: sorting and screening of abrasives, liquids, powders and other solids. It is the less expensive alloy but not as corrosion resistant as T316.
Type 316 is a special stainless alloy due to the addition of 2% molybdenum. This increases its resistance to corrosion by salts, acids and seawater. Also called 18-10 due to 18% chromium and 10% nickel. T316 melts at 2500 degrees F (1375 C) but its maximum recommended temperature for continuous service is 1500 degrees F. (815 C) and is useful for intermediate service up to 1650 degrees F (900 C). Its' uses include: processing of oils and foods, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
