Stainless Steel Woven Wire Cloth
Precision-woven from 304, 316, and 316L stainless steel wire, Jiushen's woven
wire cloth delivers consistent aperture control from 1×1 mesh down to 635×635
mesh.
Stainless steel woven wire cloth — also referred to as wire mesh, wire screen,
or wire fabric — is manufactured by interlacing stainless steel wires in a
precise over-and-under pattern on industrial weaving looms. The result is a
dimensionally stable, corrosion-resistant fabric whose controlled, repeatable
apertures make it the preferred filtration medium across chemical processing,
food production, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and mining industries
worldwide. At Jiushen, every roll is woven in our 15,000 m² facility in Anping
County and inspected against ASTM E2016 / E2814 standards before shipment.
Unlike welded wire panels, woven wire cloth achieves extremely fine openings —
down to 20 µm in plain weave and below 2 µm in Dutch twill configurations —
while maintaining the flexibility needed for fabrication into filter discs,
cylinders, cartridges, and flat panels. Jiushen offers eight weave
architectures, five stainless steel alloy grades, and a maximum single-weave
width of 2,700 mm, backed by an annual production capacity of 8,000,000 m².
Weave architecture directly determines flow rate, pressure drop, particle
retention, and mechanical strength. Jiushen produces all major industrial weave
configurations on dedicated looms, each optimized for specific service
conditions.
1. Plain Weave (Square Weave)
One wire over, one wire under, with equal wire diameters in warp and weft
directions. The most common construction, offering a balanced open area and
mechanical stability across a wide mesh count range from 1×1 to 635×635.
Aperture sizes range from approximately 21.4 mm down to 20 µm depending on mesh
count and wire diameter.
2. Twill Weave
A two-over, two-under offset pattern that accommodates heavier wire diameters
at higher mesh counts. Produces a denser, more robust cloth for demanding
mechanical screening and sieving applications where plain weave would be too
fragile at the same mesh count.
3. Plain Dutch Weave
Fine warp wires woven over heavier, closely packed shute wires to create a
gradient-porosity structure. Delivers absolute filtration ratings from 18 µm to
340 µm. Widely preferred for liquid filtration systems, hydraulic oil
strainers, and petrochemical separation equipment.
4. Twill Dutch Weave
A two-over, two-under Dutch construction that achieves absolute filtration
ratings down to 2–3 µm, making it one of the finest mechanical filtration
media available in standard woven wire cloth. Ideal for polymer melt filtration
and pharmaceutical fine filtration.
5. Reverse Plain Dutch Weave
A high warp wire count woven through lighter shute wires, delivering superior
mechanical strength perpendicular to the warp direction. Ideal for high-
pressure back-flush applications, candle filter elements, and tubular filter
fabrication.
6. Reverse Dutch Twill Weave
Twill Dutch weave in reverse orientation, maximizing shute-wire density for
fine absolute ratings (15–530 µm nominal) while retaining high differential
pressure resistance. Commonly selected for candle filters, leaf filters, and
high-flow process vessels.
7. Herringbone Weave
Alternating twill blocks reversed at regular intervals create a V-shaped
chevron surface pattern. Provides a visually distinctive, flat finish that is
popular in architectural cladding, decorative infill panels, and premium
industrial applications.
8. Five-Heddle Weave
A one-over, four-under satin-type pattern that produces a smooth, nearly flat
surface on one side. Preferred for conveyor belt underlays and any application
where minimal contact friction on the mesh surface is required.
All incoming wire is verified on arrival using an in-house spectrometer and
universal tensile testing machine in compliance with ASTM A580/A580M-18. Each
spool is labeled, segregated, and stored by order number to ensure full raw
material traceability.
Custom alloys including 321, 347, 904L, Duplex 2205, and Hastelloy are
available on request. Please contact our engineering team with your service
