Stainless Steel Woven Mesh Filter Disc
Premium Black Wire Cloth for Industrial Filtration
Black wire cloth, also widely known as stainless steel woven mesh filter disc, low carbon steel wire cloth, or mild steel wire mesh, is a fundamental yet highly engineered product used across countless industrial sectors. Manufactured from super quality stainless steel and robust low carbon steel wire, our black wire cloth delivers exceptional tensile strength, outstanding corrosion resistance, and reliable long-term performance in even the most demanding filtration environments.
This versatile woven mesh serves as a critical component in separation, sieving, and filtration systems. Whether you require a durable mesh for high-volume sieving operations or precision-cut filter discs for specialized machinery, our black wire cloth provides consistent, repeatable results that engineers and procurement specialists trust worldwide. The material's inherent durability minimizes downtime and replacement frequency, offering a cost-effective solution for continuous industrial processing.
Available in a wide range of standard and custom specifications, our black wire cloth bridges the gap between robust mechanical strength and precise filtration accuracy. Its smooth surface finish and uniform openings ensure efficient flow rates while maintaining strict particle retention, making it an indispensable material for modern manufacturing, chemical processing, and environmental management applications.
Key Features and Performance Benefits
Every roll and component of black wire cloth is engineered to deliver measurable advantages in industrial settings:
- Uniform Holes: The precision weaving process ensures consistently sized apertures across the entire mesh surface, guaranteeing predictable and reliable particle size separation batch after batch.
- Smooth Surface: A clean, snag-free finish facilitates easy cleaning, prevents material buildup, and minimizes abrasion, extending the service life of the mesh in continuous operation.
- Long Service Life: Constructed from high-tensile, corrosion-resistant materials, our mesh withstands abrasive materials, elevated temperatures, and harsh chemical exposure without compromising structural integrity.
- High Tensile Strength: The woven construction provides excellent resistance to pressure, impact, and fatigue, ideal for high-flow filtration and heavy-duty sieving tasks.
Weave Patterns and Extensive Customization Options
We offer a diverse range of weave patterns to meet specific filtration requirements, each engineered to optimize flow rates, particle retention, and mechanical stability:
- Plain Weave: The most common pattern, offering a balanced combination of strength and open area for general-purpose straining and sifting.
- Twill Weave: Provides greater strength and allows for finer filtration with heavier wire diameters, enhancing durability under high pressure.
- Dutch Weave: Features wedge-shaped openings, ideal for high-pressure backwashing and fine particle retention in viscous fluids.
- Herringbone Weave: Exceptionally strong and used for heavy-duty conveyor belts, architectural mesh, and large-scale separation applications.
Our black wire cloth can be precisely processed into filter discs of various diameters, cut-to-size panels in all geometric shapes including squares, rectangles, and circles, across all available materials and mesh sizes. This level of customization ensures seamless integration into existing machinery, filter housings, and processing lines. Standard roll widths are available in 0.914m (36 inches), 1m, 1.2m, and 1.5m, providing ample coverage for large-scale filtration and sieving operations.
Detailed Technical Specifications
Understanding the relationship between mesh count, wire gauge, and aperture is crucial for selecting the correct mesh for your application. The Mesh/Inch refers to the number of openings in a linear inch. SWG (Standard Wire Gauge) indicates the thickness of the wire used. The Aperture (mm) is the precise size of the opening between the wires. The table below provides critical parameters for our standard range of black wire cloth meshes:
| Mesh/Inch | SWG ( wire gauge) | Aperture (mm) |
| 8meshx8mesh | 24 | 2.616 |
| 10meshx10mesh | 24 | 1.98 |
| 12meshx12mesh | 26 | 1.66 |
| 14meshx14mesh | 26 | 1.357 |
| 16meshx16mesh | 30 | 1.27 |
| 18meshx18mesh | 30 | 1.096 |
| 20meshx20mesh | 32 | 0.88 |
| 30meshx30mesh | 34 | 0.613 |
| 40meshx40mesh | 38 | 0.485 |
| 50meshx50mesh | 39 | 0.378 |
| 60meshx60mesh | 40 | 0.301 |
| 70meshx70mesh | 41 | 0.251 |
