Stainless Steel Plain Dutch Weave Mesh

Stainless Steel Plain Dutch Weave Mesh – Fine Filtration Explained

Introduction
Plain Dutch weave mesh employs finer weft wires woven twice across each warp wire, yielding a tight, fine-filtration structure. Anping CREMOTIVE Wire mesh products CO., LTD offers plain Dutch weave mesh for applications demanding sub-micron separation.

Weave Characteristics

• Double Weft Crossing: Two fine weft wires cross over each warp wire, then under the next—nesting to create slit-like apertures.

• High Open Area: Despite small openings, the diagonal arrangement maintains reasonable open area for flow.

• Controlled Filtration: Apertures as small as 10 µm provide consistent retention of fine particles.

Material and Grade Selection

• 316L Stainless Steel: Standard for pharmaceutical and semiconductor filtration.

• 304 Stainless Steel: Cost-effective for less aggressive environments.

• Special Alloys: Nickel–molybdenum alloys for high-temperature gas filtration.

Manufacturing Insights

1. Micro-Wire Drawing: Achieving 0.05–0.15 mm wire diameters requires multiple cold-drawing stages.

2. Precision Weaving: Looms with micron-level control ensure uniform aperture height and width.

3. Void Ratio Control: Adjusting wire diameter and spacing fine-tunes permeability and strength.

Applications

• Pharmaceutical Filtration: Clarifying biological fluids and vaccine production.

• Semiconductor Manufacturing: Particle removal in ultrapure water systems.

• Gas Separation: Fine dust removal in air pollution control equipment.

Conclusion
Plain Dutch weave mesh from Anping CREMOTIVE Wire mesh products CO., LTD excels in high-precision filtration. Its double-weft structure yields reliable retention of fine particles while maintaining throughput.
