Stainless Steel Tabby Weave Mesh Supplier China

Stainless Steel Tabby Weave Mesh

Introduction
Stainless steel tabby weave mesh, also known as tabby weave or twilled weave mesh, is distinguished by its diagonal pattern created by alternating warp and weft wires. This structure offers greater flexibility and enhanced open area compared to plain weave while maintaining considerable strength. Anping Cremotive Wire Mesh Products Co., LTD specializes in producing high-quality stainless steel tabby weave mesh tailored to advanced industrial and architectural applications.

Understanding Tabby Weave Construction
In tabby weave mesh, each weft wire passes over two warp wires and then under two warp wires in a repeating pattern. This creates a distinct diagonal or twilled effect, which can be seen on both sides of the mesh. The twill pattern results in a mesh that is more pliable and has a slightly higher percentage of open area than a comparable plain weave mesh, making it ideal for applications requiring both strength and exposure.

Material Selection and Wire Characteristics
Our tabby weave mesh is produced using the same stainless steel alloys as our plain weave products—primarily AISI 304, 316, and 316L. The wire surfaces undergo acid pickling and passivation to remove surface impurities and develop a protective chromium oxide layer. This treatment enhances corrosion resistance and ensures long-term cleanliness in critical environments.

Manufacturing Excellence
Anping Cremotive employs computerized weaving machines with programmable patterns to achieve the precise twill structure required for tabby weave mesh. Tension control units and visual inspection systems ensure each wire is correctly placed, and any minor misalignments are flagged for correction. Our facility maintains ISO 9001 certification, underscoring our commitment to consistent product quality.

Available Configurations
We offer a wide array of tabby weave mesh options, including:

• Mesh Count: From 4 mesh to 200 mesh

• Wire Diameter: From 0.12 mm up to 3.00 mm

• Aperture Size: From 0.05 mm to 6.00 mm

• Open Area: Typically 5 % to 45 %, depending on weave density

• Roll Lengths: Standard up to 30 meters, customizable lengths also available

We can supply mesh in full-width rolls, cut panels, rings, cones, and other formed parts to suit filtration cartridges, screens, or architectural installations.

Typical Applications

1. High-Precision Filtration

• Pharmaceutical: pre-filtration and sterile filtration

• Water treatment: removal of fine particulates in membrane pretreatment

2. Catalysis and Chemical Processing

• Catalyst support beds in reactors

• Gas distribution in fluidized bed systems

3. Architectural Screening

• Decorative sunscreens with controlled light diffusion

• Acoustic panels for sound attenuation in interior spaces

4. Food Processing

• Sieving of flours, spices, and granular food products

• Drip screens and conveyor belts

Performance Attributes

• Increased Open Area: Twill pattern allows more flow for comparable mesh sizes, reducing pressure drop.

• Enhanced Flexibility: Twilled structure delivers greater resilience to bending and forming operations.

• Excellent Mechanical Stability: Despite a looser appearance, tabby weave maintains robust strength under tension.

• Corrosion and Heat Resistance: Suitable for temperatures up to 600 °C in 304 grade, higher for 316 when needed.

Quality Control Procedures
Every mesh produced is subjected to a thorough inspection regimen:

• Optical Weave Analysis: Verifying the correct ratio of over-under passes and checking for uniformity.

• Mechanical Testing: Confirming wire tensile properties and overall mesh tensile strength.

• Dimensional Verification: Precise measurement of aperture size and open area percentage.

• Surface Examination: Ensuring there are no residual contaminants or surface defects that could compromise performance.

Technical Consultation and Custom Services
Clients working with challenging process conditions benefit from our technical consultancy. We assist in selecting the optimal weave parameters—mesh count, wire diameter, and alloy grade—to balance flow, retention, and mechanical demands. Custom services include welding for modular filter elements, edge reinforcement, and assembly into multi-layer filter packs.
