Standard Filtration
Standard 1:1 Over-and-Under Pattern
Square Plain Weave
Each weft wire passes alternatively over and under each warp wire at a 90-degree angle. Delivers uniform square apertures, predictable flow dynamics, and optimal rigidity for general industrial screening and liquid filtration.

Engineering Characteristics

  • Mesh Count Range: 2 to 500 Mesh
  • Wire Diameters: 0.025 mm to 2.0 mm
  • Aperture Geometry: Square Openings
  • Primary Use: Particle separation, sieving, liquid strainers

High-Pressure & Fine Micron
Heavy-Duty 2:2 Diagonal Interlock
Twilled Weave
Each warp and weft wire passes alternatively over two and under two consecutive wires. This enables the use of heavier wire diameters in ultra-fine mesh counts, yielding superior mechanical strength under high differential pressure.

Engineering Characteristics

  • Mesh Count Range: 100 to 635 Mesh
  • Wire Diameters: 0.020 mm to 0.45 mm
  • Aperture Geometry: Tight Square / Rectangular
  • Primary Use: Polymer extrusion, hydraulic filters, chemical processing
