Inspection Protocol Summary

MutualFilter QA-SOP-401

100% Traceable

Dimensional & Aperture Verification

Optical coordinate measuring and digital microscopy to verify aperture size (w), pitch (p), and open area percentage across roll width.

Wire Diameter & Ovality

Laser micrometer checks across warp and weft wires ensuring compliance with wire gauge standards and minimal cross-sectional distortion.

Visual Weave Defect Auditing

Full-width backlit inspection tables detecting loose wires, bent warp, oil contamination, diagonal distortion, and wire splicing flaws.

Alloy Grade & Mechanical Integrity

XRF PMI alloy verification is available for applicable products and specific orders upon request, alongside tensile and surface finish cleanliness evaluations.

Quality Assurance Framework

Wire Mesh Inspection Procedures

Our step-by-step quality control protocol guarantees dimensional precision, verified alloy purity, and reproducible micron performance in compliance with international B2B standards.

STEP 01•ASTM E2016 / ISO 9044
Visual & Surface Inspection
Optical magnification & defect mapping
100% Batch Certified

Operational Description

Every roll undergoes continuous high-intensity backlight visual inspection to identify surface irregularities, draw marks, cross-wire defects, contaminants, or broken warp/weft wires.

Inspection ParameterTarget Acceptance Criteria
Surface ConditionFree from grease, scale, scratches & oxidation
Weave UniformityNo double wires, missing wires, or slackness
Magnification Scope10x to 50x optical stereo zoom analysis
Edge QualityClean selvedge or laser-slit burr-free edges

Application Relevance

Critical for food, sanitary, and ultra-fine chemical screening grades.
