Detailed Explanation of the Weave Structures of Black Metal Wire Mesh
Plain Weave: This is the most basic and widely used weaving method, with the simplest structure of “one over, one under”. The openings are regular squares, the structure is stable, and it is mostly used for undemanding coarse filtration and protection. Its mesh count generally ranges from 20 to 100 mesh.
Twill Weave: Each warp wire passes over and under two weft wires, forming a stronger diagonal pattern. Compared to plain weave, its openings are finer and denser, with higher strength, suitable for industrial scenarios requiring higher filtration precision and strength. This mesh is typically refined using a “four-wire” weaving method, with conventional mesh counts between 20 and 60 mesh.
Herringbone Weave: Also known as chevron weave, it forms a continuous “herringbone” pattern through a special wire threading method. This structure makes the mesh surface denser and firmer, with good pressure resistance, and is a standard choice in industries such as rubber and plastic pelletizing. Mesh counts are also concentrated between 20 and 60 mesh.
Dutch Weave / Dense Mesh: This is a special “contrast” weave, where the warp and weft wires differ completely in thickness and density. Through precise arrangement of thick and thin wires, it achieves extremely high filtration precision and strength. It is mainly used for precision filtration and screening, and can be further divided into plain Dutch weave and twill Dutch weave. It is typically used for high mesh count filtration from 60 to 150 mesh
