Understanding the Ordering Process for Reverse Dutch Weave Wire ...

Reverse Dutch weave wiremesh is a common metal woven mesh in theindustrial filtration and construction industries, with unique filtrationand separation properties. The combination of thin and thick threads, with a complex weave, creates a sturdy structure that is ideal for allindustries. In order for you to receive the right woven mesh for you,the ordering process must be familiar.

You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.

The first step is to determine your specific requirements, including mesh size, wire diameter and material type. We primarily offer stainless steel, brass, nickel, aluminum, mild steel andother metal alloys, each offering varying degrees of corrosion resistanceand tensile strength.Understanding these basic specifications can helpyou communicate effectively with your weaving suppliers.

The next step is to seek cooperation with suppliers with high credibility.Research manufacturers specializing in the production ofwire mesh, and have agood track record of high-quality materials,transparent production processes,and strict quality control. Customer reviews and recommendations can besought to measure their reliability and quality of service.

After determiningthe reverse dutch weave wiremeshsupplier, you need to provide yourorder specifications. The supplier will provide a quote based on your request,including pricing, deliverytime and shipping methods. At this stage, we must payattention to the full solution of questions to avoid subsequent disputes andmisunderstandings.

Onceyou have received the quotation and agreed to the terms, you can proceed to place yourorder. Be worthit should be noted that the details including quantity, size and special instructions should be reconfirmed. Follow up order progress and resolve any potential issues in a timely manner.

Micron Wire Mesh 1: Compared by Weave Type - Gerard Daniel

Selecting a micron wire mesh can be a daunting task. To better understand the complexities of mesh selection overall, let’s consider the more limited example of just choosing a 60-micron filtration mesh.  We will first discuss some of the variables in what you expect the mesh to accomplish, followed by a comparison of the ways of weaving different characteristics into the mesh, then conclude with ways an experienced mesh partner can avoid costly and wasteful pitfalls. 

When you call a micron filter mesh supplier and tell them you would like a 60-micron mesh, to recommend the right one they will have several questions. Some you may have anticipated and others you probably did not. 

  • How much differential pressure will the mesh be subjected to?
  • What is the desired volumetric flow rate through the mesh?
  • How will the mesh be mounted?  Will it need a support structure?
  • Will it need to be pleated, punched, or formed?
  • Will the edges be welded, crimped, glued, hemmed, or over-molded with plastic?
  • How will all this be implemented for manufacturability, accounting for material cost and availability?

After considering your answers to these questions, your mesh expert will consider a variety of nominally 60-micron mesh weaves and a few close matches.  They’ll think about which one’s unique characteristics would make it the most suitable one for your application.

Wire Mesh Weaves and Specifications

Square Weave Mesh

The first four on the list are what most people think a micronic woven filter is: a square weave, like the familiar bug screen, only finer.  In fact, square meshes that fine tend to be too fragile for most filtration applications.  Research shows that prior to reaching out to a mesh expert, only about 1-in-5 customers know that different mesh weaves other than square-weave exist. 

Dutch Weave Mesh

A variety of Dutch-weave meshes were developed to be more durable than square weaves for filtration.  A Dutch weave is one in which the warp wire is larger than the shute wire, and a reverse Dutch weave is one in which the warp wire is smaller than the shute wire.  With these weaves, the larger, more widely spaced wires add strength while tightly spaced smaller wires maintain the micron retention.  The complexity of these weaves means that predicting how easily fluid passes through the mesh is more complicated than just measuring the open spaces between wires.  Instead, flow resistance must be determined either by:

  1. comparing flow rates of a sample compared to a calibrated standard, then calculating the pressure-drop coefficient for that mesh – or
  2. by real-world measurement of the pressures on either side of the mesh in situ.

Wire Mesh Weave Comparison

Once a mesh’s micron retention and anticipated particle accumulation rate have been considered, the next step is to determine how much surface area of mesh is needed to meet the overall filtration requirements.  

Consider the Shape of your Filter and Filter Mesh

If the necessary surface area is less than space allotted for the filter, rolling, pressing, or pleating the mesh into a shape is necessary to increase the surface area for the filtrate to pass through. This means the manufacturability of the weave chosen needs to be considered.  Once formed, how will it be held in place? Will the filter need frequent cleaning?  Will it be cleaned by back flow, or by removing the filter from its housing?  Will it need to be welded to a support structure to facilitate that cleaning or to make removal practical? 

Some of the more robust Dutch weave meshes are too stiff for a pleating machine, whereas others are too thin for a welding machine.  One mesh might have a 1% improvement in flow rate but a 500% increase in cost.  

When it comes to selecting a woven wire filtration mesh, each of these factors and more are why early collaboration with a mesh filtration application engineer is an opportunity to sort the practical from the possible.

Partner with a Mesh Expert

Talking to a mesh expert about your 60-micron filtration needs, or any other inquiry you may have about wire mesh, will not just help you to avoid common costly pitfalls; it will get you the mesh that is optimal for the job instead of merely sufficient.
