What is the mesh count of stainless steel wire mesh, and what is the relationship between mesh count and stainless steel wire mesh size?

The calculation formula of mesh number of stainless steel wire mesh = 25.4 / (wire diameter + mesh). One inch is 25.4 mm. It is a measure of the mesh range of values. It can be deduced that the mesh size is 25.4 / mesh - diameter, that is, the same diameter of stainless steel wire mesh is proportional to the mesh size, but if you change the size of the wire diameter, stainless steel mesh size remains the same, stainless steel mesh is inversely proportional to the diameter of the wire. In other words, in the premise of the same stainless steel mesh size, the coarser the wire diameter will affect the mesh size, the finer the wire diameter is larger. Mesh range is determined by the diameter of the wire mesh, and mesh size.

The smaller the stainless steel mesh, the same amount of stainless steel mesh, the coarser the diameter of the stainless steel mesh used, directly affects the production process of wire mesh, increasing the weave strength, enhancing the weld fire joint, but also the reason for the change in weight of stainless steel mesh, but also the reason for the change in the price range of wire mesh.

Stainless Steel Wire Mesh

How to Calculate Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Size and Weight

The main parameters of Stainless Steel Wire Mesh include the mesh, wire diameter, aperture, aperture ratio, weight, material, length, and width.
Among them, mesh, wire diameter, aperture, and weight can be obtained by measurement or by calculation. Here, I will share with you if you calculate the mesh, wire diameter, aperture, and weight of the stainless steel wire mesh.
Mesh: The number of cells in the length of one inch.
Mesh=25.4mm/(wire diameter+aperture)
Aperture=25.4mm/mesh-wire diameter
Wire diameter=25.4/mesh-aperture
Weight=(wire diameter) X (wire diameter) X mesh X length X width
Stainless steel wire mesh mainly includes Plain weaving, twill weaving, plain dutch weave, and twilled dutch weave

Plain Weave Wire Mesh and Twill Weave Wire Mesh form a square opening with equal mesh count horizontally or vertically. Hence woven wire mesh plain weave or twill weave is also called square opening wire mesh, or single layer wire mesh. Dutch Plain Woven Wire Cloth has a coarser mesh and wire in the warp direction and a finer mesh and wire in the weft direction. Dutch Plain Woven Wire Cloth makes an ideal filter cloth with a very compact, firm mesh with great strength.

Stainless steel wire mesh, with its excellent resistance against acid, alkali, heat, and corrosion, finds extensive uses processing of oils, chemicals food, pharmaceuticals, airspace, machine making, etc.
304 stainless steel wire mesh weaving methods, different weaving methods, and stainless steel mesh manufacturers will have different processing costs. Examples of stainless steel mesh and stainless steel crimped mesh. The trend of stainless steel mesh belt prices is closely related to the sales of stainless steel weaving nets. 

Mesh Count

We also call mesh count as mesh size, mesh number.

The numerical value indicates the number of openings / holes per linear inch of a woven wire mesh. We can say we need meshes, such as:

• 20 mesh Nichrome wire mesh
• 45 mesh Nichrome wire mesh
• 60 mesh Nichrome wire mesh
• 40 mesh Monel K500 wire mesh
• 20 mesh Hastelloy C276 wire mesh
• Usually, the larger the mesh number, the more openings per inch, the smaller the screen opening size, the smaller the particle that can pass through the mesh.

Wire mesh size is not only assigned a mesh number, but also denominated in microns. For example, we can say we need

• 40 micron mesh
• 70 micron stainless steel mesh
• 75 micron mesh screen
• 250 micron mesh screen
• 300 micron stainless steel mesh filter
• copper mesh 200 micron

Mesh size means the number of openings per inch. But micron tells us the nominal opening size, and they can convert to each other. For instance, from the stainless steel wire mesh screen sizes chart, we can figure out that
