A mesh of stainless steel is formed by a ensemble of wires tidily intertwined with each other and with the corresponding tension. Must meet a criteria indicated by the ISO 9044 standard, both with regard to its properties and tolerances as well as the system of inspection and verification of the metal fabric.
The parameters that identify a steel mesh filter are different from those of filter papers. The most important are:
- Mesh opening (w): is the length of the bisector of the square that forms the mesh.
- Diameter of wire (d): diameter of the wire before weaving..
- Mesh (p): sum of the mesh opening (w) and the wire diameter (d).
- Useful surface of sifted material (Fo): is the relation between the area of the openingsand the total area of the mesh. Fo = (w/p)2 x 100, expressed in %
- Weight: (G): for metallic materials of stainless steel, G = 12.61 x (d2/p), expressed in kg/m2.
Regarding the quality of the material, stainless steel type AISI 304 or 316.
The range is formed by filters with mesh opening from 20 to 900 µm.
