Welded wire mesh, or welded wire fabric, or "weldmesh" is an electric fusion welded prefabricated joined grid consisting of a series of parallel longitudinal wires with accurate spacing welded to cross wires at the required spacing.

Machines are used to produce the mesh with precise dimensional control. The product can result in considerable savings in time, labour and money.

Uses of welded wire mesh

[

The welded wire mesh is a metal wire screen that is made up of low carbon steel wire or stainless steel wire. It is available in various sizes and shapes. It is widely used in agricultural, industrial, transportation, horticultural and food procuring sectors. It is also used in mines, gardening, machine protection and other decorations.

Weld mesh is the term given to the kind of barrier fencing that is manufactured in square, rectangular or rhombus mesh from steel wire, welded at each intersection.

Welded wire fabric (WWF) is also sometimes used in reinforced concrete, notably for slabs.

Types of welded wire mesh

There are several types of welded wire mesh which can be categorized according to their structure, use, and characteristics.

This type of mesh is a square grid of uniformly placed wires, welded at all intersections, and meeting the requirements of ASTM A185 and A497 or other standards.[1] The sizes are specified by combining the spacing, in inches or mm, and the wire cross section area in hundredths of square inches or mm2. The common sizes are in the following table:

Imperial Size Metric Equivalent Weight Imperial Weight Metric 6x6 W1.4/W1.4 152x152 MW9.1/MW9.1 20 lb/100 sf 0.98 kg/m2 6x6 W2.1/W2.1 152x152 MW13.1/MW13.1 30 lb/100 sf 1.47 kg/m2 6x6 W2.9/W2.9 152x152 MW18.7/MW18.7 41 lb/100 sf 1.99 kg/m2 6x6 W4.0/W4.0 152x152 MW25.8/MW25.8 56 lb/100 sf 2.73 kg/m2 6x6 W5.4/W5.4 152x152 MW34.9/MW34.9 76 lb/100 sf 3.72 kg/m2 4x4 W1.4/W1.4 102x102 MW9.1/MW9.1 30 lb/100 sf 1.46 kg/m2 4x4 W2.1/W2.1 102x102 MW13.3/MW13.3 43 lb/100 sf 2.40 kg/m2 4x4 W2.9/W2.9 102x102 MW18.7/MW18.7 61 lb/100 sf 2.96 kg/m2 4x4 W4.0/W4.0 102x102 MW25.8/MW25.8 83 lb/100 sf 4.06 kg/m2 4x4 W5.4/W5.4 102x102 MW34.9/MW34.9 119 lb/100 sf 5.82 kg/m2

Electro galvanized welded wire mesh with square opening

]

This type of mesh wire is generally made up of plain steel wire. At the time of processing it goes through a hot zinc covering process. This type of welded mesh ware with square opening is ideal for animal cage structuring, fabricating the wire boxes, grilling, partition making, grating purposes and machine protection fencing.

PVC coated welded mesh

PVC coated welded mesh with plastic covering is constructed with galvanized iron wire of high quality. It has PVC powder covering that is processed by an automatic machine. The smooth plastic coating on this corrosion protective wire is attached with a strong adhesive which make increases durability of the wire. It is used in fencing residential and official properties like gardens, parks, building etc. The PVC coated welded mesh which is available as both rolls and panels, is also available in different colors like white, black, green etc.

Clean water is needed in a variety of industrial applications. From food and beverage needs to agricultural and industrial applications, clean water is crucial to many industries. Metal mesh filters are a sustainable, useful way to achieve clean water for these applications. Sintered wire mesh is known as a highly reliable filtering cloth and uses multiple layers of woven wire cloth to filter out contaminants as small as one micron. Sintered wire cloth is ideal for water filtration due to its strength, its resistance to corrosion, ease of cleaning, and its long lifespan.

 

Sintered Wire Mesh with Perforated Metal for Agricultural Use

One of the important factors in a lot of large scale industrial uses, is finding material that can not only last but be customized to meet specific needs. Sintered wire mesh works well for many of these applications due to its versatility and durability. For instance, in the agriculture and irrigation industry, many clients have found success with sintered wire mesh with perforated metal. For this specific application, sheets of sintered wire cloth are welded into tubes and welded to form cylindrical filters to use for water filtration. 

 

Customizable Woven Metal Mesh to Filter All Mediums

Woven metal mesh can be used to filter far more than just dirt and contaminants out of water. Lawrence Sintered Metals offers wire mesh with openings so small, clients have the ability to filter things invisible to the naked eye. Some wire mesh openings are so small, you have the ability to separate liquids and gasses. 

316L stainless steel wire mesh screen is an optimal choice for many of these applications because it is resistant to pitting by solutions containing chloride ions, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and brine solutions. This option is useful for many businesses that need to filter gases, liquids, and solids.

 

Wire Mesh Used to Filter Sea Water Through Ballast Water Management Systems

Whether it&#;s for industrial-use, home-use, or environmental use, wire mesh can be used for all. Shipping vessels used to transport items worldwide are crucial to the world economy and require their own ballast water filtration management systems to maintain local ecosystems and meet global regulations from organizations such as The International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships&#; Ballast Water and Sediments. 

These ships must treat and filter their ballast water before dumping it into the ocean when traveling from port to port. Ballast water is the water held in the ballast tanks and cargo holds of shipping vessels. This water is used to provide stability and maneuverability during a voyage when ships are not carrying cargo or not carrying enough heavy cargo, as well as when more stability is required due to rough seas.

Lawrence Sintered Metals products made of corrosion-resistant Type 904L Stainless Steel or Duplex Stainless Steel can be used in self-cleaning automatic sea water filters that are incorporated into these ballast water management systems. These filters can be manufactured in a wide range of micron ratings, lengths, and diameters, with configurations including perforated metal.

 

Woven Wire Mesh for Household Applications

Woven wire mesh is another great material that can be used in filtration systems. While we&#;ve mentioned a variety of industrial applications for wire mesh products and their filtration benefits, there are also household uses for the same materials. In your kitchen sink, the last thing you want to have happen is solids getting stuck in your pipes. A stainless steel wire mesh strainer or drain filter is essentially a screen installed to allow water to pass through, but not larger items. The larger items fall to the bottom or are held in a basket for later clean out.

 

5-Layer Sintered Wire Mesh Used as Nutsche Filters to Filter Out Water

Just as woven wire mesh can be used to filter clean water, it can also be used to filter water out. In pharmaceutical research and development, the need to rid a mixture of its water is highly important to the process of creating medication and vaccines. For this application, 5-layer sintered wire mesh is an ideal material, due to the filter medium having the ability to operate under a wide variety of temperatures and pressures while maintaining its opening size.
