Plain Weave Wire Mesh for general screening, sieving and filtration with square-aperture stainless steel wire mesh, where each wire passes alternately over and under the next — the most widely used woven wire cloth from coarse 2 mesh to fine 635 mesh. 19 sizes listed, with technical drawing and quotation.
Customize the parameters below — every spec field is editable, and the drawing redraws to match the values you choose. Changing the size will snap the other fields to that size's standard values; you can then override any individual value.

Dimensions & Specifications (ISO 9044 / ASTM E2016)
Every row below is a starting point for the customizer above — pick any specification row and the drawing will redraw to it.
Plain Weave Wire Mesh (ISO 9044 / ASTM E2016) is used for general screening, sieving and filtration with square-aperture stainless steel wire mesh, where each wire passes alternately over and under the next — the most widely used woven wire cloth from coarse 2 mesh to fine 635 mesh.
Mesh count and wire diameter: Specify both — two 100-mesh cloths with different wires have different apertures and open areas.
Aperture or micron: Quote the opening (mm or µm) you need to retain; the table converts mesh count to micron for every size.
Alloy & supply form: 304 for general use, 316L for chlorides and food CIP; rolls of 1–1.5 m width, cut sheets, discs or slit strip.
Materials
Standard supply is stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316/316L, brass, copper, Monel 400, Inconel 600; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.
Fitting & Care
Cut on a guillotine or with sharp shears and bind or weld the edges of fine cloth so wires do not unravel.
Support fine stainless steel wire mesh with a coarse backing screen whenever it filters against pressure.
Common Mistakes
Ordering by mesh count only and receiving a heavier or lighter wire than expected.
Using plain weave below about 40 µm, where twill or dutch weave carries the fine wire far better.
When Plain Weave Wire Mesh Is Not the Right Choice
Not the choice for filtration finer than about 25 µm or for very high pressure — use dutch weave, sintered mesh or a filter element instead.
Plain Weave Wire Mesh is stocked and supplied to order in rolls, cut sheets and fabricated pieces. Pricing starts from approximately US$3.00 per unit for standard specifications in stainless steel 304; final pricing depends on specification, alloy, quantity and fabrication (MOQ applies).

What is plain weave stainless steel wire mesh?
Woven wire cloth in which every warp and weft wire passes alternately over and under the next, giving a square opening.
What is the difference between wire mesh and wire cloth?
Nothing in practice — "wire cloth" is the trade term for finer woven wire mesh; both describe the same woven product.
Is 304 or 316 stainless steel mesh better?
316L adds molybdenum and resists chlorides, brines and food CIP far better; 304 is fine for dry or fresh-water service.
