0.091mm Hole 316 Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Sieve – 0.05mm Wire – 180 LPI

Description

Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Sieve

0.091mm hole 316 stainless steel fine mesh sieve material in top quality 316 marine grade made from 0.05mm wire. As you can see from the image this is a fine mesh specification. The holes are very small and not especially visible by naked eye. It is of interest to anyone who needs a fine mesh for any application. As a result of the fineness of the wires, you would be able to bend and fold this mesh by hand very easily.

The stainless steel fine mesh sieve is an elegantly designed material optimised for precision applications. Crafted from 304-grade stainless steel, it’s both durable and resistant to general corrosion, ensuring it maintains its integrity over time. The mesh boasts a mesh count of 180 holes per linear inch, translating to a remarkable 32,400 holes per square inch. This intricate layout is the bedrock of its fine filtering abilities.

With each wire exhibiting a thickness of 0.05mm, the overall structure thickens slightly at intersections where wires cross. This ensures the mesh maintains strength without compromising flexibility. The hole size or aperture of the mesh is 0.091mm, carefully calibrated to allow for optimal filtration. This design is complemented by an open area percentage of 42%, providing a balance between material strength and open space, optimising both airflow and filtration.

One of its standout attributes is its adaptability. Whether you’re using it in a technical setting or a home environment, adjusting its size is hassle-free. With the capacity to be cut using standard kitchen scissors or merely torn with fingertips, the mesh is as user-friendly as it is functional.

To encapsulate, the stainless steel fine mesh sieve is your answer to precise, reliable filtration. Whether employed in scientific settings, food preparation, or other industries, its uniform design, combined with the resilience of 304-grade stainless steel, ensures both efficiency and longevity in various applications.

Wire Cloth Specification

Below are the specifications of this fine woven mesh wire cloth:

• Mesh Count = 180 holes per linear inch. The amount of holes measured against a straight line inch
• Holes / Wires Per Square Inch = 32,400 holes per square inch. The amount of holes per linear inch squared
• Wire Thickness = 0.05mm. The thickness of each wire. The structure is thicker than this where two wires meet
• Hole Size / Aperture = 0.091mm. This is the square hole size from wire to wire
• Open Area % = 42%. The amount of the mesh that is open. The higher this number the more open a mesh is
• Cut With – Standard kitchen scissors or fingers alone. We would use fingertips to tear this mesh to size

You will find this 316 stainless steel wire mesh to be of interest if you require a very fine product for a filtration application. The stainless steel wire used to make this fine mesh is 316 grade, which provides excellent corrosion resistance.

Wait!! Before you order your mesh please first check out our clearance listing which is where we put all of our over-run bargain rolls at reduced prices. You never know, you might find just the roll that you need for your purposes.

We also offer a massive range of 304 stainless steel perforated metal sheet options from immediate stock. In order to produce stainless steel perforated metal sheet, flat sheet metal is punched with round or square holes. Perforated sheets are commonly often used in applications where the passing of air is required. Because the holes are punched, it is possible to have a far stronger finished metal product than it would be for the equivalent thickness in woven or welded mesh.

FAQs For This Product

What’s the Durability of the Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Sieve in Harsh Conditions?

The stainless steel fine mesh sieve, made from 304-grade stainless steel, is known for its durability and corrosion resistance under various conditions. Although it’s resistant to rust and many chemicals, it’s not completely indestructible. 304-grade stainless steel is particularly suitable for environments without high salinity or chlorine levels, as these can compromise corrosion resistance. In typical conditions, such as in home kitchens or general industrial settings, it lasts for a long time. Higher grades of stainless steel, such as 316, may be more suitable for environments with specific chemical exposures. Sieves can be made more durable and long-lasting by regular maintenance and cleaning.

What’s the Significance of the 42% Open Area in the Sieve?

The 42% open area in the stainless steel fine mesh sieve indicates the proportion of the mesh that is open or unobstructed. This percentage is significant for several reasons:

1. Filtration Efficiency: An open area of 42% strikes a balance between particle retention and flow rate. It ensures that while the mesh can efficiently filter out fine particles, liquids or gases can still pass through with relative ease.
2. Flow Rate: The open area directly impacts how quickly substances can move through the sieve. A 42% open area offers a moderate flow rate, making it suitable for applications where both filtration and flow are essential.
3. Pressure Drop: A mesh with a higher open area might have a lower pressure drop, allowing substances to pass through more easily, whereas a mesh with a lower open area might have a higher pressure drop due to increased resistance.
4. Material Strength: A 42% open area indicates a balance between the material used and the open space, ensuring that the sieve retains its structural integrity during use, especially when subjected to force or pressure.
5. Versatility: An open area around 42% is slightly on the closed side but is still versatile, making the sieve suitable for a variety of applications, from food processing to laboratory filtration.

What Liquids Can Be Filtered Through the Stainless Steel Fine Mesh Sieve?

Due to its corrosion-resistant properties, the stainless steel fine mesh sieve can filter a wide range of liquids. Among these are tap and distilled water for removing fine particulates, cooking oils for eliminating impurities, and even motor oils in certain industrial settings. As well as handling juices and wines, the sieve can ensure clarity and purity in a variety of beverages. This mesh can also filter many non-corrosive chemicals and solutions used in laboratories and industries. The mesh’s compatibility with highly acidic, alkaline, or saline solutions must be checked, however, to ensure longevity and maintain the integrity of the filtrate.
