0.104mm Hole Stainless Steel 316 Woven Wire Cloth – 0.05mm Wire – 165 LPI

Description

Stainless Steel Woven Wire Mesh

0.104mm hole 316 stainless steel woven wire mesh 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 woven wire, crafted from marine-grade stainless steel, offers a blend of durability and delicate finesse. Resembling the texture and feel of fabric, cloth, or even silk, this product provides a fine mesh structure with 165 holes per linear inch, totaling an impressive 27,225 holes per square inch. Such precision ensures consistency across the mesh, making it ideal for applications that demand a delicate but strong barrier.

The individual wire has a thickness of 0.05mm, which means where wires intersect, there’s a slightly thicker structure, ensuring both durability and flexibility. The square hole size, or aperture, stands at 0.104mm, ensuring a balance between breathability and filtration, with 46% of the mesh being open area. This ensures the woven wire is not only sturdy but also permits adequate airflow or fluid movement based on its usage.

One of the standout features is its ease of handling. Though made of stainless steel, its fabric-like nature allows it to be cut using standard kitchen scissors. In some instances, you can even tear it with your fingertips, highlighting its versatility and ease of use.

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.
