Knitted Wire Mesh-Seals Gaskets

Knitted wire mesh filter is manufactured as a flattened knitted tube of any material available as a filament (e.g. metal wires, plastics, glass fibers, carbon fiber etc.) forming a continuous strip of double layer mesh up to 1000mm wide. This mesh can then be onward processed into a wide range of specialized engineered products.

Knitted mesh can be produced in a variety of stitch patterns additionally.

metal meshes can also be crimped in a diagonal or herringbone pattern.

This allows the free volume and specific surface area of filters to be adjusted to suit pressure drop limitations and efficiency requirements.

Wires and other filaments can be flattened to increase specific surface area and efficiency.

Any material that can be drawn or spun into filament form can be used to produce a knitted mesh structure for use in the manufacture of our products including:

1. Stainless steel – grades 304L, 316L, 321, 310 and 310S are typical for long life, temperature and corrosion resistance

2. Galvanised steel–for low-cost, less demanding applications

3. Aluminium–for numerous aerospace, military and nuclear applications

4. Copper–in compressed form, for breathers and nickel filters

5 .Nickel and copper nickel alloys – for use in marine or saline environments

6. Polypropylene – lightweight, inexpensive and corrosion resistant

7. Hostaflon and Teflon FEP fluoro polymers for excellent performance in acidic environments.

8. Glass wool and Teflon for the filtration of very fine particles

9. Plastic / multi-filaments – for high-efficiency applications and noise reduction
