Selection workflow
Build the specification from retained particle size, fluid, pressure, temperature, cleaning and acceptable pressure loss.
Define the duty
Record what must pass, what must be retained and the operating conditions.
Define the construction
Choose opening, wire, weave, material, size, edge and support arrangement together.
Validate the result
Use samples, drawings, process tests or site measurements where failure has operational or safety consequences.
Translate duty into measurable fields
Build the specification from retained particle size, fluid, pressure, temperature, cleaning and acceptable pressure loss. For Wire Mesh for Industrial Filtration, write what must pass, what must be retained, the acceptable loss or contamination, and the operating rate. Add temperature, corrosion, cleaning, abrasion, impact and support conditions.
Build the construction as a system
Opening, wire diameter, weave, material and open area influence one another. A finer opening can reduce throughput or increase blinding; a heavier wire may improve durability while reducing open area. Frames, backing mesh, tension and edge details may control performance as much as the cloth itself.
Validation plan
- Use representative process material rather than an idealized particle only.
- Test at realistic feed, flow, pressure or vibration conditions.
- Record retained and passing fractions, throughput and cleaning interval.
- Inspect edges, supports and high-wear zones after the trial.
RFQ handoff
Attach the chosen geometry, material, overall size, edges, quantity and validation criteria. State what is mandatory and what suppliers may optimize. For safety guarding, load-bearing or regulated service, obtain the required engineering and compliance review instead of relying on a selection article alone.
