As a supplier of stainless steel wire mesh for many different industries and applications, Steellong produces a wide variety of woven wire meshes. Our production program for square mesh ranges in aperture sizes from 0.025 mm to 14 mm. And in addition to our standard program, which is always readily available from stock, we also run lots of special productions for customer-specific applications.

Requirements in the area of fine filtration are met by using micronic meshes with filter grades ranging from nom. 1 µm upwards.Also for that range of filtermedia, stock productions and customer specific productions are combined.And the plain weave and twilled dutch weaves used in this field, as well as the corresponding support meshes, are also a part of our needs-oriented warehousing program.

Depending on the application, the production width is up to 3 m. For filtration of high viscous media,steellong produces Optimized Plain Dutch Weave filtermedia with filter grades ranging from 10 µm up to 80 µm.In many cases this is supplied from rolls or strips ready for final fabrication by filter manufacturers in final production steps.

This filament-wire connection made of stainless steel offers two advantages, high porosity with absolute homogeneous pore structure and high mechanical stability. Retention rates are ranging from 3 µm up to 100 µm. High mechanical strength coupled with flexibility does allow highly efficient surface and depth filtration with a single filter media.

The distinctions between the stainless steel material
Type 304 is often referred to as "18-8" ( 18% chromium, 8% nickel ) with the basic stainless alloy most commonly utilized for wire cloth weaving. It withstands outdoor exposure without rusting and resists oxidation at an elevated temperature up to 1400 Degrees Fahrenheit.

Type 304 L is very similar to T-304, the difference being the reduced carbon content for better weaving and secondary welding characteristics.
 
Type 316 Stabilized by the addition of 2% molydbenum, T-316 is an "18-8" alloy. It has better resistance to pitting corrosion than the other chromium-nickel stainless steels where brines, sulphur-bearing water or halogen salts, such as chlorides are present. A valuable property of T-316 is high creep strength at elevated temperatures. Other mechanical properties and  fabricating characteristics are similar to T-304.
