Construction
Choose a weave, then define the finished component
- Square aperturea = 25.4 / N - d, where N is openings per inch and d is wire diameter in mm. With 100 mesh and 0.10 mm wire, a = 0.154 mm.
- Theoretical open areaFor square weave, open area = 100 × [a / (a + d)]². The 100 mesh example has about 36.8% open area before frames or supports.
- Dutch and reverse DutchDifferent warp and weft constructions form a tortuous pore path. Do not apply the square-aperture formula. Specify both wire sizes, weave and rating method.
- Mesh countOpenings per inch — a count, not a size. 1–635 mesh, counted over 25.4 mm under low magnification.
- Fabrication routeCut blanks become discs, screen packs, formed cups, cylinders or framed panels. Specify the weave and alloy before defining the rim, longitudinal seam, mounting edge and support.

Keep the weave specification with the material
A material name and a mesh count describe only part of a woven-cloth order.
Square weave orders pair mesh count with wire diameter and clear aperture. Dutch weave orders retain the warp and weft counts, both wire diameters and the filtration designation. Identify the warp direction on strips and shaped blanks so cutting, rolling and layer assembly follow the same orientation.
Stainless steel, Monel and commercially pure nickel remain separate material branches. Monel 400 and K-500 retain their own alloy identities; nickel N-series chemistry and its supply ranges retain their own definitions. Select the material page and the corresponding mesh specification together.
Plan the cut edge, seam and support
The usable filtering surface is established in the assembled part.
A cut disc, a rimmed screen pack and a welded cylinder need different edge treatments. Reserve the clamping band, rim width or seam allowance before calculating the exposed window. The support lies on the loaded side of the fine cloth and keeps the filtering layer in place through operation and cleaning.
For a replacement part, record the original outline, mesh orientation, layer order and fastening method. For a new design, select the cloth first and follow the appropriate product route for discs, packs, tubes, cups or frames. The woven specification tables preserve complete paired rows for the selected cloth.

What we need to quote cloth
Mesh count alone cannot reproduce a cloth. Aperture, wire diameter and weave have to be stated together, with the delivery form and any fabrication.

Applications
Square weaves handle screening and coarse filtration; dense Dutch weaves may be considered for retention below 40 µm, subject to the selected weave and test basis.
Square-opening screens
Discs, baskets and panels with defined geometric openings.
Fine filter cloth
Dutch weaves for supported discs and cylinders.
Continuous belts
Reverse-Dutch media where tension and tracking accompany filtration.
Screening and sizing
Aggregate, mineral, grain and plastics classification on square cloth from 4 to 200 mesh.

Alloy and mesh count are only part of the identification.
Wire and aperture
Measure the wire and openings in warp and weft.
Weave condition
Inspect broken wires, weaving defects and creases.
Orientation
Preserve cloth direction when slitting or cutting.
Component window
Check the exposed cloth, secured edges and support position in the assembled component; record the weave direction with the batch.

Questions before ordering
What does 100 mesh specify?
It specifies the number of openings per inch. With 0.10 mm wire, the calculated square opening is 0.154 mm; the paired wire diameter remains part of the specification.
How is Dutch weave selected?
Use the complete warp and weft construction, wire sizes and filtration designation. The structure guide compares plain Dutch, twill Dutch and reverse Dutch cloth.
Where is the support layer placed?
Place support behind the fine cloth in its loaded direction. Include reverse-cleaning flow when defining the layer arrangement and the edge attachment.
How are alloy choices recorded?
Keep the precise alloy designation with the weave and geometry. Monel 400, K-500 and commercially pure nickel are distinct material choices.
Which information connects a roll to a finished filter?
The cut outline, fabric direction, seam or rim, layer sequence and support define the component. Select the corresponding disc, pack, cylinder, cup or frame product.
