Five-layer sintered wire mesh is made by stacking selected woven meshes and bonding their contact points during sintering. The laminate combines the fine passages of the control mesh with the handling strength of coarser supporting layers. The bonded sheet holds its layer alignment during cutting, forming and assembly into reusable metal filters.
The 1.7 mm series covers nominal grades from 1 to 100 µm in the discrete combinations listed below. Air permeability is expressed as volume flow per unit area at a pressure difference of 1000 Pa. Use the grade and permeability together when allocating filtration area for a liquid or gas process. Liquid viscosity, temperature and solids loading complete the element design inputs.
Sheet formats are 500 × 1000, 600 × 1200 and 1000 × 1200 mm. Cut blanks become discs, annular elements, flat panels and cylindrical filters. Define the active filtering area, sealing margin and finished outline together. For cylindrical fabrication, the seam and end fittings complete the filtration boundary; for panels, the frame carries installation loads.
Backwashing, ultrasonic cleaning and chemical cleaning are selected around the deposit and stainless grade. Inspect the laminate thickness, flatness, cut edges and layer continuity, then record the agreed flow or integrity measurement. A repeatable cleaning assessment compares the clean element at the same flow, fluid temperature and pressure difference.
The five-layer sheet is the starting medium. A finished component adds an outline, active area and sealing interface. Keep the feed face and backing face identified through cutting and forming. The filtration-rating and permeability table describes this 1.7 mm-thick laminate series; each completed disc, panel or cylinder adds its own support and connection geometry.
Five-layer woven laminate combines protection, control, drainage and two support meshes. A six-layer laminate adds a distinct support layer. A square-mesh composite uses a different woven layer arrangement; a perforated-plate composite bonds filtering mesh to a plate backing. These are separate material structures, each identified by its layer sequence and finished thickness.
The layer sequence connects filtration, flow distribution and mechanical support.
| Layer | Function | Position |
|---|---|---|
| Protective mesh | Shields the fine control layer | Feed side |
| Control mesh | Sets the nominal filtration grade | Below protective mesh |
| Drainage mesh | Distributes flow across the support | Middle layer |
| Support mesh 1 | Backs the fine layers | Downstream |
| Support mesh 2 | Reinforces the laminate | Back face |

Rigid bonded blanks provide a filtering surface with an integral backing structure.
Formed and joined laminates create cylindrical media walls for metal filter cartridges.
Flat sheets combine defined filtering grades with frame-mounted installation.
The outer mesh protects the fine control mesh. A drainage mesh distributes flow, and two backing meshes support the laminate.
A six-layer construction adds a backing layer for increased structural support. Layer sequence and finished thickness identify the construction.
Compare air flow per unit area at the same pressure difference. The table on this page uses 1000 Pa.
