Stainless steel woven mesh cylinders combine a defined wire-cloth opening with a welded cylindrical body, reinforced ends and flow-directed support. Plain, collared and flanged constructions fit pump inlets, removable housing inserts and process-water screens.

Woven mesh filter cylinders
Cutaway of a filter element showing the fine filtering layer, perforated support and end connection.Woven mesh filter cylinders — Product view
Wire cloth is cut to the developed circumference, rolled and joined along a longitudinal seam. The filtering surface is the woven cloth; the seam closes the circumference, and the end reinforcement keeps the cylinder round during insertion and removal. A single-layer tube, a cloth-lined perforated core and a cylinder with collars are distinct assembly configurations.
The component schedule separates the mesh grade and weave, perforated support, end rings, flange and handling fittings. The mesh defines the opening; the perforated core carries the radial load. End rings locate the cloth and protect the cut edge. A flange provides the mounting face, while a handle provides removal access. Stainless steel 304 and 316L are specified separately for the mesh and the fabricated parts.
The woven filtering layer includes duplex stainless grades UNS S31803, S32750 and S32760; Monel 400 and K-500; Inconel 600, 601, 625, 718 and X-750; Hastelloy B-2, B-3, C-22 and C-276; and pure nickel N2, N4, N6 and N8. These are separate wire-cloth material families. Duplex grades address corrosion-resistant stainless construction; Monel is a nickel-copper family; Inconel supplies nickel-chromium alloy options; Hastelloy provides grade-specific nickel-alloy choices; pure nickel supplies the unalloyed-nickel cloth branch. The assembly schedule identifies the filtering cloth, perforated support, end rings, flange and joining material individually. Naming the cloth alloy specifies that layer; each wetted structural part retains its own material entry.
For outside-in filtration, the mesh lies upstream of the inner support and retains solids on the outer surface. For inside-out filtration, the support lies outside the filtering layer and solids collect inside. Backwashing reverses the loading direction, so the assembly drawing also defines the support and attachment of the mesh during cleaning. The support openings remain passages behind the filtering cloth.
The displayed cylinder is Ø80 × 200 mm. Its square-opening cloth uses 20 mesh and 0.25 mm wire: pitch = 25.4/20 = 1.27 mm, clear opening = 1.02 mm, and geometric open area = (1.02/1.27)² = 64.5%. This percentage describes the wire cloth. Seam overlap, end rings and the support reduce the exposed area of the assembled cylinder.
Plain ends fit a retaining seat; collars provide an end datum; a flange establishes the bolted mounting interface. The drawing identifies finished diameter, length, seam location, seating width and the seal contact face. Install the cylinder with the support on the downstream side of the cloth and seat the ends evenly. The sealing path closes the route around the filter so the process stream passes through the mesh.
Inspect circumference and roundness, overall length, clear opening, seam continuity and exposed wire ends. Check the end fittings against the mating seat and inspect the assembled seal contact. Cleaning removes retained solids from the filtering face; inspect the seam and attachment points before returning the cylinder to service. Replacement specifications record the cloth opening, flow direction, installed dimensions and end connection together.
The rolled cloth closes at a longitudinal joint, while end rings or collars position the cylinder in the holder. Put the seam on the same assembly view as the support and end connections. State whether the edges meet or overlap and identify the contact side of any perforated backing.
Check diameter and roundness at several sections after joining, including the ends and the region beside the seam. Verify that the cloth stays fixed to its support and that cut wire ends are controlled. The replacement record includes seam position, end fit and the extraction path as well as cylinder diameter and length.

For square-opening cloth, the opening is 25.4 divided by mesh count minus wire diameter, with dimensions in millimetres. The displayed 20-mesh, 0.25 mm wire configuration has a 1.02 mm opening.
The woven cloth performs the screening. The perforated core supports the cloth and provides flow passages; its holes are a separate structural specification.
Outside-in filtration uses support inside the cloth. Inside-out filtration uses support outside the cloth. The assembly also defines retention during reverse-flow cleaning.
