Wire cloths - Type of weaving

Plain wave

  • also known as the plain weave
  • one thread of the warp is connected to one thread of the weft and the other way round
  • rigid form of the bond
  • precise size of the mesh
  • universal wire cloth for all purposes

Twilled weave

  • one thread of the warp is connected to two or more threads of the weft and the other way round
  • the bond is not that rigid and that is why this wire cloth is especially useful for shaping
  • thicker wires can be used and the wire cloth can be rigider

 

Plain weave

Square mesh

Properties:
  • square meshes
  • warp and weft equally strong
  • easy to clean
  • identical apertures
  • good force of flow
  • relatively big open surface (up to 81%) and consequently hardly any losses of pressure during filtration
Main areas of application:
  • it can be used for almost all kinds of filtration of up to around 63u

Rectangular mesh

Properties:
  • lengthwise and widthwise meshes
  • the same as the square mesh netting, but the meshes are not as dense
Main areas of application:
  • the same as the square mesh wire cloth

Plain Dutch weave

Properties:
  • ?zero?-aperture
  • weft wires thicker than wrap wires
  • wrap wires are as close to one another as possible
  • great accuracy
  • hardly any losses of pressure during filtration
  • more stable than the square and rectangular mesh wire cloth
  • relatively great filtration surface
Main areas of application:
  • used for almost all filtration purposes

Multipore

Properties:
  • ?Zero? -aperture
  • kind of the plain Dutch weave wire cloth
  • filtration on the external layer
  • easy to clean
  • optimal flow force
  • stops impurities optimally
  • limited use for great differences of pressure
Main areas of application:
  • fine filtration in the controlling hydraulic elements and injection nozzles as well as in the filtration of lubricating oils in the hydraulic and fuel systems, especially if we need great flow forces and great stopping of impurities

Reverse plain Dutch weave

Properties:
  • ?zero?- aperture
  • weft wires thinner than warp wires
  • desired stability of the wire cloth
  • great endurance against breaking and great mechanical endurance against tightening in the direction of the warp and weft
  • equal accuracy of filtration
  • especially great flow force
  • easy to clean
  • great stopping of impurities
Main areas of application:
  • settling tanks and well filters
  • pressure filters and filter candles

Twilled weave

Square mesh

Properties:
  • square meshes; also rectangular meshes (lengthwise and widthwise)
  • warp and weft equally strong
  • not that rigid and consequently easy to shape
  • accurate size of meshes; the bigger mesh the thicker wire and consequently the more durable wire cloths
Main areas of application:
  • used mainly for filtration below 63 ?

5-haddle-weave (twilled, satin)

Properties:
  • broad mesh
  • strong wire at small aperture
  • this flat wire cloth wears out very much on one side
  • great flow force because of the open bottom surface of the wire cloth
  • easy to clean
Main areas of application:
  • drainage filters

Twilled Dutch weave

Properties:
  • ?zero?-aperture
  • very thick
  • dense layout of wires enables greater possibilities of rinsing
  • very low absolute accuracy of filtration (5-6 ?)
  • equally flat on both sides
  • better results of filtration for non-sticky utilities
Main areas of application:
  • fine wire cloth - fine filtration in the hydraulic utilities in the critical areas, for example in astronautics as well as in fuel filters and combustion chamber filters
  • thick wire cloth - settling tanks and well filters

Twilled reverse Dutch weave

Properties:
  • ?zero?-aperture
  • properties as in the reverse Dutch weave (plain weave), however, it is not as thick
  • even greater mechanical endurance against tightening in the direction of the warp and weft
  • greater endurance against breaking and cracking
  • greater flow force but considerably lesser accuracy of filtration
Main areas of application:
  • well settling tanks
  • pressure filters and filter candles
  • material filtration with great presures and levels of impurities
