Sintered Porous Metal Wire Mesh Filter Filtration is created through lamination and vacuum sintering of multiple layers of metal woven wire mesh. It offers exceptional properties and performance, including high compressive strength, uniform filtration precision, accuracy, resistance to filtration, mechanical strength, wear resistance, heat resistance, and processability. The filter utilizes multi-layer stainless steel wire, typically 316L or 304L, sintered with high-temperature vacuum, argon arc, or plasma welding. The wire diameter, mesh size, and weaving technique can be adjusted to modify hole size and distribution.

Questions

How to calculate the mesh number of sintered wire mesh?

Measuring the size of the mesh: Using a microscope or other suitable measuring tool, measure the size of a complete mesh in the sintered wire mesh. Usually, the size of the mesh refers to the distance from the center of the network cable to the center of the adjacent network cable.
Convert Dimensions to Inches: If using SI units such as millimeters, converts the mesh size to inches. Divide the millimeter dimension by 25.4 to get the corresponding inch dimension.
Calculate the mesh number: Calculate the number of mesh holes per inch, which can be obtained by dividing the length of 1 inch by the mesh size. For example, if the mesh size is 0.02 inches, the mesh number is 1/0.02=50.

Does the higher the mesh number of the sintered wire mesh mean the stronger the filtering ability?

Yes, the higher the mesh size of the sintered screen, the better the filter capacity. The mesh number is an index used to describe the number of mesh holes in the sintered wire mesh. The larger the number of mesh holes per inch, the smaller the pore size, which can more effectively prevent the passage of smaller-sized particles. Therefore, a sintered wire mesh with a higher mesh number enables finer filtration and captures smaller particles and particulates.
However, it should be noted that the mesh size is not the only factor that affects the filtration ability. Other factors, such as the material of the sintered wire mesh, the diameter of the wire, the shape and distribution of the mesh, etc., will also have an impact on the filtration effect. Therefore, when choosing a suitable sintered wire mesh, in addition to the mesh number, other factors need to be considered comprehensively, and the selection should be made according to the specific filtering requirements and application scenarios.

Compared with non-sintered filter mesh

Compared with non-sintered filter mesh, Sintered Porous Metal Wire Mesh Filter Filtration has the following advantages:

High filtration accuracy: The sintered wire mesh has been specially pressed and sintered to form a multi-layer metal braided wire mesh structure. This structure has uniform mesh size and distribution, which can achieve higher filtration accuracy and finer particle collection ability.
Better mechanical strength: Sintered wire mesh is firmly connected between the wire mesh layers through the sintering process to form an overall strong filter medium. In contrast, unsintered filters may be more prone to deformation, cracking or damage.
High temperature and corrosion resistance: Due to the use of metal materials and sintering process, Sintered Porous Metal Wire Mesh Filter Filtration has high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. It can work in high temperature environment and can handle various corrosive liquids and gases.
Washable and reusable: Sintered wire mesh is usually washable and reusable. With proper cleaning and handling, the filter element can be restored to good working condition, extending its service life and reducing maintenance costs.
Better flow and differential pressure characteristics: The design and construction of sintered wire mesh can provide high flow capacity and enable higher filtration efficiency at lower differential pressure. This gives it an advantage in applications that require high flow or are pressure sensitive.
