The filter mesh or, as it is also called, with zero cells is a specific mesh type of metal product that does not have light-transmitting cells. This is due to the fact that the metal rods fit snugly together without forming holes. With this construction structure, the base wire is thicker in diameter than the coil, which provides uniform filtration.
The main characteristics of the grid for the filter
Manufacturing is by the method of twill (C) or linen weaving (P) without the passage of wire. In the first case, the base rods are intertwined with the wire of the coil through two, in the second more densely, ie through one. Also used in the production of the third method - double-sided twill weave, which alternates between the two methods described above.
There are two most popular types - stainless and low carbon. The first, respectively, is resistant to corrosion, easily tolerates adverse conditions for the metal.
Let's move on to the description of the main characteristics of a quality type of filter mesh:
- the woven cloth is continuous, without area of breaks;
- there is a tolerance for splicing the ends of the wire;
- has a single width standard - 1000 mm;
- the quality corresponds to the GOST 3187-76 standard.
Why choose this species? Let's get acquainted with the advantages:
- heat resistance;
- wear resistance, respectively long service life;
- you can buy cheaply;
- ideal for filtering liquids;
- high bandwidth;
- the increased durability that allows to avoid deformation;
- functionality allows you to save on filter maintenance.
Areas of use
The origins of the use of filter mesh date back to the last century. It was invented to purify water from impurities. Since then, there have been no changes mostly intended, but the functionality has increased.
Methods of application:
- sieving and separation of fine particles;
- as a water filter;
- for dehydration and drying of solutions, soil, building materials, paper pulp;
- air purification;
- to filter under pressure;
- in the system of oil production in industry;
- during the construction of wells.
Summing up, the filter mesh is an indispensable universal material for washing solutions and extracting substances from wells.
