Cost-Effective Woven Mesh for Screening, Filtration, Protection and General Industrial Use
304 stainless steel wire mesh provides good corrosion resistance, stable woven structure and versatile performance for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. It is commonly selected for general filtration, screening, guarding, ventilation panels and fabricated mesh components.
304 stainless steel wire mesh is one of the most widely used woven mesh materials because it combines practical corrosion resistance with economical cost and a broad supply range. Compared with 316L stainless steel wire mesh, 304 mesh is more suitable for general-purpose environments where extreme chloride resistance is not the first priority.
It can be supplied in rolls, cut sheets, filter discs and fabricated parts. Common weave options include plain weave, twill weave, plain Dutch weave and twill Dutch weave, allowing buyers to match the mesh structure to screening, support, ventilation or filtration requirements.| Product Name | 304 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh |

304 mesh is a cost-effective option for buyers who need good corrosion resistance without the higher cost of molybdenum-bearing grades.
Suitable for screening, guarding, filtration, ventilation panels, sieves and general fabrication in many industries.
Available in plain, twill and Dutch weave structures to support both open-area screening and denser filtration requirements.
|
Plain Weave The most common woven structure. Each wire passes alternately over and under adjacent wires. Suitable for general screening and broad industrial use. |
Twill Weave Provides a tighter woven structure and supports finer mesh counts. Often selected where better stability or finer screening is required. |
|
Plain Dutch Weave A denser weave structure with controlled filtration openings. Commonly used in process filtration and pressure filtration applications. |
Twill Dutch Weave Designed for finer particle retention and liquid filtration, combining dense weave performance with strong structural integrity. |
When choosing 304 stainless steel wire mesh, buyers should not look at mesh count alone. Mesh count, wire diameter and opening size work together and directly affect filtration, strength and flow rate.
The following table is for general reference only. Actual selection depends on application, required filtration opening, mechanical strength and fabrication needs.
| Mesh Count | Wire Diameter (mm) | Approx. Opening (mm) | Open Area (%) | Typical Characteristic | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 0.60 | 1.94 | 58.3 | Coarse mesh, high flow | Screening, guards, ventilation |
| 20 | 0.40 | 0.87 | 46.9 | Balanced strength and opening | General industrial screening |
| 40 | 0.25 | 0.39 | 37.7 | Medium-fine mesh | Sieving and general filtration |
| 60 | 0.19 | 0.23 | 29.5 | Finer mesh, smaller openings | Fine screening and filter support |
| 100 | 0.10 | 0.15 | 34.9 | Fine mesh for controlled opening | Light filtration and separation |

304 stainless steel wire mesh is more economical and widely used for general-purpose screening and filtration. 316L stainless steel wire mesh offers better resistance in chloride-containing, marine or more corrosive environments.
Yes. It can be supplied in rolls, standard sheets, cut-to-size panels, discs and fabricated mesh parts according to the required application.
Plain weave is commonly used for general screening. Twill weave is suitable for finer mesh structures. Plain Dutch weave and twill Dutch weave are usually selected for filtration applications requiring controlled openings.
Please provide material grade, weave type, mesh count, wire diameter, opening size if known, roll width, roll length or sheet size, quantity and end use.
Send your mesh count, wire diameter, weave type, roll size or application. SAKY STEEL will review the requirement and provide a suitable quotation with technical support.
