Stainless steel woven wire mesh with equal mesh count horizontally or vertically has square opening, hence also called square opening wire mesh, or single layer woven wire. Square meshes come a result of Plain or Twilled weave.
The most commonly used types of weave applied forstainless steel wire mesh:
plain weave
twill weave
Dutch plain weave
Dutch twill weave
Wire Mesh Twilled Dutch Weave and Plain Dutch Weave
Wire Mesh Twilled Dutch Weave offers higher strength than regular Dutch Weaves. It packs even more wires in a given area. Generally, this weave has finer mesh counts and lower flow than other Dutch Weaves and can be made to filter particles as fine as 2 microns in diameter.
Wire Mesh Plain Dutch Weave is primarily used as a filter cloth. The openings slant diagonally through the cloth and cannot be seen by looking directly at the cloth. This kind of woven wire mesh has a coarser mesh and wire in the warp direction and a finer mesh and wire in the shute direction, giving a very compact, firm mesh with great strength.
