Products Description
We are a professional manufacturer of 316/316L stainless steel wire mesh, possessing a complete production system for wire drawing, weaving, and deep processing, enabling us to provide high-quality, customized wire mesh solutions. Our 316/316L stainless steel wire mesh is made of molybdenum-containing austenitic stainless steel, exhibiting excellent corrosion resistance, particularly suitable for seawater, chlorine-containing, or chemical media environments.
It is more resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion than 304 stainless steel mesh, while the low carbon content of 316L ensures minimal intergranular corrosion during welding and high-temperature processing. Our stainless steel wire mesh is available in various weaves, including plain weave and twill weave, with precise aperture and consistent wire diameter, suitable for various filtration, screening, and separation applications. Products can be supplied in rolls, sheets, filter cartridges, and other deep-processed components according to customer requirements, and OEM/ODM customization is supported, including mesh count, wire diameter, aperture ratio, and strength parameters.
316/316L stainless steel wire mesh is widely used in chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, seawater desalination, water treatment and environmental protection industries. It can work stably for a long time in high temperature, high humidity and corrosive environments. We also provide material certification and technical support to ensure that every batch of products meets strict industry standards and customer requirements.

● High mechanical strength: can withstand high pressure and strength requirements.
● Good high temperature performance: suitable for filtering and screening work in high temperature environment.
● Strong processability: can be processed into roll net, sheet net or welded products according to needs.
● Sanitary safety: meets food grade and medical grade standards, non-toxic and harmless.
● Various weaving types: such as plain weave, twill weave, Dutch weave, etc., to meet the filtering needs of different precisions.
● Strength and Durability: Each wire undergoes stress-regulated drawing for consistent diameter and excellent fatigue resistance, enabling stable performance in high-temperature, high-humidity, or long-term operating conditions.
● Customizable Production: Wire diameter, mesh count, aperture, weave type, and mesh structure can be tailored to meet specific industrial applications and unique operational requirements.
● Low Maintenance, Long Service Life: Corrosion- and wear-resistant properties reduce maintenance frequency, extend equipment life, and lower overall operational costs.
● Manufacturer Advantage: As a direct manufacturer, we provide material certifications, technical support, and full traceability, ensuring every batch meets strict quality standards and customer specifications.





● Plain Weave: Each warp wire alternates over and under each weft wire, creating a simple and sturdy structure with uniform openings. Ideal for general filtration, screening, and separation applications.
● Twill Weave: Warp and weft wires cross over multiple strands in a diagonal pattern, producing a stronger mesh with more stable apertures. Suitable for high-strength filtration or demanding operating conditions.
● Dutch Weave: Features thicker warp wires and finer weft wires, forming a dense mesh with precise micro-apertures. Commonly used for liquid and gas filtration or fine particle separation.
● Reverse Dutch Weave: Finer warp wires and thicker weft wires create a tight, pressure-resistant mesh, designed for specialized micro-filtration applications in industrial processes.
We provide fully customizable weave types, wire diameters, and mesh counts to meet specific filtration requirements and industrial applications.
