FAQS on expanded stainless steel mesh

Q: What are the main applications of stainless steel expanded metal mesh?

A: Stainless steel expanded metal mesh is commonly used in filtration, architectural design, industrial safety guards, and machinery protection due to its durability, ventilation, and corrosion resistance.

Q: How does stainless steel mesh filter cartridge improve filtration efficiency?

A: The expanded stainless steel mesh structure provides high surface area and uniform pore size, ensuring effective particle retention, minimal pressure drop, and extended service life in liquid or gas filtration systems.

Q: What distinguishes expanded stainless steel mesh from woven wire mesh?

A: Expanded stainless steel mesh is cut and stretched from a single metal sheet, creating a seamless pattern, while woven mesh involves interlaced wires. Expanded mesh offers higher rigidity and lower material waste.

Q: Can expanded stainless steel mesh withstand high-temperature environments?

A: Yes, stainless steel grades like 304 or 316 used in expanded mesh provide excellent heat resistance, making them suitable for applications up to 800°C (1472°F) depending on the alloy and environment.

Q: How to clean and maintain a stainless steel mesh filter cartridge?

A: Rinse with water or mild solvents, use compressed air for debris removal, and avoid abrasive tools. Regular inspection prevents clogging and maintains optimal flow rates in filtration systems.
