Direct Factory OEM Wire Mesh Panels Supplier
Product Overview
As a direct factory OEM supplier, we manufacture wire mesh panels to the exact dimensions, material grade, and surface finish required by your equipment or structural design. This eliminates intermediary handling and allows tight control over production tolerances and lead times.
Material and Construction
Wire mesh panels are produced from drawn wire that is either welded at intersections or woven in a plain Dutch or twill pattern. Common base materials include low‑carbon steel (ASTM A36), stainless steel grades 304 and 316L, hot‑dip galvanized steel, and aluminum alloy 5052. Wire diameters typically range from 0.8 mm to 6.0 mm, and the mesh opening (clear space between wires) can be specified from 2 mm up to 100 mm, depending on the weaving or welding process.
Dimensional Tolerances
Panel width and length are cut to customer‑specified sizes with a standard tolerance of ±0.5 mm for lengths up to 2000 mm and ±1.0 mm for longer panels. Thickness (wire diameter) is held to ±0.05 mm for drawn wire, which translates to a panel thickness tolerance of approximately ±0.1 mm for single‑layer meshes. Squareness of cut edges is maintained within 0.5 mm per meter.
Surface Finishes
To suit environmental exposure, we offer several surface treatments: hot‑dip galvanizing (minimum coating 55 µm Zn), electro‑galvanizing (8‑12 µm Zn), powder coating (epoxy or polyester, 60‑80 µm dry film), PVC dip coating (0.5‑1.0 mm thickness), and passivation for stainless steel (to enhance corrosion resistance). Each finish adds a defined barrier that can be quantified by salt‑spray test duration (e.g., 500 h for hot‑dip galvanized).
Mechanical Properties
The tensile strength of the base wire determines the panel’s load‑bearing capacity. For low‑carbon steel wire (0.8‑6.0 mm dia) typical tensile strength ranges from 350 MPa to 550 MPa. Stainless steel 304 wire offers 500‑750 MPa, while 316L provides 550‑800 MPa. Open area percentage, calculated as (opening area / (opening + wire diameter)²) × 100, varies from less than 10 % for fine meshes to over 80 % for coarse screens, directly affecting flow rate and pressure drop in filtration applications.
Typical Applications
In concrete construction, wire mesh panels with 2‑mm opening and 1.5‑mm wire are used as slab reinforcement to control cracking and improve tensile strength. Machine guards often employ 5‑mm opening, 3‑mm wire, powder‑coated panels to provide visibility while containing debris. Architectural façades utilize perforated stainless‑steel meshes with 20‑mm opening for shading and aesthetic patterning, where wind load calculations rely on the panel’s drag coefficient. Chemical processing plants select PVC‑coated meshes with 0.8‑mm wire and 5‑mm opening for corrosive fluid filtration, benefiting from the coating’s chemical resistance rating.
Customization Options
Customers can specify wire diameter, opening size, panel shape (rectangular, circular, or custom cut‑outs), edge treatment (plain, folded, or framed with steel angles), and surface finish. Additionally, we can integrate secondary operations such as perforating, bending, or attaching mounting hardware directly during production, reducing the need for post‑fabrication steps.
Quality Assurance Process
Incoming wire is inspected for diameter, tensile strength, and surface defects using calibrated micrometers and tensile testers. During welding or weaving, in‑process monitors check intersection strength and mesh uniformity. Final inspection includes visual examination, dimensional verification against the approved drawing, and, upon request, mechanical testing (tensile or shear) and corrosion‑resistance testing. Documentation of inspection results is provided with each shipment.
