Understanding Wire Mesh Retention Ratings: Nominal vs. Absolute Micron Retention
Wire mesh is a versatile material consisting of parallel rows and intersecting columns of wire. It comes in many different shapes, sizes, weave designs, materials and metal alloys for a number of industrial and manufacturing applications. Among the specifications used to describe wire mesh are the terms Nominal and Absolute retention rating, but what exactly…
Read MoreMicron Mesh Filters – Part Two: Balancing the Durability and Aperture of Filter Mesh
For this series on understanding wire mesh for filtration, in part one we discussed different mesh weaves and their roles in filter design. Here in part two, we will consider factors that degrade mesh performance as it relates to mesh aperture. When choosing a micronic mesh for a filter application, key variables often overlooked are…
Read MoreMicron Mesh Filters – Part One: Evaluating 6 meshes each with a 60 micron retention.
Selecting a micron wire mesh can be a daunting task. To better understand the complexities of mesh selection overall, let’s consider the more limited example of just choosing a 60-micron filtration mesh. We will first discuss some of the variables in what you expect the mesh to accomplish, followed by a comparison of the ways…
