Filter Assemblies
Gerard Daniel has been one of the top global wire mesh filter manufacturers for decades. Our engineers and application experts work on many different types of filters and filter systems. These types of wire mesh filters are generally a grade of micron mesh or wire cloth made in Stainless Steel, Nickel, Inconel and other high Nickel alloys. Our application experts can work with you on your filtration projects, assisting with filter design components and the selection of the correct wire mesh or cloth to meet your requirements.
Gerard Daniel is an experienced pressure leaf filter manufacturer; who provides standard circular and sectional leaf filters for pressure vessels using both filter cloth and wire mesh at 60 to 110 micron mesh for cake filtering systems.
Tank Internal / Multi-Media & Vessel Filters fit in large tanks and filter water and other contaminants. Typically they are wedge wire filters, sometimes including wire mesh. We also fabricate the header, hub, and nozzles. These products provide filtration solutions for resin, multimedia, and walnut shell filters.
We supply Pleated Wire Mesh Filters mostly for fuel and oil filtration, pleating the mesh (or cloth) to allow the most amount of throughput while still maintaining a micron filtration solution, typically of 30 to 180 micron mesh. These types of filters typically have a supporting core on the inside (such as perforated or expanded metal or low mesh count square weave mesh) needed due to the pressure exerted on the pleated cloth. Pleating the cloth also gives a large surface area to catch the contaminants.
Gerard Daniel’s Inline mesh filters fit systems from leading OEMs. Sizes range from less than a milliliter to over 100 liters and 50 to 450 micron mesh for filters. Inline filters are often used as fuel injector screens; used when dealing with fuel and oil, this is typically a funnel, conical cup, or small-shaped disc which fits in the delivery pipe and prevents large particles from reaching moving parts in the engine. Also often referred to as valve filters, which are commonly used to prevent clogging within systems.
Gerard Daniel produces most sizes and types of wire mesh filters and strainers in stainless steel and other metals, including micron mesh filters in the range of 20 – 75 microns. Also we offer a wide range of secondary operations for processing, forming, as well as skilled engineering and testing to improve flow rates or capture and sort more solids. For ongoing orders, Gerard Daniel can supply inventory management and Just-in-time delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about square/plain weave wire mesh.
Square weave wire mesh, also known as plain weave wire cloth, is woven by passing each warp wire alternately over and under each shute wire, creating uniform square openings. This classic weave pattern delivers excellent stability, consistent aperture size, and versatility for filtration, screening, and architectural applications.
Gerard Daniel offers several variations of plain weave mesh, including square plain mesh, square twilled mesh, market grade mesh, bolting cloth (tensile bolting cloth), and mill grade mesh. Each differs in wire diameter, mesh count, and open-area percentage to meet specific flow, strength, and precision needs.
Our square wire mesh is available in stainless steel (304, 304L, 316, 316L, 321, 347, 430), Monel®, Inconel®, Incoloy®, nickel, Aluminum, brass, bronze, and copper. We also carry low-carbon steel (C1008) and DFARS-compliant stainless alloys for government and aerospace applications.
In plain weave, each wire crosses over and under one wire at a time, providing stability and fine filtration control. In twilled weave, each wire passes over two and under two adjacent wires, producing a smoother surface and greater strength — ideal for applications under high mechanical stress.
Market grade square mesh is the most commonly used industrial wire cloth, offering a balanced combination of wire diameter and mesh count for general-purpose screening, sieving, and filtering in chemical, mining, food processing, and construction industries.
Tensile bolting cloth is a fine plain-weave mesh made from smaller wire diameters to achieve higher open area and precise particle control. It’s widely used in sifting, powder coating, and liquid filtration processes that require accurate separation.
Mill grade mesh bridges the gap between market grade and bolting cloth. It provides slightly higher open area for efficient separation, making it a preferred choice for dewatering, particle classification, and general screening operations.
We stock over 5,000 mesh types ranging from coarse openings (2 mesh) to fine meshes over 500 mesh. Most rolls are 48 inches wide and a hundred feet long, with custom widths, slit rolls, and laser-cut shapes available upon request.
Yes. If your specification isn’t in stock, we can weave custom mesh in any alloy, wire diameter, or mesh count to meet your filtration or architectural requirements. We also offer laser cutting, stamping, and slitting for made-to-order parts.
Every mesh roll is inspected for weave accuracy, wire diameter consistency, and open-area uniformity. As both a manufacturer and user of our own wire cloth in filtration and separation systems, we maintain strict quality control and repeatable performance standards across all mesh grades.
