14 Mesh Plain Weave Wire Cloth
14 Mesh Plain Weave Wire Cloth: Precision Screening for Industrial Applications
14 Mesh Plain Weave Wire Cloth is an industrial screening solution defined by 14 precise openings per linear inch. With a wire diameter range of 0.27mm to 0.7mm and corresponding aperture range of 1.12mm to 1.56mm, this versatile mesh provides the ideal balance between screening accuracy and flow rate for various industrial processes. The plain weave construction ensures consistent opening size and structural stability, making it suitable for both precision filtration and heavy-duty screening applications.
When sourcing 14 Mesh Wire Cloth, understanding three key specifications is crucial: wire diameter, aperture size, and material grade. These factors significantly impact performance, durability, and cost. At our manufacturing facility, we offer comprehensive customization including wire diameter selection, material options, and widths up to 3 meters to meet your specific application requirements.

Material Selection Guide
-
Stainless Steel 316: The preferred choice for applications requiring enhanced corrosion resistance. The addition of molybdenum provides superior performance in harsh environments, including those exposed to chlorides and chemicals. Ideal for chemical processing, marine applications, and food processing equipment.
-
Stainless Steel 304: A versatile, cost-effective option suitable for general industrial applications where extreme corrosion resistance is not required. Provides excellent performance in most screening and filtration environments while offering good value.
-
Specialty Alloys: We can supply various other alloys to meet specific environmental challenges, including high-temperature applications or extreme chemical exposure.
Primary Industrial Applications
Sand and Gravel Screening
14 Mesh Plain Weave Wire Cloth serves as an efficient medium for aggregate classification in trommel screens and vibrating screens. The optimal aperture size allows for effective separation of fine particles while maintaining adequate flow rates for processing bulk materials.
Plastic Extrusion Systems
In plastic manufacturing, this mesh performs dual functions as both a support layer and coarse filtration medium in extruder systems. It effectively filters contaminants while providing structural support for finer filter layers downstream in the filtration stack.
Dry Material Classification
The consistent opening size makes 14 Mesh ideal for sorting and grading various dry materials in food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and chemical processing industries. The plain weave pattern ensures accurate particle separation with minimal blinding.
