Stainless steel sintered woven wire mesh is a specialized type of woven wire mesh commonly used in filtration and separation applications. Here’s what each term means:
1. **Stainless Steel**: This refers to the material of construction, which is stainless steel. Stainless steel is chosen for its corrosion resistance, durability, and suitability for applications where hygiene and cleanliness are important.
2. **Sintered**: Sintering is a process where powdered material is formed into a solid mass without melting it completely. In the context of stainless steel mesh, sintering involves compacting and bonding the individual wires of the mesh together under heat and pressure. This creates a porous structure with uniform pore sizes throughout the material.
3. **Woven Wire Mesh**: Woven wire mesh is a grid of intersecting metal wires woven together in a regular pattern to form a mesh. This mesh can have various patterns such as plain weave, twill weave, or Dutch weave. The choice of weave pattern affects properties like strength, filtration capability, and flow rate.
Stainless steel sintered woven wire mesh combines the strength and durability of stainless steel with the uniform porosity and filtration properties of sintering. It is used in a wide range of applications including filtration of liquids and gases, fluidization, dust control, chemical processing, and more. The controlled pore size distribution makes it particularly useful for applications where precise filtration is required.
