What is 30 Mesh Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Used For?

Are you looking for reliable, high-precision 30 mesh stainless steel wire mesh? Whether you need robust filtration, insect screening, or industrial-grade sifting, our stainless steel wire cloth offers exceptional durability, precise aperture sizes, and superior corrosion resistance.

What Does “30 Mesh” Mean?

In the wire mesh industry, mesh count refers to the number of openings per linear inch (25.4 mm).

If you place a standard ruler on our 30 Mesh screen, you will count exactly 30 holes per linear inch. The actual clearance (aperture) of each hole depends on the wire diameter chosen for your specific application.

Premium Material Options: SS 304 vs. SS 316

To meet diverse industrial and environmental demands, we supply 30 mesh wire cloth in two primary alloy grades:

1. Standard Grade 304 Stainless Steel (SS 304)

Best For: General industrial, food processing, sifting, and indoor applications.

Key Benefit: Excellent cost-efficiency, great formability, and strong resistance to oxidation and rust under standard conditions.

2. Marine Grade 316 Stainless Steel (SS 316)

Best For: Saltwater environments, coastal regions, chemical processing, and highly acidic/alkaline applications.

Key Benefit: Contains molybdenum, which drastically boosts resistance to chloride pitting, stress corrosion cracking, and harsh marine environments.
