Black Wire Cloth (Plain Steel Wire Cloth) 6–80 Mesh Plain, 12×64–40×200 Mesh
Black Wire Cloth, also called iron wire cloth or iron wire mesh, is a woven metal fabric manufactured from low-carbon steel wire. It is produced using plain weave or twill weave structures to ensure uniform mesh openings and stable mechanical strength. This mesh is supplied in rolls and sheets, offering consistent filtration and screening performance for industrial processing applications.
Industrial black wire cloth with plain weave structure, BWG 18–38 wire diameter, used for rubber screening
Raw Material and Wire Composition
Black Wire Cloth is woven from low-carbon steel wire with controlled carbon content to provide good flexibility and tensile stability. The untreated black surface finish maintains original steel characteristics, making it suitable for applications where coating is not required or where secondary processing is applied.
Mesh Structure and Weave Types
The wire cloth is commonly produced in plain weave for standard screening and twill weave for higher mesh counts. Uniform intersections and accurate wire spacing ensure consistent aperture sizes and reliable flow control during filtration and separation processes.
Mesh Count and Filtration Range
Black Wire Cloth is available in a wide range of mesh counts to suit coarse screening and fine filtration. Typical mesh sizes cover applications involving granular powders, liquid filtration, and gas separation, allowing users to select appropriate opening sizes based on material flow requirements.
Wire Diameter Specifications
Wire diameters vary according to mesh count and application needs. Common wire diameters are selected to balance open area, strength, and durability, ensuring stable performance under continuous industrial operation.
Surface Characteristics and Finish
The black wire cloth surface is smooth, flat, and free from coatings. This untreated finish provides good adhesion for secondary processes such as painting, coating, or forming, while maintaining dimensional accuracy.
Mechanical Performance Features
- Uniform mesh openings
- Flat and stable surface structure
- Good tensile strength and wear resistance
- Long service life under dry filtration conditions
Black Wire Cloth Industrial Application
- Plastics and rubber processing filtration
