China Heavy Duty Coarse Fine Grade Brass Wire Cloth Plain Weave

BRASS wire mesh

OVERVIEW
These brass meshes are plain square weave (over one, under one). Brass is superior to copper wire mesh in abrasion resistance, tensile strength. Chemical composition: copper and zinc alloy (copper content 60% to 70%) Brass can be soldered with lead or silver solder. Brass may discolor due to atmospheric conditions and is not suitable for salt water use (monel is the best for salt water and stainless steel type 316 is second best). Weaving meets ANSI/AWCI - 01 -1992 and ASTM E 2016-11 and RRW 360. Electrical conductivity is considerably lower than that for copper wire.

Brass Wire Mesh - Choosing

In general, our website gives detailed descriptions and pictures of many brass meshes. For someone unfamiliar with wire mesh terminology, 2 mesh has two wires in each direction in a square inch. You could easily pass a pencil through the openings. 16 mesh is what is used in a window or porch screens to keep out common insects. 60x40 mesh is the size commonly used in kitchen faucets. An 80 mesh has an opening which will barely pass a human hair. A piece of paper is about three thousandths (.003) of an inch.
