Choose stainless steel wire mesh by its job, not simply by whether the wires are woven or welded. Woven cloth is a common starting point for screening and filtration; welded mesh is often considered for panels, enclosures and infill. Neither construction is automatically suitable for a particul...Read more »

Quotation basis — September 10, 2026: Cold-rolled prices are based on 1219 mm slit-edge material, and hot-rolled prices on 1500 mm mill-edge material unless a different width or edge is explicitly shown. Other widths require a surcharge; please confirm the exact adjustment with sales. Material p...Read more »

Mesh count is not a micron rating. For regular square woven stainless steel mesh, the clear opening depends on both the count and the wire diameter. Two screens sold as “20 mesh” can therefore pass different particle sizes. For Dutch weave filter cloth, a square-opening calculation does not est...Read more »

Quick answer: A stainless steel round bar for CNC machining should be specified by more than its grade. Define the alloy and condition, supplied diameter and tolerance, straightness, surface condition, cut length, machining allowance and inspection documents. These details determine feeding stab...Read more »

Quick answer: Reliable orbital welding of stainless steel tube depends on more than the welding program. Tube chemistry, end preparation, joint fit-up, shielding and internal purge control, heat input, cleanliness and inspection acceptance must work together. Orbital GTAW improves repeatability,...Read more »

PMI helps detect alloy mix-ups, but a handheld analyzer reading is not a complete acceptance certificate. For stainless steel bar, plate and pipe purchases, the important question is not simply whether PMI is available. It is whether the selected method can measure the elements that distinguish ...Read more »

For pressure-service stainless steel pipe, grade alone is not a complete specification. A usable purchase requirement must connect the material grade, pipe standard, manufacturing route, outside diameter, wall thickness or schedule, end preparation, testing scope and service conditions. Missi...Read more »
