#8 Mesh – 2.62mm Aperture – 0.56mm Wire Diameter – SS430 Grade – Magnetic – Woven Wire Mesh

2.62mm Aperture Mesh Medium Heavy Duty Magnetic Wire Mesh

#8 mesh is a woven wire mesh made from 430-grade stainless steel, featuring a 2.62mm aperture and a 0.56mm wire diameter. This mesh offers 68% open area, making it suitable for applications requiring excellent airflow, water drainage, or visibility. Its magnetic properties, a feature of 430-grade stainless steel, make it particularly useful in industries where magnetic interaction is needed.

The weight of 1.25 kg/m² reflects its solid construction, while the 0.56mm wire diameter provides strength and durability. However, as 430-grade stainless steel has moderate corrosion resistance, this mesh is better suited for indoor or light-duty outdoor use in environments with limited exposure to harsh elements. It can be used for various filtration, screening, and protective barrier applications.

Commonly utilised in commercial and industrial settings, #8 mesh can be found in ventilation systems, sieving operations, and fencing panels. Its larger 2.62mm aperture allows for effective filtration of medium to large particles, making it a versatile choice for general-purpose uses.
