Heavy Duty SS316 Grade Woven Wire Mesh (2 LPI x 1.6mm Wire = 11.1mm Aperture)

#2 Heavy Duty Mesh Strong Stainless Woven Wire

Our 316 marine grade heavy duty mesh is specially designed to cater to applications requiring larger apertures combined with a high degree of strength and durability. This robust mesh is ideal for demanding environments where both significant airflow and strong barriers are essential, such as in industrial safety guards, large particle filtration, and architectural features.

The mesh boasts a substantial aperture of 10mm, which is perfectly suited for uses that require less restrictive barriers without compromising on the protection against larger objects or intruders. This size is particularly effective in applications like machinery protection where it is crucial to prevent access to moving parts while allowing for excellent visibility and airflow.

With a wire diameter of 2mm, this mesh offers enhanced strength and resistance to physical impacts and environmental conditions. The thickness of the wires ensures that the mesh can handle heavy use and harsh conditions typical of industrial and marine environments, providing a reliable and long-lasting solution.

The 2 holes per linear inch (2 LPI) configuration indicates a relatively open weave, contributing to the mesh’s high degree of openness. An open weave is advantageous in applications such as ventilation systems and decorative applications where air flow and aesthetic appeal are important.

Weighing 4 kg/m2, this mesh is on the heavier side, which underscores its strength and suitability for structural applications where a sturdy, enduring material is necessary. Despite its weight, the mesh can be effectively managed and installed with the appropriate support structures.

316 stainless steel, known for its superior corrosion resistance, particularly against chlorides and harsh solvents, makes this mesh an excellent choice for both outdoor and marine applications. The inclusion of molybdenum in its composition enhances its durability against corrosion, making it an ideal choice for long-term installations in challenging conditions.
