T-304/316 2" x 4" Opening Stainless Steel Welded Wire Mesh for Protection
Welded wire mesh specifications are commonly used in a wide array
of industrial and non-industrial applications, including animal
caging, critter and varmint control, agricultural use, air vents,
basket fabrication, food applications, aviary and bird screen,
industrial separation fan and machine guards, security retention,
basket fabrication, industrial separation and soffit screens.
Stainless steel welded wire mesh is an extremely popular and
versatile item that many different customers use for many different
applications. Our company specializes in supplying high quality
stainless steel welded wire mesh.
We can produce stainless steel welded wire mesh with apertures
ranging from 4 inches to 1/4 inches. The following is the data
about the 2" x 4" Mesh stainless steel welded wire mesh:
| Mesh | Construction Type | Wire Diameter | Width of Opening | % of Open Area | Weight |
| 2" x 4" Mesh | Welded | 2 x 4 in | 1.895 x 3.895 in | 92.00 % | 0.270 lb/ft² |
We mainly provide stainless steel welded wire mesh made of
stainless steel 304, 316, and 201. Among them, T-304 and T-316 are
the two most important materials.

T-304 is the basic stainless alloy, containing 18 percent chromium
and 8 percent nickel. It's not as corrosion resistant as T-316, but
it's acceptable (and more affordable) for most uses, unless
otherwise specified.
Although it melts at 2,600 degrees F (1430 degrees C), it’s best
for use at 1450 degrees F (790 degrees C) for continuous service
and 1650 degrees F (900 C) for intermediate service. Its uses
include sorting and screening of abrasives, liquids, powders and
other solids.

T-316is a special stainless alloy, which contains 18 percent
chromium and 10 percent nickel, as well as 2 percent molybdenum.
This combination enables the mesh to resist corrosion from salts,
acids, and seawater.
T-316 melts at 2500 degrees F (1375 C), but its maximum recommended
temperature for continuous service is 1500 degrees F. (815 C) and
is useful for intermediate service up to 1650 degrees F (900 C).
Its uses include processing oils and foods, chemicals, and
pharmaceuticals.
