Dutch Woven Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Cloth: 10 Essential

Dutch Woven Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Cloth—also called Dutch weave, Hollander weave, or stainless steel filter cloth—is a tightly packed warp/weft weave designed for fine, stable filtration with high mechanical strength. Unlike square mesh, Dutch weaves use different wire diameters and counts in warp and weft to create very small pore channels and a smooth filtration surface.
Common variants:

Plain Dutch – balanced flow and retention for general fine filtration.
Twill Dutch – twill pattern packs more wires per inch for finer micron ratings and higher ∆P capability.
Reverse Dutch – coarse wires in one direction and fine in the other for high strength, higher throughput, and good backwashability.
Typical alloys: 304, 304L, 316, 316L (others on request). 304L is preferred when low carbon improves weldability and reduces sensitization risk.

Applications Dutch Woven Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Cloth

Polymer & extrusion: melt filter discs/packs, screen-changer belts.
Chemical & petrochemical: fine liquid/gas polishing, catalyst protection, solvent and lube filtration.
Oil & gas / refining: high-pressure separators, fuel and lube skids, aerosol control.
Pharma, food & beverage: clarification and particulate control where stainless hygiene and corrosion resistance are needed.
General industrial: compressed-air/gas filtration, spray/paint lines, precision vent filters, sieve and calibration screens.

Benefits

Fine, repeatable cut points: tighter pore channels than square mesh; Twill Dutch achieves the smallest microns at practical pressure drops.
High differential-pressure tolerance: dense weave and load distribution resist deformation.
Excellent dirt-holding capacity: tortuous pore path captures fine and fibrous contaminants.
Smooth filtration face: minimizes media migration and aids backflushing/cleaning.
Corrosion resistance: 304/316 families cover a wide range of media; 304L/316L boost weldability and resist intergranular attack.
Formability: can be slit, stamped to discs, multi-layer sintered, or welded into cartridges and cones.

Weave types (select by duty)

Plain Dutch: good flow, fine retention—general liquid filtration.
Twill Dutch: finest ratings, higher ∆P tolerance—critical polishing, gases, viscous media.
Reverse Dutch: stronger, higher throughput—pre-filters, higher solids, backwash service.

Alloys

SS 304 / 304L: general purpose; 304L favored for welding and low-carbon compliance.
SS 316 / 316L: improved pitting/crevice resistance; 316L for welded packs.
Other grades on request (321, 904L, 310S, duplex, etc.).

Typical supply formats

Rolls (common widths 1.0 m / 1.22 m / 1.5 m / 2.0 m), lengths per order.
Cut parts: discs, rectangles, rings, multi-layer packs; spot-welded or rim-welded.
Laminates: sintered multi-layer Dutch mesh for rigidity and cleanability.

Representative technical ranges (indicative; final rating depends on exact weave and wire sizes)

Micron ratings: ~2–200 μm (Twill Dutch at the finest end; Reverse Dutch at the coarser/high-flow end).
Mesh counts: e.g., Plain Dutch 80×700, 120×400; Twill Dutch 200×600, 500×3200; Reverse Dutch 24×110, 36×200.
Wire diameters: typically 0.020–0.500 mm depending on weave/duty.
Open area/porosity: low to moderate by design for fine retention and strength.

Quality references (commonly applied)

ASTM E2016 (industrial woven wire cloth)
ASTM E2814 (woven wire filter cloth)
ISO 9044 / ISO 4783 series (industrial wire cloth terminology, requirements, and test methods)
Material certificates and lot traceability available on request.

Packing Dutch Woven Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Cloth

Moisture-barrier protection: inner film wrap with desiccant; edge guards to prevent telescoping.
Cores & crates: rolls on heavy cores, cushioned and crated; cut parts nested with interleaves.
Labeling: alloy, weave type, nominal micron, lot/heat number, quantity, and PO reference.
Export-ready: fumigated wooden cases (if required), shock/tilt indicators for high-value packs.

Conclusion

Dutch Woven Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Cloth provides fine, stable, and durable filtration where ordinary screens can’t hold rating or pressure. Selecting the right weave (Plain/Twill/Reverse) and alloy (including 304L for weldability and corrosion control) delivers predictable performance, long service life, and easy integration into discs, cartridges, and multi-layer packs.
Share your target micron, media, temperature/pressure, flow, and cleaning method (backflush/solvent/ultrasonic), and you’ll get a right-sized recommendation with material and delivery options.
