Description:
Looking for stainless steel mesh screening material? Then check out our great selection of different micron sized
stainless steel mesh screen samples! Pre-cut into convenient 6" x 6" or 12" x 12" sheets, these filter screens can be used for several
different projects. We've sold them to people for almost every use under the sun with great success!
Ideal For Filtering
These stainless steel filter mesh screens are ideally suited for use in applications where you need high strength, chemical resistant filter mesh screen to
filter through. They stand up well to heat, cold, chemicals, solvents, liquids, and even sand and filter media.
In fact, it's the same material we use to build all of our stainless steel filters!
They're made from heavy duty 304 stainless steel and are available in a wide variety of sizes.
Because they're highly resistant to chemicals, they can be used as a support grid or
filtering media anywhere stainless steel may be specified. They even work great
in methoxide tanks to filter undissolved catalyst out of the methoxide mixture.
They can also be used for filtering hot waste vegetable oil or finished Biodiesel as well.
We're sure you'll find endless uses for this great product!
Recommended Micron Sizes
For filtering crude oil to get large chunks out, 1000 to 500 micron is recommended. To get smaller chunks out
but not back up the filter, 400 & 300 micron work well. 400 micron is what we personally use to filter all of
our vegetable oil with & find it works extremely well. It tends to be a great "medium range" filter allowing
for good filtration while not backing up too much.
For straight vegetable and straight motor oil, most customers prefer smaller micron sizes from 177 micron down to 74 micron.
They may take longer for the oil to filter through, but they do exceptionally well at getting all the smaller particles out.
Understanding Micron Sizes
Microns is a metric measurement. For example 1,000 micron means that the hole size is 1 millimeter big.
800 Micron is roughly the size of a window screen. 400 micron is half the hole size of an 800 micron.
Stainless Steel Sizes We Stock
Here's a listing of all of our micron sizes along with the stainless type, wire diameter, hole opening and
nominal and absolute micron ratings
Nominal means "average particle size" allowed through the filter
Absolute means "largest particle size" allowed through the filter
Weave Styles
The weave of a mesh identifies how the wires are woven together when the mesh is produced.

Mesh Ratings
Stainless screens can also be rated in "Mesh" ratings as well. Below is a conversion chart to give you
an idea of how micron and mesh relate to each other. Micron to mesh conversion ratings aren't exact, as mesh
ratings typically involve not only hole size, but include the wire width and weave style, but the chart below will give a fairly good
approximation of what mesh a particular micron size corresponds to.

We offer these great mesh screens in sample packs or in single, double, or five packs in a standard 12" x 12" size.
They also are mailed separately from other items to ensure they arrive in excellent shape and are ready for use.
We can also easily custom cut them to most any desired size in square foot increments.
