This woven stainless steel wire mesh shares the 0.4 mm aperture (400 µm) and 0.25 mm wire of our V2A version, but is woven from AISI 316 (EN 1.4401, V4A) stainless steel. The 316 grade contains molybdenum, which improves resistance to chlorides and many aggressive media, so it holds up better than standard 304 in marine, coastal and chemical surroundings. At 40 mesh the cloth retains sand, grit and similar particles while letting liquids and air through, which makes it a durable choice for sieves, strainers and protective screens that see salt water or corrosive conditions. Each sheet is cut to your exact width and length, so it fits your frame or housing straight away.

FAQ

How does this differ from the V2A (304) mesh?

Same 0.4 mm aperture and 0.25 mm wire, but woven in AISI 316 (EN 1.4401, V4A), which resists chlorides and salt better than 304.

What mesh count is this?

40 mesh: 0.4 mm openings woven from 0.25 mm stainless steel wire.

When is 316 worth it?

If the mesh is exposed to salt water, chlorides or coastal air, the 316 grade is the more durable choice. For dry indoor use, the V2A version is usually sufficient.

Can it be cut to size?

Yes, every sheet is cut to the width and length you specify.
