#16 Mesh – 0.958mm Aperture – 0.63mm Wire Diameter – Mild Steel/Plain Steel – Woven Wire Mesh

#16 x 0.63mm Mesh Strong Mild Steel Wire Mesh

Our #16 woven wire mesh is a strong and durable material with a 0.958mm aperture and 0.63mm wire diameter, making it suitable for tasks that require both fine filtration and structural integrity. With a 36% open area, it allows moderate air and liquid flow while still providing a close weave capable of capturing smaller particles. The relatively thick wire used in this mesh gives it a sturdy feel and high resistance to deformation, making it a preferred option in industrial settings where mechanical strength is essential. At 3.18 kg per square metre, this is a heavy-duty mesh that remains stable under stress and maintains its form even when used in demanding applications.

This mesh is often selected for its balance of fineness and toughness. It is used in environments such as mechanical filtration systems, heavy-duty sieving operations, and protective barriers for equipment or sensitive areas. Its construction allows it to withstand repeated use and contact with abrasive materials, making it ideal for screens in mining, construction, food production, and engineering. The #16 mesh count means there are sixteen openings per inch, which provides consistent filtration performance across the surface, especially when precision and durability are equally important.

Because of its strength, this mesh is commonly integrated into frames, baskets, and panels where it functions as a rigid support or separation layer. It can be cut and welded, though it may require stronger tools or machinery due to its thicker wire gauge. It’s also frequently used in situations where a fine aperture is needed without compromising on resilience—for example, as a filtering layer in industrial drying trays, an airflow screen in dusty environments, or a support structure for insulation or lining materials.
