#200 Mesh – 0.077mm Aperture – 0.05mm Wire Diameter – SS304 Grade – Woven Wire Mesh

#200 Mesh x 0.077mm Aperture

Our #200 fine woven wire mesh, manufactured from high-quality 304-grade stainless steel, is engineered for applications requiring exceptional precision and consistency. With an aperture of 0.077mm and a wire diameter of 0.05mm, this mesh belongs to the ultra-fine category, offering a tightly woven structure with a 37% open area—providing the ideal balance between filtration performance and structural integrity.

This product is widely used in both industrial and scientific settings, where reliable micro-filtration, sieving, or particle screening is essential. The compact weave provides a cloth-like surface texture, making it suitable for handling extremely fine materials, including powders, fine dusts, liquids, or airborne particles. The relatively high open area ensures good throughput for air and fluids while maintaining excellent particle retention for materials down to 77 microns.

The 304 stainless steel construction is a trusted industry standard, offering dependable corrosion resistance, mechanical strength, and cleanability. It performs reliably in dry and mildly corrosive environments, making it suitable for use in food processing, pharmaceuticals, electronics, automotive filtration, and more. Unlike lower-grade stainless options, 304-grade ensures longevity under constant use and regular cleaning without degradation or rust formation.

Precision weaving ensures consistent mesh openings across the entire sheet, making this mesh especially suited to laboratory filtration, fine sieving, and screen printing backings. It is often incorporated into fine filters, protective covers, and sensor housings, where its strength and uniformity help prevent contamination or malfunction.

Despite its delicate appearance, this mesh maintains excellent tensile strength and can be easily formed or cut to fit specific applications. It can be mounted onto frames, rolled into filters, or layered to form complex barrier systems. The material’s malleability also makes it a favourite among model makers, crafters, and restoration experts working on fine detail work that requires both stability and subtlety.

From an industrial perspective, #200 mesh is often used in:

• Hydraulic and air filtration systems for fine particulate capture
• Pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing for powder control
• Ink and paint screening systems to ensure uniform texture
• R&D labs for controlled micro-sieving
• Protective shielding in sensitive electronic components

Its smooth surface finish makes it easy to clean and less prone to debris build-up, which is crucial in processes that require contamination control. The mesh can also be sterilised if necessary, making it suitable for sterile environments or repeat-use filtration systems.

In comparison to the 316-grade version, the 304-grade mesh offers a more cost-effective solution for most standard environments where extreme chemical exposure or marine-grade corrosion resistance is not a requirement. It’s an ideal option where cost efficiency meets precision.

Whether you’re filtering tiny airborne particles, developing lab equipment, building hobbyist prototypes, or looking for a robust solution for industrial fine screening, our #200 stainless steel woven wire mesh delivers both performance and value.
