How to distinguish good stainless steel filter mesh and bad ones

Dec. 24, 2025

The stainless filter mesh has a particularly distinctive external property – there is no gap in the interlacing of its wires. This allows the use of stainless steel filters to filter various materials.


Today we will take a look at how to distinguish the quality of stainless steel filter mesh, mainly based on the raw materials and the condition of the mesh surface:


In addition to the composition of raw materials, we will also pay attention to the weaving quality of the stainless steel filter mesh, and test whether the metal woven mesh is qualified through the condition of the mesh surface and physical properties;


The following picture is a comparison of the quality of the weaving work:

A good mesh surface 

The mesh surface should be flat, clean, with tightly arranged weft wires, no gaps, no mechanical damage, creases, and rust spots.

All the stainless steel filter mesh is woven in accordance with the  international standards ASTME 2016, ASTM E2814, GB/T 5330-2003

A bad mesh surface

A bad mesh may have wavy edges on both sides, oil stains, mechanical damage to the mesh, etc.


When the nominal aperture is less than 30 microns, it should be tested in a black chamber on a ground glass inspection table with a uniform light source. The main focus here is on detecting bright spot defects in stainless steel filter mesh.
