Stainless Steel Reverse Dutch Weave Wire Mesh

How it is woven

Dense warp wires, coarser weft wires

In reverse Dutch weave, closely packed finer wires run in the warp direction and coarser wires cross them in the weft direction. The dense structure forms a filtration path through the cloth rather than the open square apertures of plain or twill square mesh.

Reverse plain Dutch

One-over, one-under interlacing with the reversed warp and weft arrangement.

Reverse twill Dutch

Typically two-over, two-under interlacing with staggered intersections.

YueChu Metal can manufacture reverse Dutch cloth to an agreed weave and wire geometry. Confirm suitability for your application at quotation.

Stainless steel grade selection

304 / EN 1.4301 and low-carbon 304L / EN 1.4307 are starting points for milder environments. Molybdenum-alloyed 316L / EN 1.4404 can be considered for more demanding process media and welded filter components. Chlorides, pH, temperature and cleaning chemicals still require a material review; 316L is not a universal seawater or corrosion guarantee. Grade availability is confirmed at quotation.

Choose the construction

Reverse Dutch vs standard Dutch weave

“Reverse” refers to the wire arrangement, not the face of the cloth. Compare standard Dutch weave filter cloth or explore the woven wire mesh types before selecting a construction.

Reference specifications

Reverse Dutch weave specifications

Use these reverse plain Dutch weave (RPDW) constructions to shortlist an enquiry. Counts are warp × weft wires per 25.4 mm (one inch); wire diameters and thickness are in mm. The values are published industry references for selecting a construction. YueChu Metal can manufacture reverse Dutch weave cloth to an agreed specification; final dimensions, tolerances and filtration acceptance criteria are confirmed for each order.

Scroll horizontally to see all columns on smaller screens.

L identifies a lightweight reference construction. — means no absolute range is listed in the cited references. *For 175 × 40, Gerard Daniel lists 104 µm and Dorstener lists 108 µm; these are separate source values, not a tolerance interval. The 625 × 106 warp diameter reflects the sources' approximate metric equivalents.

Application review

Filter belts & equipment compatibility

Reverse Dutch cloth is used in some industrial filter belts and continuous screen-changing applications, including polymer melt filtration. The weave name alone does not establish compatibility with a machine or process.

• Belt geometry: working width, length, tolerances and travel direction.
• Edge & end details: edge condition, joint or end design, and the equipment drawing.
• Mechanical conditions: belt path, supports, tension and loading requirements.
• Process conditions: medium, operating temperature, pressure drop and filtration target.

Filtration performance

Confirm retention and the test basis

Filtration depends on the full weave construction, pore structure and operating conditions. A nominal or calculated micron value is not automatically a measured particle-retention rating. Agree the test basis and acceptance criteria for the chosen cloth.

Bubble point pressure · ASTM E3278

Measures the pressure needed to pass a bubble through wetted flat filter cloth. Pore-size interpretation needs an agreed conversion factor; it is not a direct retention test or validation of a finished filter assembly.

Particle-retention challenge

Discuss a particle or glass-bead procedure with defined particle sizes, challenge conditions and pass criteria. A result applies to the tested construction and conditions.

Filter-cloth specification · ASTM E2814

Covers industrial woven filter-cloth terminology, considerations and alternative acceptance criteria. It is not a standalone theoretical micron test or product certification.

For critical filtration, define retention, allowable pressure drop, sampling and acceptance criteria before production. Any requested report should identify the sample construction, method, conditions and measured result. Report availability is confirmed at quotation.

ISO 9044:2016 applies to square-aperture industrial woven wire cloth; its aperture tolerances do not establish reverse Dutch retention limits. Specify filtration acceptance separately. If porosity or open area is requested, state the definition and measurement or calculation method—porosity is not automatically the projected open area.

Method references: ASTM E3278 and ASTM E2814.

Wholesale & OEM enquiries

Custom supply & quotation checklist

YueChu Metal manufactures reverse Dutch stainless steel filter cloth to customer requirements in rolls, slit strips and cut pieces, with drawing-based filter belts reviewed for equipment fit. Send the construction and application details to confirm the production specification.

1. Define the cloth: weave, warp × weft geometry and stainless steel grade, or an existing specification.
2. Describe the process: retention target, medium, flow, temperature, allowable pressure drop and mechanical conditions.
3. Send dimensions: roll or strip size, cut-piece drawing or equipment belt requirements, including edges and tolerances.
4. Agree acceptance: inspection, test procedure, material documents, quantity and packing.
5. Confirm delivery: destination country and postal code or port, delivery terms and required date.

Buyers in North America, Europe and Australia can include their destination and document requirements in the enquiry. Feasibility, MOQ, lead time and delivery terms are confirmed for each quotation; no universal price or unverified certification is listed.

For cross-market RFQs, use the full RPDW or RDTW designation and warp × weft counts. State mm and metres as the primary dimension units, adding inch equivalents if needed. Specify net width, roll length, edge condition, cleanliness and batch traceability separately; a construction code does not define standard roll dimensions.
