Screening, EMI Shielding and Elastic-Contact Applications
Select phosphor bronze woven wire cloth by the job it must perform. For screening, define the opening, particle characteristics and support arrangement. For EMI shielding, identify the frequency range, enclosure openings and electrical connections. For elastic-contact work, specify wire condition, forming and repeated deflection; the alloy name alone does not establish spring performance.
- Precision screening and separation
- EMI shielding screens and enclosure interfaces
- Elastic-contact mesh selection
Phosphor Bronze Material and Mesh Selection
Copper, Tin and Phosphorus: Confirm the Exact Grade
Phosphor bronze is a copper-tin-phosphorus alloy family, distinct from copper-zinc brass. ASTM B159/B159M-17(2024) addresses phosphor bronze wire in designated alloys and tempers for general and spring applications. The composition ranges shown below are existing product-family catalog data, not a declaration of C51000 or C52100 chemistry and not a heat-specific analysis. Specify the exact alloy designation, wire condition and material acceptance requirements in your order; agree any supporting chemical-analysis or traceability documents with the quotation.
- Cu: 93-95
- Sn: 4-6
- P: 0.01-0.35
Geometry, Installation and Service Conditions
- Opening and open area：Mesh count describes the number of openings per linear inch. Wire diameter also determines the clear opening and open area. Compare these values together in the live catalog table rather than selecting by mesh count alone.
- Shielding assembly：Provide the target frequency range, attenuation requirement, frame design and grounding or bonding arrangement. No shielding effectiveness in decibels is declared for this mesh family; confirm performance on the intended assembly.
- Elastic-contact duty：Wire temper, geometry, forming and contact movement all affect an elastic component. Include the working deflection, contact arrangement and expected cycling so the proposed mesh can be reviewed against the actual mechanical duty.
- Surface and environment：Describe moisture, chemicals, temperature and cleaning conditions. Agree the required surface appearance and any coating before ordering, particularly where electrical contact matters. A product-family name does not establish compatibility with a particular process fluid.
Phosphor Bronze Wire Mesh Purchasing Checklist
Specify the wire material and the finished cloth separately. ASTM B159/B159M-17(2024) is a phosphor bronze wire reference; ASTM E2016-22 covers industrial woven wire cloth within its stated scope. E2016 does not cover testing sieve cloth or Dutch weave filter cloth. Agree the applicable standard, edition, measuring method and acceptance limits for the ordered construction. These references are not a certification claim for this product.
| Check item | What to specify | Include in your RFQ | Agree before ordering |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wire material | Exact phosphor bronze grade and temper | Alloy designation, wire condition and material standard | Offered grade and required material records |
| Mesh geometry | Mesh count, wire diameter, clear opening and weave | Values in both directions where different, with units | Nominal geometry, measurement method and tolerances |
| Finished dimensions | Width, length, edge condition and required form | Dimensions, quantity and any fabrication drawing | Finished size and edge requirements |
| Application | Screening, shielding or elastic-contact duty | Process conditions, support details and performance targets | Application-specific evaluation and any required testing |
| Inspection and documentation | Order-specific acceptance criteria | Requested inspection records, certificate type and traceability | Written inspection basis and available document package |
Phosphor Bronze Wire and Woven Cloth References
- “Standard Specification for Phosphor Bronze Wire”ASTM B159/B159M-17(2024)Material reference for phosphor bronze wire in designated alloys and tempers. Use it to define the requested wire specification; it does not identify or certify the alloy supplied under this product-family listing.
