What is plain Dutch weave and how is it different from plain weave?

Plain weave passes every wire over one and under one adjacent wire with warp and shute wires of similar diameter. Plain Dutch weave keeps the same one-over-one interlacing but packs fine shute wires tightly against heavier warp wires, forming wedge-shaped pores. That structure retains particles down to micron level with higher strength than plain weave of comparable fineness, at a slightly higher cost per square meter.

When should I choose plain Dutch weave instead of plain weave?

Our 304 plain weave family (SPU-WM-001) covers general filtration, screening and food-contact duties. Upgrade to this plain Dutch weave family when the job needs micron-level retention in liquids, such as hydraulic circuits, fuel lines and polymer melt filtration, where the wedge-shaped pores hold fine particles at the surface of the cloth.

What micron range does this 20-325 mesh family cover?

Apertures run from 0.87 mm at 20 mesh down to 0.043 mm at 325 mesh, roughly 870 to 43 microns. For true micron-rated Dutch weave duties, send your target retention size and operating pressure and we will confirm the closest specification from the SKU table above.

Is this mesh suitable for hydraulic and fuel filtration?

Yes. The fine counts in this family are commonly specified for hydraulic return-line elements, fuel filtration and polymer melt filtration, where 304 offers good compatibility with hydraulic oils, fuels and most mineral and synthetic media. Send your fluid, temperature and differential pressure and our engineers will confirm the right mesh count.

Should I choose 304 or 316 for Dutch weave filtration mesh?

304 covers most hydraulic, fuel and polymer filtration duties. Upgrade to our 316 twilled Dutch weave family (SPU-WM-006) when the mesh contacts chlorides, seawater or strong acids where pitting corrosion is a risk; the twilled interlacing also adds strength for high-pressure elements.

What roll widths and sample options are available for this Dutch weave mesh?

Standard looms produce 0.5 m, 1.0 m, 1.2 m and 1.5 m widths, with widths up to 2.0 m available for common mesh counts on a slightly extended lead time. Free 200 mm x 200 mm samples of standard specifications are dispatched within 1-2 days via DHL or FedEx for buyers with purchasing intent; custom specs carry only a nominal weaving setup fee.
