Weaves for Wire Cloth

The most common weave, with the same diameter warp and shute wires woven in a simple over and under patttern. It produces screens with the same mesh count in both directions.

Each shute wire typically passes over two warp wires and under two, producing square openings. Twill weave can be made from larger diameter wires than would be possible in plain square weave to obtain greater strength, density, or corrosion resistance.

Woven in an over and under pattern, but warp wires are heavier -- larger in diameter -- than shute wires which are driven very close to create a high density wire mesh with much lower flow rates and much higher particle retention than plain square weaves.
