The comparison of market grade wire cloth,mill grade wire cloth and bolting grade wire cloth
Market-grade wire cloth is the most common specification for industrial applications, while mill-grade wire cloth offers a higher percentage of open area than market-grade but still less than that of tensile bolting wire cloth.
Bolting grade wire cloth sometimes referred to as TBC or Tensile bolting cloth. It has higher percentage of open area than both market and mill grade. It is typically used when maximum throughput is crucial.
Types | Weave | Applications |
Market grade wire cloth | square weave or twill weave | a wide variety of applications |
Mill grade wire cloth | square weave | sifting and sizing applications |
Bolting grade wire cloth | square weave | sifting and sizing applications general filtration applications |
