Plain & Twill Weave Woven Wire Cloth

These weaves are the most economical and are often used for sifting and sizing, particle separation, filtering, safety, and security applications. Dorstener Wire Tech offers these in a wide range of specifications, alloys, and grades. DWT manufactures plain and twill weave wire cloth to customer specifications.

Plain weave wire cloth is woven by alternating the shute wire over and under the warp wire, creating a wire mesh. Twill weave wire cloth is woven by passing the shute wire over and under two warp wires, creating a sturdier weave. This weave allows for the use of heavier wires, producing a stronger wire mesh.

Both weaves are economical – the plain weave being the most common and economical to produce. Uses of wire mesh include:

  • Sizing
  • Particle separation and filtering
  • Particulate sifting
  • Safety and equipment protection.

Industries served include aerospace, automotive, construction and oil & gas.

DWT’s custom manufacturing services include:

  • Wide selection of metals and alloys, including special wire selections such as cable mesh and plastic-coated wire.
  • Extra wide woven wire cloth, up to 240″ width for selected items.
  • Woven wire cloth in long rolls, up to 2000’ long coils or rolls with no seams.
  • Woven edges.
  • Full range of conversion services, including slitting, shearing, calendaring, stretching and annealing.
  • Oblong opening and high aspect ratio wire cloth designs are available.

DWT maintains the highest quality standards and is ISO 9001:2008 certified. All of our wire cloth products can be supplied in DFAR-compliant materials and meet or exceed ASTM standards. For a quick quote on our plain and twill weave woven wire cloth capabilities, contact us today.

Reverse Dutch Weave & Reverse Dutch Twill Weave Woven Wire Cloth

Reverse Dutch weave woven wire cloth is woven using two sizes of wire. Smaller wires are used in the warp direction and are woven with a larger shute wire. The smaller wires are woven tightly together, providing a tight mesh for filtering. The larger wire provides strength to the mesh. The primary uses of this woven wire cloth are filtration and separation of liquid and slurry products.

Woven Wire Cloth Manufacturer Dorstener Wire Tech - Houston, Texas - Offers a full line of woven wire cloth and woven mesh products.

Reverse Twill Dutch weave woven wire cloth combines Dutch and twill weaving to provide a fine mesh filtering cloth.
