Extremely Fine Stainless Steel Screens 1771
April 25, 2011
Fine MicroEtch screens from stainless steel are manufactured using photoetching technology. Photoetching enables designers to specify straight hole or tapered holes, which facilitates liquid filtration and back flow cleaning. Hole sizes range from .003 in. and up. Unlike stamping, photoetching yields a burr-free product resulting in cleaner more efficient screens with greater material integrity. These screens feature a tighter tolerance on hole sizes and greater dimensional stability than woven wire mesh, making them ideal in applications requiring frequent cleaning or in devices with mechanical contact. Unlike woven wire mesh screens, the fixed photoetched openings will not change through use. Typical applications include particle separation and sizing.
