Woven wire cloth

The screening surface may consist of woven-wire, silk, or plastic cloth, perforated or punched plate, grizzly bars, or wedge wire sections. 

Screen Surfaces The selection of the proper screening surface is veiy important, and the opening, wire diameter, and open area should all be carefully considered. The four general types of screening surfaces are woven-wire cloth, silk bolting cloth, punched plate, and bar or rod screens. 

Woven wire cloth is available in a broad range of alloys with mesh counts as coarse as 1" in most alloys and as fine as 635 in some alloys. The following is a list of alloys normally used ...

The common sieves are made of woven wire cloth and have square apertures. The sizes of the sieve openings have been standardized, and currently two different sets of standard series, the Tyler Standard and the U.S. Series ASTM Standard, are used in the United States. The mesh number of a sieve is normally defined as the number of apertures per unit area (square inch). Thus, the higher the mesh number the smaller the aperture. Typical mesh numbers, aperture sizes, and wire diameters are given for the lyier sieves and the U.S. ASTM sieves in Table 1.3. Sieve analysis covers the approximate size range of 37 pm to 5,660 pm using standard woven wire sieves. Electroformed micromesh sieves extend the range down to 5 pm or less while punched plate sieves extend the upper limit. 

Many methods are available for determining particle size in pharmaceutical practice, including microscopy, sieving, sedimentation, and determination of particle volume [19]. Sieve analysis with U.S. standard sieves is widely used to determine the particle size distribution based on powder weight. Sieves are classified according to the number of openings (Table 14) and are generally made of wire cloth woven from brass, bronze, or other suitable wire.

Woven wire sieves, having apertures ranging from 20 pm to 125 mm, are readily available in 100, 200, 300 and 450 mm diameters frames as well as 3, 8, 12 and 18 in diameters. Microplate sieves are available in 100 and 200 mm diameters with round or square apertures ranging from 1 to 125 mm. Endecottes test sieves have at least five intermediate and one final inspection in which wire cloth dimensions are inspected by projector. 

The cylindrical sieve cloth containers (sieves) are formed in such a way that they will stack, one on top of the other, to give a snug fit (Figure 4.3). Due to the method of manufacture, woven wire sieves have poor tolerances, particularly as the aperture size decreases. Tolerances are improved and the lower size limit extended with electroformed mieromesh sieves.

If a thinner membrane is required, then one must choose a supported membrane. The permselective metal layer may be palladium or, more commonly, palladium-silver alloy, palladium-copper alloy, or other alloy of palladium. The permselective layer ranges in thickness from about 2-25 /an thinner than 2/rm is very difficult to achieve without introducing pin holes and other adverse defects into the permselective layer. The support layer is porous and is composed of either metal (such as sintered stainless steel or tightly woven wire cloth) or an inert ceramic alumina is very common. Since all of the mechanical strength is derived from the support layer, consideration must be given to its shape and thickness.

Woven media are flexible and comprise metallic or nonmetallic materials formed by weaving. Metallic woven media are called woven wire, and nonmetallic woven media are called woven cloth or woven fabric. Woven wires are generally made with stainless steel, bnt can also be monel, nickel, inconel, or nichrome. They are stronger, better wear resistant, and more dnrable, but are more expensive compared with woven fabric. Selection of woven wire is sometimes solely on the basis of severe operating conditions. 

The material on solids was abstracted in part from Gilson Co. literature by permission. Sieves for most laboratoiy work are round and vary from 3 to 12 inches in diameter. They are made of brass to be less static and magnetic. The screen itself is either woven wire, electroformed metal, woven cloth, or machined plastic. Each sieve is designated by its mesh. Mesh is the number of holes per linear inch of screen. A 10 mesh screen would contain 10 holes along 1 inch. Caution A 10 mesh screen has 1 Ox 10 or 100 holes per in not just 10 holes as you might suspect. 

Industrial screens are made from woven wire, silk or plastic cloth, metal bars, perforated or slotted metal plates, or wires that are wedge shaped in cross section. Various metals are used, with steel and stainless steel the most common. Standard screens range in mesh size from 4 in. to 400-mesh, and woven metal screens with openings as small as 1 m are commercially available.f Screens finer than about 150-mcsh are not commonly used, however, because with very fine particles other methods of separation are usually more economical.

As stated above, a typical medium for the fittration of coarse materials is a woven wire mesh which will retain certain particulates on the sui ce of the screei. As the tize of the particulates decreases, other screens are required, e.g. wovai cloths, membranes, etc. these are constructed with smaller and smaller rpenings or pores. Flow fhrou such a system is shown in Figure 1.3. Where the particulates are extremely miall and in low concmtration, deposition may occur hr the dqifhs of the medium, such as in water clarification by sand...
