Overview
   
  Knitted wire mesh is a proven technology for solving design problems in the Industrial, Military, Petrochemical and Aerospace markets. In critical applications from heat exchangers on tanks to high temperature rope seals on the space shuttle, from liquid filters in compressors to noise dampeners on pneumatic equipment, design engineers are specifying knitted mesh technology for:
  • Filtration
  • Sound Reduction
  • High Temperature Sealing and Gasketing
  • Vibration and Shock Damping
  • Flame and Spark Resistance
  • Heat Transfer

The interlocking loop structure of knitted wire mesh provides excellent resilience, flexibility, mechanical damping, memory and strength in compression—even when subjected to high temperatures or extreme conditions. In addition to a wide range of materials, diameters and compounds to select, Metex provides complete design and engineering services to help our customers specify the right product for the job.
