1. Filtration and Screening
The most common function of metal mesh is to separate materials of different particle sizes. For example:
- Stainless steel screens (mesh size 20-200) are used in food processing to filter impurities from flour (see "Standard for Metal Screens for the Food Industry GB/T 5330-2003").
- Manganese steel mesh is used in mining vibrating screens, achieving a screening efficiency exceeding 90% and a lifespan three times longer than ordinary mesh.
2. Protection and Safety
- Galvanized steel wire mesh (50mm x 50mm mesh) is used as a fall prevention net on construction sites, with a load capacity exceeding 200kg/m2 (according to the "Construction Safety Code JGJ 80-2016").
- Corrugated metal mesh is used in highway guardrails, increasing collision energy absorption by 40% and reducing accident casualties.
3. Decoration and Beautification
- Copper mesh is used on building facades (such as Beijing Daxing Airport), providing both ventilation and artistic appeal.
- In home decoration, titanium steel mesh can be customized with hollow patterns, has strong corrosion resistance, and has a service life of over 20 years.
