A woven mesh disc cut from our own cloth, for small housings and shallow elements.
A woven stainless mesh disc, disced from cloth woven in house and edge-finished to your drawing. It suits small housings, stacks of discs and protective layers in front of a finer medium. Woven wire mesh covers 5–200 μm, and inside that range the opening is set by the weave; the figure is confirmed by batch measurement. Service temperature holds to 600 °C.
This element is woven stainless cloth cut into a disc: the simplest form of woven mesh filter, and often the least expensive way to put a defined opening into a housing. The disc is disced from cloth woven on our own looms, edge-finished, and, where the drawing asks for it, welded or flanged to a support ring or a frame. The opening is set by the weave, inside the 5–200 μm range woven wire mesh covers, and the exact figure is confirmed on the batch.
Discs suit small housings and shallow elements: a single screen in a holder, a stack of discs in a short housing, or a protective layer in front of a finer medium. They are used where the contaminant is screenable, where the element is cleaned or exchanged on a schedule, and where the change-out is quick because the part is small.
Where the duty is finer than a woven opening can hold — a contaminant measured in a few microns, held in depth rather than on the surface — a sintered fiber felt or multilayer sintered mesh disc is the better element, and we name that at the drawing stage. Woven discs are also used as the support and protective layers inside those stacks.
Most discs we make are replacements: send the OEM part number, the drawing or a used disc, and we match diameter, weave, edge finish and any welded ring or flange. New duties start from operating conditions, and our application engineers read the drawing or the condition sheet and return a dimensioned drawing for approval before a price is given. Every batch is measured for bubble point and air permeability, and the record travels with the dispatch. Send the method your line uses to clean the discs and we confirm the weave suits it.
Key Benefits
01
The weave gives a single measurable opening, so a screenable particle is stopped at the surface and the disc is quick to inspect and exchange.
02
A flat disc is the least expensive form of woven mesh element, so it is practical to keep spares and change the part on a schedule.
03
A woven disc laid over a finer medium takes the coarse load before it reaches the rated layer, and is replaced instead of the whole element.
04
Supplied as a plain disc or welded and flanged to a support ring or frame in house, to suit the holder it sits in.
Construction
Cloth woven in house and disced to the diameter on the drawing. The opening is set by the wire diameter and the mesh count, inside the 5–200 μm range woven mesh covers, and the exact figure is confirmed on the batch.
The cut edge is finished to suit the holder — left bare, rolled, or welded to a support ring where the drawing calls for one.
Where fitted, welded in house by TIG, resistance or laser welding so the disc keeps its shape under the differential pressure.
Where the holder provides one, a coarser mesh or perforated plate carries the load so the rated cloth keeps its weave.

Materials
The alloy follows the medium, the temperature and what the element has to resist. Where a duty sits between two of them, an engineer says which one and why.
General industrial duty, and the usual choice for a plain exchangeable disc.
Where chlorides or acids are present in the medium.
Heat-resistant grade for continuous high-temperature service.
High-alloy austenitic grade for chlorides and acids.
Nickel alloy for aggressive media where stainless is not enough.
Nickel-chromium alloy for high temperature with corrosion.
Nickel-copper alloy for chlorides and seawater duty.
Corrosive or high-purity service.
Corrosive or high-purity service, where stainless is no longer enough.
Industries
The duties this element is bought for, and what it is filtering in each of them.
Small-housing filtration and protective screens, where the disc is exchanged and the batch record is filed with it.
Point-of-use screens in small holders, where a single defined opening is easier to verify than a depth medium.
Screens in process fluid lines, exchanged on a schedule because the part is small and cheap to hold.
Protective discs ahead of a finer element in small-bore and sampling lines.
Customisation
Cut to your diameter, weave and edge finish, with a welded support ring or frame where the holder needs one. The alloy follows the medium and the opening follows the duty. Where a flat disc cannot hold what the duty produces, we say so at the drawing stage and propose a sintered felt or multilayer sintered mesh disc instead.
Send what you have — a drawing, a part number, a photograph of the element in place, or just the operating conditions. Nothing is quoted from a part number alone.

Why Us
Every element is welded and batch-tested in our own plant, and the batch record travels with the dispatch. About 70% of our work is a replacement for an element already in service, which is why a drawing or a used part is enough to start from.
Questions
A woven disc is a single layer of cloth with one well-defined opening, so it stops screenable particles at the surface and cleans quickly. A sintered disc is a bonded structure that holds contaminant in depth and suits finer duties. Which one fits depends on the contaminant and on how often the element is cleaned.
By the duty, inside the range woven mesh covers: woven wire mesh runs from 5–200 μm. Send the contaminant and particle size distribution, plus any bubble point or air permeability target already written into your specification, and we name the weave and confirm the opening with a batch measurement.
Yes. Rings, frames and support layers are welded in house by TIG, resistance or laser welding, and the disc can also be supplied bare for a holder that clamps it.
Send the OEM part number, the drawing or a used disc and we match diameter, weave, edge finish and any welded ring before anything is quoted.
Drawing review takes 3–5 working days, samples ship in 20–30 days and production runs take 30–60 days. The minimum order is a few pieces to a few dozen discs.
The batch record: bubble point and air permeability measured on every batch, filed with the discs so the figures the part was accepted against are the figures you hold.
