Custom Rectangular Wire Mesh Filter Screens
Custom rectangular wire mesh filter screens combine a selected filtration medium with a controlled frame and equipment interface. Specify the mesh, support, finished outline, corner geometry, frame section, sealing perimeter and mounting details together.
What Defines a Rectangular Filter Screen?
Filtration medium
Weave, opening or rating basis selected for the actual retention requirement.
Finished outline
Length, width, corners, squareness and flatness matched to the receiving equipment.
Frame and support
Perimeter profile and backing structure defined as part of the finished assembly.
Sealing interface
Frame, gasket and housing contact arranged to limit flow around the media.
Rectangular Wire Mesh Filter Screen Specification Table
| RFQ field | What to provide | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Finished envelope | Length, width, thickness, corner radii, squareness and flatness | Controls fit in the housing or equipment opening |
| Filter medium | Alloy, weave, mesh/wire or aperture; rating basis where applicable | Defines the actual retention structure |
| Layer stack | Fine media, drainage, support, order, orientation and joining | Controls stability, flow direction and active area |
| Frame | Material, width, cross-section, joint and total finished thickness | Defines edge containment and equipment contact |
| Sealing perimeter | Gasket, contact width, groove, clamp and sealing datum | Limits bypass around the screen |
| Mounting features | Tabs, holes, slots, handles and orientation features | Controls installation and removal |
Frame Cross-Section and Corner Geometry
A rectangular frame is defined by more than its outside size. Show frame width, profile, total thickness, inside opening, corner form and joint location. Square, rounded or clipped corners change both active area and equipment fit.
Use the wire mesh filter edge guide to compare plain, folded, welded, rimmed and gasket-captured perimeter concepts.
Available Screen Constructions
Single-layer framed screen
One selected mesh contained by a drawing-defined perimeter frame.
Multilayer supported screen
Fine media combined with drainage or support layers in a fixed order.
Mesh plus perforated support
Fine woven layer paired with a rigid perforated plate when the duty requires it.
Plain rectangular insert
Cut mesh captured completely by the customer housing.
Gasket-contact screen
Frame or border forms part of a defined sealing stack.
Screen with tabs or holes
Mounting and orientation features located from drawing datums.
Mesh Selection and Active Area
Select the medium from the particle target, aperture or rating basis, flow, differential pressure, cleaning and material compatibility. Then calculate the usable filtration region inside the frame, supports, joints and mounting features.
For general media selection, see stainless steel mesh for filtration. For multilayer screen logic, review multi-layer wire mesh filter discs.
Sealing Perimeter and Bypass Control
Mesh-to-frame path
State how the media terminates and joins around the complete perimeter.
Frame-to-gasket path
Define the contact face, gasket position and required width.
Gasket-to-housing path
Show groove, clamp, compression direction and locating datum.
Corner continuity
Define corner joints, radii and permitted gaps where sealing matters.
Tabs, Holes and Equipment-Specific Features
Mounting tabs, holes, slots and handles can change the installed envelope and load path. Locate each feature from common datums and identify whether it mounts, locates, orients or assists removal.
The filter element drawing checklist helps separate critical interface dimensions from reference dimensions.
Rectangular Screen vs Other Mesh Products
Rectangular filter screen
Filtration medium plus frame, sealing perimeter and equipment interface.
Welded wire mesh panel
Rigid open grid primarily specified by opening, wire and fabricated-panel geometry.
Filter disc
Round or profile-cut filter component with disc-specific edge and housing fit.
For an open-grid fabricated panel, use custom welded wire mesh panels. For round components, compare stainless steel filter discs.

Rectangular Filter Screen RFQ Steps
1. Define retention
State particle target, media and rating basis.
2. Define the outline
Add length, width, corners, flatness and tolerances.
3. Define layers
List media, support, order, joining and flow direction.
4. Define the interface
Show frame, seal, tabs, holes and equipment datums.
5. Add service data
Provide medium, temperature, pressure, cleaning, quantity and revision.
Rectangular Wire Mesh Filter Screen FAQ
Provide finished length, width, total thickness, corner radii, squareness, flatness, frame width and cross-section, mesh active area, tolerances, mounting features and quantity.
State material, weave, mesh count with wire diameter or clear aperture. For Dutch weave or another rated medium, provide the complete construction and rating basis instead of using a square-mesh conversion.
Yes. Fine filtration mesh may be paired with coarse woven mesh, perforated metal or another drawing-defined support. List every layer, its order, orientation, joining and flow direction.
Show square, rounded, clipped or drawing-specific corners, the frame joint location, inside and outside radii, permitted gaps and the datum used for length and width.
Define the complete sealing path from mesh to frame, then from frame to gasket or housing. State sealing-contact width, gasket position, compression or clamping interface and critical tolerances.
Drawing-defined tabs, holes, slots or orientation features can be reviewed. Locate them from common datums and state whether they are mounting, locating, handling or anti-rotation features.
