Stainless Steel Woven Wire Corrosion Data, Page 1

The tables provide information based on laboratory tests of the more popular Stainless Steel grades utilized in wire cloth weaving.

Results should only be considered as a guide to the potential service life of woven wire cloth screens.

Secondary fabrication such as welding, soldering, brazing or heat treat processes may have adverse effects on screen life.

Indications
A		Recommended

A*		Recommended, pitting may result under certain conditions.

B		Subject to light chemical attack, use with care.

B*		Subject to light chemical attack, pitting may result under certain conditions.

C		Material was chemically attacked, not recommended.

N		Material not tested, no results available
