304 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Filter Screen for Oil & Gas Pipeline Strainer
Product Spotlights
Premium 304 Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Filter Screen – engineered for optimal performance in oil and gas pipeline strainers. Manufactured by Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd (located in Hengshui, Hebei, China – a global hub for wire mesh production), our filter screens are designed to provide reliable, long-lasting filtration in demanding pipeline environments. With precision weaving and strict quality control, each screen delivers consistent particle retention, high flow capacity, and excellent resistance to corrosion and high temperatures. Whether you operate crude oil pipelines, natural gas systems, or petrochemical transfer lines, our 304 stainless steel mesh filter screen ensures your equipment stays protected from debris, scale, and contaminants.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material: Premium 304 stainless steel – offers excellent corrosion resistance against oil, gas, and common chemicals. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
- Weave Structures: Available in plain weave, twill weave, and Dutch weave patterns. Each weave type provides specific filtration ratings and mechanical strength to meet different pipeline strainer requirements.
- Mesh Size Range: From 10 mesh (coarse) to 400 mesh (fine) – customizable to capture particles from 2mm down to 37 microns. Tailor the filtration level to your specific process needs.
- Wire Diameter: Ranges from 0.025mm to 2.0mm. Thicker wires increase mechanical strength; thinner wires allow higher open area and flow rate.
- High Temperature Tolerance: Withstands continuous operating temperatures up to 800°C (1472°F) and intermittent spikes up to 850°C (1562°F). Ideal for steam, hot oil, and gas applications.
- Custom Shapes & Sizes: We can produce flat sheets, rolls, discs, cylinders, cones, or fully assembled filter elements with edge reinforcement, gaskets, or flanges. Diameter, length, and connection type are fully customizable.
- High Flow Capacity: The open area of the mesh (typically 30%–60%) ensures minimal pressure drop across the filter, maintaining pipeline efficiency.

Advantages for Your Pipeline Strainer System
- Enhanced Equipment Protection: Removes sand, rust, scale, weld slag, and other solid particles before they can damage pumps, valves, meters, and downstream equipment. Reduces maintenance costs and unplanned downtime.
- Compatibility with Standard Strainer Housings: Our mesh screens are designed to fit most Y-type, T-type, basket, and cone strainer bodies used in oil and gas pipelines. Custom dimensions and connection types (flanged, threaded, or welded) are available.
- Long Service Life: 304 stainless steel resists pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking, even in wet sour gas environments (with proper material selection). The robust weave structure withstands differential pressure spikes and backwashing cycles.
- Easy Cleaning and Reusability: The wire mesh can be cleaned by backwashing, ultrasonic cleaning, or chemical flushing. Unlike disposable filter cartridges, our screens are reusable, offering a lower total cost of ownership.
- Precision Filtration Without Sacrificing Flow: The combination of mesh size and wire diameter is optimized to capture contaminants while maintaining high flow rates. Pressure drop is kept to a minimum, ensuring pipeline efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel for this filter screen?
A: 304 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance for most oil and gas applications with moderate chloride exposure. 316 stainless steel provides better resistance to chlorides and acidic environments. We can also supply 316L or 321 upon request, but 304 is a cost-effective standard choice for many pipeline strainer uses. -
Q: Can you provide a filter screen with a specific mesh count, e.g., 100 mesh?
A: Yes, we can manufacture any mesh count from 10 to 400 mesh. The exact mesh count and wire diameter will be matched to your desired filtration rating. Please provide your target particle size or pressure drop requirements. -
Q: How do I clean the wire mesh filter screen?
A: Cleaning methods depend on the type of contaminants. For light debris, backwashing with water or air is effective. For oily or sticky residues, soak in a suitable solvent or use ultrasonic cleaning. The screen can be reused many times if handled properly. -
Q: What is the maximum pressure the screen can handle?
A: The pressure rating depends on the mesh size, wire diameter, weave type, and the support structure of the housing. In general, our screens are designed for differential pressures up to 10–20 bar (150–300 psi) under normal conditions. For higher pressure applications, we can reinforce the mesh with a heavier support grid. -
Q: Do you offer custom shapes like conical or stepped screens?
A: Yes, we can produce custom shapes including cones, stepped cylinders, and screens with flanges or gaskets. Please provide a drawing or dimensional sketch, and we will fabricate accordingly. -
Q: Can you supply samples before bulk order?
A: Absolutely. We can provide small sample pieces (e.g., 100x100mm) or a prototype screen for testing. Sample cost is usually refundable upon bulk order. -
Q: What is the typical lead time for custom orders?
A: For standard meshes and sizes, lead time is 7–15 working days. For complex custom shapes, it may be 15–25 working days, depending on quantity. We offer expedited service for urgent projects.
