Copper mesh is a versatile material widely used in filtration, EMI shielding, pest control, and industrial applications due to its excellent conductivity, corrosion resistance, and malleability. Milesen produces high-quality copper mesh with varying mesh counts and wire diameters to meet diverse industry requirements. This article explores the technical aspects and practical applications of different copper mesh configurations.
The performance of copper mesh depends on two critical factors:
Mesh Count (Openings per Inch) – Determines filtration efficiency and airflow resistance.
Fine Mesh (80–200 mesh) – Used for precision filtration and fine particle retention.
Medium Mesh (30–60 mesh) – Suitable for general-purpose screening and EMI shielding.
Coarse Mesh (4–20 mesh) – Ideal for pest exclusion, ventilation, and heavy-duty applications.
Wire Diameter (Thickness of Copper Wire) – Affects durability and strength.
Thin Wire (0.05–0.1 mm) – Lightweight, flexible, used in RF shielding and delicate filtration.
Medium Wire (0.15–0.3 mm) – Balanced strength and flexibility, common in industrial sieving.
Thick Wire (0.4–1.0 mm) – Heavy-duty applications requiring structural rigidity.
Conductivity: Copper natural electrical and thermal conductivity makes it ideal for EMI/RFI shielding and heat dissipation.
Corrosion Resistance: Tinned or phosphor bronze variants enhance longevity in humid or corrosive environments.
Flexibility & Formability: Easily cut, bent, or shaped for custom applications.
| Mesh Type | Typical Applications |
|---|---|
| Fine (100–200 mesh) | - Laboratory filtration - RF/EMI shielding in electronics - Insect screens for precision equipment |
| Medium (30–60 mesh) | - HVAC air filters - EMI shielding for industrial enclosures - Decorative architectural mesh |
| Coarse (4–20 mesh) | - Rodent and pest exclusion - Industrial sieving and grating - Faraday cages |
Milesen’s copper mesh adheres to:
ASTM B152 (Standard Specification for Copper Sheet, Strip, Plate, and Rolled Bar)
RoHS & REACH (Restriction of Hazardous Substances compliance)
ISO 9001 (Quality Management System certification)
Choosing the right copper mesh depends on:
Required filtration level (finer mesh for smaller particles).
Mechanical strength needs (thicker wire for durability).
Environmental conditions (tinned copper for corrosion resistance).
Copper mesh from Milesen offers a customizable solution for industries requiring filtration, EMI shielding, or structural reinforcement. By selecting the appropriate mesh count and wire diameter, users can optimize performance for specific applications while ensuring durability and efficiency.
