Superior Steel Overseas Wire Cloth is more than just a manufacturer of stainless wire cloth, we are the expert weaver. As ‘the source’, Superior Steel Overseas offers a broad range of industrial wire cloth – Space Cloth, Mesh Cloth, and even Micronic Filter Cloth. Many items are considered ‘Stock’ and are ready for immediate shipment. Your choice of wire sizes may range from 1″ diameter down to wire sizes finer than human hair. Mesh opening sizes range from 4″ and larger down to one micron (.00003937 inch). With such wide variation, Newark Wire produces a variety of versatile weaves. The type of weave is frequently dictated by the wire diameter or the opening size desired, or by a combination of these factors, types and materials to suit virtually any requirement. Since stainless wire cloth is produced in such varying combinations of wire diameter and opening size, its use has been widely accepted throughout the industry. It is extremely versatile in application. Whether you’re sizing, separating, sifting, filtering or protecting, industrial wire cloth will do the job. Wire Cloth is a woven product. The term Weave refers to the different types of interwoven warp and shute wire patterns found in the mesh.

Wire Cloth stocks many standard industrial wire cloth specifications. Whether you’re looking for a Market Grade specification or an ASTM E-11 designation, we will have it on the shelf or we can source it through our extensive network of worldwide weavers. We offer a complete range of wire cloth: from coarse mesh having as much as a 4” opening (between the wires) to a 635 mesh which has a 20-micron opening.

We stock material conforming to many of the following specifications –

  • Market Grade Wire Cloth
  • ASTM E 11
  • ASTM E 2016
  • ASTM E 437

    • Most wire cloth specifications can be supplied in any material: 304 SS, 316 SS, Hastelloy, Titanium, Inconel, Silver, Aluminum, Nichrome and others.


    Wire Cloth is produced as a woven or a welded specification. Welded mesh is only available in a relatively few specification as compared to the woven product. In the manufacturing process each individual wire intersection is resistance spot welded; no filler metal is added.
