Plain weave sintered square woven wire mesh is made by sintering multiple layers of plain weave square woven mesh together, and its cross section structure as below picture. Because of the large open area percentages of the square woven wire mesh layers, this type of sintered wire mesh has good permeability characteristics and low resistance to flow. It can be designed with any number and combination of square plain weave wire mesh layers to achieve particular flow and filtration characteristics. It is useful for polymer production, as well as a variety of fluid and air filtration applications.

Another possibility with this type of stainless steel sintered wire mesh is the ability to sinter a large number of layers of square woven wire mesh together to form parts that are very thick and useful as flame and detonation arrestors. These laminates can be inches thick and still be made with high flow characteristics.
