Nichrome, a popular heating metal is featured of high melting point and, has excellent corrosion resistance of 1400oC. It conducts electricity, resists heat, has high strength and good versatility that determine its uses and applications. In the industrial applications, fine nichrome wire mesh serve as filters for liquids at the elevated temperatures.
Nichrome filter mesh offers supreme filtration capabilities for an extensive range of applications such as pressure, fuel and liquid filters for aerospace, petrochemical, medicine, mining etc. The tight nichrome filter mesh is ideal for filtration and separation of liquids and solids.
Nichrome mesh is commonly used in industry and routine life. It is used at high temperatures around 1500oC, in furnaces and in production of nitric acid. Nichrome mesh is used for drying, dehydration, separation of bulk solid and as filter and belt conveyor.
Uses of Nichrome Mesh
Nichrome mesh is used for filter, dryer and dehydration of materials. In the chemical plants, the mesh is commonly used in centrifuge systems to implement the decisions for different chemical issues.
Comprising of several significant characteristics, Nichrome woven wire mesh is crucial in the various applications.
The Nichrome mesh filter and conveyor belt are used in the chemical industry, petroleum, metallurgy, petroleum, food plants, pharmaceuticals, glass plants etc. Nichrome wire mesh is a popular type of filter media that is usually used to support filter systems.
Nichrome Mesh as a Heating element
This mesh is also a thermal radiative element that is used in the radiative oven for heating foods. Nichrome has high tensile strength and, it is capable to easily function at the high temperatures up to 1250oC. While using in the oven, in addition of its electric resistance properties, the black body emission characteristics of Nichrome are also considered when it is hot.
When nichrome is hot, the produced heat dissipates rapidly, to cool down the element. Large power can be obtained by using Nichrome resistive mesh. The heater is designed to allow the required wavelength result by adjusting the mesh thickness and its surface area for heat radiation. The heating element is then configured into the oven that rapidly produces heat.
