Common Weave Styles of Woven Wire Cloth

		Plain Weave This is the most commonly used weave. Each weft wire passes alternately over and under each warp wire and each warp wire passes alternately over and under each weft wire. Warp and weft wire diameters are generally the same.
		Twill Weave Each weft wire alternately passes over two, then under two successive warp wires and each warp wire passes alternately over two and under two successive weft wires, in a staggered arrangement. Twill weave is normally used to allow a heavier than standard wire diameter in association with a given mesh.
		Hollander (Dutch) Weave While the warp wires remain straight, the weft wires are plain woven to lie as close as possible against each other in a linen weave forming a dense strong material with small, irregular and twisting passageways that appear triangular when diagonally viewing the weave.
		Hollander Twill Weave Similar to Plain Hollander weave, except that the weave is twilled, allowing a double layer of weft wires. There are no apertures in the true sense of the word as the filtrate follows a sinuous path through the depth of the wire cloth.
		Reverse Hollander Weave This is the reverse of the Plain Hollander (Dutch) weave, in that the weft wires are heavier than the warp wires.
