Practical Application Cases of Stainless Steel Wire Mesh Gaskets

Stainless steel compressed wire mesh gaskets (304 / 316L) feature a porous elastic structure with excellent high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, shock absorption, sealing and noise reduction performance. They are widely adopted across numerous industries. Typical real application cases are listed as follows:

1. Automotive Industry

Automotive Exhaust System: Compressed stainless steel mesh gaskets are installed at flanges of exhaust pipes, three-way catalytic converters and turbocharger joints. They buffer vibration generated by engines, prevent gas leakage and endure long-term high-temperature exhaust erosion.
EGR System: Mesh gaskets serve as sealing and damping components for exhaust gas recirculation pipelines to stabilize system operation.
New Energy Vehicle Battery Packs: They act as conductive, heat-conducting and shock-absorbing buffer gaskets between battery cells and shell housings to avoid collision damage during driving.

2. General Machinery & Hydraulic Equipment

Applied to sealing and vibration reduction of hydraulic valves, air compressors, vacuum pumps and diesel engine pipeline flanges.
Mounted on motors and fans to weaken vibration transmission and lower operating noise.

3. High-temperature Industrial Equipment

Used for flange sealing of boilers, heat treatment furnaces and high-temperature steam pipelines. Different from non-metallic gaskets, they will not soften or fail under continuous high-temperature conditions.
Served as breathable buffer sealing parts inside metallurgical furnaces.

4. Petrochemical, Filtration & Environmental Protection Equipment

Adopted in oil-gas separation devices and small filter assemblies as supporting and buffering gaskets.
316L stainless steel mesh gaskets are selected for weak acid and alkali fluid pipeline sealing to resist chemical corrosion.
Applied in oil and gas recovery facilities for breathable sealing.

5. Electronic and Communication Equipment

Function as EMI conductive shielding gaskets for communication cabinets and radio frequency components to restrain electromagnetic interference.
Used as shockproof buffer washers for precision sensors and testing instruments.

6. Shipbuilding Industry

316L stainless steel wire mesh gaskets are applied to sealing of ship engine pipelines and exhaust joints. They deliver good resistance against seawater salt spray corrosion suitable for marine working conditions.

7. Refrigeration Equipment

Installed on refrigeration compressors for vibration damping and sealing, improving equipment stability during long-time operation.
