Premium Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Mesh – ASTM A240 Grade 16 Gauge Flattened
As a leading manufacturer from Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd, located in Hengshui, Hebei, China, we specialize in producing high-quality expanded metal meshes for global industrial applications. Our ASTM A240 Grade 16 Gauge Flattened Stainless Steel Expanded Metal Sheet Mesh is engineered to deliver superior strength, corrosion resistance, and a smooth, flat surface that meets the demands of diverse sectors such as construction, filtration, security, and architectural design. This product combines the flexibility of expanded metal with the durability of stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting performance in harsh environments.
Manufactured under strict quality control, our expanded metal sheets are produced from premium stainless steel coils that conform to ASTM A240 standards. The 16 gauge thickness provides an ideal balance between rigidity and workability, while the flattening process removes the natural raised pattern, resulting in a smooth, level surface that is perfect for applications requiring a uniform finish. Whether you need walkway treads, machine guards, decorative panels, or filtration screens, this product offers a reliable solution.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material: Premium stainless steel (ASTM A240 Grade 304 or 316L available upon request), ensuring excellent corrosion resistance and durability.
- Thickness: 16 Gauge (1.5 mm) – robust enough for heavy-duty use while remaining formable.
- Flattened Surface: The expanded metal is passed through a rolling mill to flatten the diamond pattern, providing a smooth, even surface suitable for applications where surface uniformity is critical.
- Standard Diamond Pattern: Consistent opening size and strand width for reliable performance. Custom mesh openings and strand dimensions can be produced to meet specific requirements.
- Sheet Dimensions: Standard 4 ft x 8 ft (1220 mm x 2440 mm). Custom widths and lengths available – please contact our sales team for bespoke sizes.
- Edge Finish: Clean, burr-free edges for safe handling and easy installation.
- Applications: Ideal for walkways, platforms, stair treads, machine guards, security grilles, ventilation grilles, filters, architectural facades, and decorative panels.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What is the difference between flattened and standard expanded metal?
Standard expanded metal has a raised, diamond-shaped pattern with angled strands. Flattened expanded metal is passed through a rolling mill to press the diamond pattern flat, resulting in a smooth, uniform surface. The flattening process also reduces the thickness slightly and provides a more even surface for applications like walkways or decorative panels. -
Which stainless steel grade is best for outdoor use?
For outdoor or corrosive environments, we recommend ASTM A240 Grade 316L stainless steel, which offers superior resistance to chlorides and saltwater. Grade 304 is suitable for indoor or mild environments where cost is a concern. Both grades are available for this product. -
Can you supply custom sizes and shapes?
Yes, we offer customization. Our standard sheet size is 4 ft x 8 ft, but we can cut to your exact dimensions, including non-rectangular shapes. Minimum order quantities may apply for custom sizes – please inquire with our sales team. -
How is the mesh measured – opening size or strand width?
Expanded metal is typically described by its opening size (e.g., 1/2" x 1" diamond) and strand width. The opening size refers to the distance between parallel strands. We can provide detailed specifications for standard patterns or create a custom pattern based on your requirements. -
Is this product suitable for load-bearing applications like walkways?
Yes, 16 gauge flattened stainless steel expanded metal is strong enough for light to medium-duty walkways, platforms, and stair treads. For heavier loads, we recommend consulting our technical team to select the appropriate thickness and pattern. -
What surface finish options are available?
Standard finish is mill finish (smooth, uncoated). For enhanced corrosion resistance or aesthetics, we can also provide passivation, pickling, or a brushed finish upon request. Additional coatings like powder coating or painting are also available but may affect mesh opening dimensions. -
How long does shipping take?
Shipping time depends on your location and order quantity. For standard sizes in stock, we can ship within 7–10 business days. Custom orders typically require 15–25 business days for production. We use reliable freight partners to ensure timely delivery. -
Do you provide samples before bulk order?
Yes, we offer free samples of flattened expanded metal mesh (customer pays shipping). Please contact us with your specifications, and we will arrange a sample for evaluation.
