Application Scenarios of Stainless Steel Compressed Wire Mesh Gaskets

Stainless steel compressed wire mesh gaskets are generally made of 304 or 316L stainless steel wire mesh through compression. With porous elastic structure different from solid metal gaskets, they integrate multiple functions including sealing, shock absorption, noise reduction, filtration, buffering, electrical conduction and heat dissipation.

1. Automotive Industry (Largest Application Field)

Automotive exhaust systems: flange gaskets for exhaust pipes and connecting gaskets of three-way catalytic converters. They withstand high temperature and exhaust corrosion, buffer engine vibration and prevent air leakage.
Sealing gaskets for turbocharger joints and EGR exhaust gas recirculation pipelines.
New energy vehicle battery modules: shock-absorbing, heat-conducting and conductive buffer gaskets for battery cells, as well as shockproof sealing parts for battery housings.
Shock absorption buffer gaskets for air compressors and vacuum pumps.

2. Construction Machinery & General Mechanical Equipment

Sealing and buffering for hydraulic and pneumatic valve assemblies and pump bodies.
Shock absorption and noise reduction gaskets for fans, motors and air compressors to cut down vibration transmission.
Flange sealing for pipelines of internal combustion engines and diesel engines.
Buffering for vibrating equipment to reduce abrasion caused by hard metal contact.

3. Piping & High-temperature Industrial Equipment

Flange sealing for high-temperature pipelines, boilers and heat treatment equipment (suitable for medium and high-temperature working conditions).
Joint sealing for gas and steam valves.
Buffering and breathable sealing gaskets inside metallurgical and heat treatment furnaces.
Advantages: No easy aging under high temperature; preferred alternative when non-metallic gaskets fail to work.

4. New Energy Industry

Shock absorption, thermal and conductive buffer gaskets for lithium batteries and energy storage PACK modules.
Breathable support and sealing components for hydrogen energy equipment and fuel cells.
Vibration and noise reduction for photovoltaic inverters and heat dissipation modules.

5. Petrochemical, Fluid & Filtration Equipment

Support gaskets for small filters and buffer mesh gaskets for oil-gas separation.
Pipeline sealing for fluids under weak acid and alkali environments (316L offers better corrosion resistance).
Breathable sealing parts for oil and gas recovery equipment.

6. Electronic & Precision Equipment

Conductive shielding gaskets for communication cabinets and RF components to suppress EMI electromagnetic interference.
Shockproof supports for precision instruments.
Buffer washers for sensor installation.

7. Other Industries

Vibration and noise reduction for air compressors and refrigeration compressors.
Pipeline sealing for marine equipment (316L is recommended for seawater corrosion resistance in marine environments).
Breathable buffer gaskets for dust removal equipment.
Brief Selection Guidelines
Sealing + high-temperature shock absorption: automotive exhaust, high-temperature pipelines → Grade 304
Seawater, acid & alkali corrosive environments: shipping, chemical industry → Grade 316L
Conductive shielding, new energy batteries: high-density compressed mesh gaskets
Breathability + buffering: filtration and hydrogen energy equipment → low-density mesh
