I am looking for small quantities of stainless steel mesh, say 150mm x 150mm. I found a company on the internet that makes mesh but sells it in huge rolls o 100m or more. I am looking for a plain woven mesh listed on this companies web site as #20 and #40, which I think represents the number of threads per inch. Any ideas?

Maidstone Engineering do it in stainless & Bronze but look for GAUZE

Thanks Jason. I had a look and found it.

 

I am having a problem with a gas poker type burner for a single flue type boiler in a 16mm steam train. I found a reference in an American steam train forum which suggested wrapping some ss mesh around the poker to create a radiant heater rather than the simple blue gas flame. It was much more efficient at  raising steam. I would like to try it.

You could also look at wires.co.uk

I have used them in the past and found them good.

I have obtained stainless mesh from  J A Crew Engineeing Supplies – sold in pieces 6" square (or other sizes on request.  Various mesh sizes up to 100 in stock, others available to order).

 

Listed on the site under "stainless gauze".

Thanks Anthony and Roger. Couldn’t find J A Crew on the web, so ordered some mesh and stainless wire from wires.co.uk.

Strange, as their site was working last night when I tried it, and Googling J A Crew brings up their site straight away.

 

My link didn’t work out for some reason – try http://www.jacrew.net

 

A bit late now as you have already ordered, but it is worth a look around their site as I have found some useful ‘odds and ends’ on there in the past.  A nice chap to deal with as well

Hi Anthony

 

Funny that. I also Googled but could not access the site that was listed. But I have just tried again with the address you gave and found a site which I can’t access because it is only suitable for Internet Explorer and I am using Mozilla Firefox.

 

However I did get a telephone number from a Model Engineer Index, and I rang them Monday and ordered some mesh. So I should end up with a selection of different meshes, which will enable me to experiment. J A Crew has been bought up by some else – I didn’t catch his name, but he builds 71/4 gauge locos.

 

Thanks again. Eddie
