Reverse Dutch Weave

Reversed dutch weave takes its name from the fact that the warp wires are relatively thin and the weft wires are comparatively thick. In other words, it is exactly the opposite or "the reverse" of normal dutch weaves.

The reverse dutch weave has precisely defined pore openings that are arranged at an angle to the surface of the fabric. Due to the larger number of warp threads, this provides a significantly increased free cross section that is effective for filtering. Depending on specifications, this is approx. 21% - 25 %. As a result, RDW filters have a good to very good contaminant retention capability. The inverted dutch weave is available in "heavy" and "light" versions. The lighter version achieves an increased filter cross-section of 25% - 38 % due to the special combination and number of wires.
