Plain Dutch Weave is primarily used as a filter cloth. The openings slant diagonally through the cloth and cannot be seen by looking directly at the cloth. This weave has a coarser mesh and wire in the warp direction and a finer mesh and wire in the shute direction, giving a very compact, firm mesh with great strength.

Twilled Dutch Weave offers higher strength than regular Dutch weaves. It packs even more wires in a given area. Generally, this weave has finer mesh counts and lower flow than regular Dutch weaves and can be made to filter particles as fine as 2 microns in diameter.
Reverse Dutch Weave is a filter cloth in which the larger count of wires is found in the warp and the smaller count in the shute, thus reversing the method used in Plain and Twilled Dutch Weaves. The warp wires have a smaller diameter than the shute wires and touch each other, while heavier shute wires are woven as tightly together as possible. The result is the strongest filter weave available because of the semi-rectangular opening. It is exceptionally easy to clean or back-wash with no plugging. This filter cloth has an accurate and uniform pore size.
