Stainless woven mesh as column packing

[savagedavid]

In my head this seems logical but I want some expert opinions. I happen to have most of a sheet of 316SS woven stainless mesh left over from another project. Is there any issue with just rolling it up into a cylinder (roughly 500mm high) and using that as column packing in my reflux head? In my mind it would be the same as 5 pieces of 100mm copper mesh. Am I missing anything obvious here?
