Sintered metal fiber felt
The finest rating with the highest dirt holding
- Filtration rating: 0.5 – 50 μm
Industries
Sintered metal filter elements in Automotive & Mobility
Engine, driveline and exhaust duty where the element sees vibration, thermal cycling and a long service interval.
- Sintered metal fiber felt 0.5 – 50 μm
- Sintered wire mesh 1 – 200 μm
- Woven wire mesh 5 – 200 μm

Media
The medium this duty points to
Sintered fiber felt 0.5 – 50 μm for oil and fuel duty · sintered wire mesh and woven wire mesh for support and protection layers
Sintered wire mesh
Rigid duty: backwash, pulse-jet, high ΔP
- Filtration rating: 1 – 200 μm
Woven wire mesh
Coarser ratings, and the support layers of the two beside it
- Filtration rating: 5 – 200 μm
Elements
Elements we quote for this duty
The elements in the range whose own pages name this duty.
The range is quoted against your duty rather than filed by industry — the three media are on the product archive.

The Quote
What we need to quote it
Seven inputs settle the medium, the rating and the alloy. Send what you have and an engineer confirms the rest.
- Operating temperature, and the peaks it reaches
- The medium, and any corrosive species in it
- Operating and differential pressure
- The contaminant, and its particle size distribution if it has been analysed
- The required rating, plus any bubble point or air permeability target
- Flow rate, and the number of elements per housing
- The geometry or the OEM number of the element you run today
Industries
Other duties in this section
The rest of the twelve, each with its own systems, filter positions and medium.
Send the duty, not the part number.
Temperature, the medium and what is in it, the pressure, the flow and the alloy you run today are enough to start. An engineer names the medium, sets the rating, and says where the duty exceeds what we build. If you already have a drawing or an OEM number, send that instead: it is the faster route to a quote.
