Sintered metal filter elements in General & Emerging Duties

Equipment protection and the newer duties, where the element is a component of something else rather than the product itself.

  • Woven wire mesh 5 – 200 μm
  • Sintered wire mesh 1 – 200 μm
  • Sintered metal fiber felt 0.5 – 50 μm

Media

The medium this duty points to

Woven wire mesh for distribution and support layers · sintered wire mesh 1 – 200 μm for protectable, cleanable duty · sintered fiber felt 0.5 – 50 μm for fine coalescing

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

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.
