Sintered metal fiber felt
The finest rating with the highest dirt holding
- Filtration rating: 0.5 – 50 μm
Industries
Sintered metal filter elements in Polymer / Chemical Fiber & Plastics
Melt filtration runs hot and it runs continuously, so dirt-holding capacity and re-generability decide the element before the purchase price does.
- Sintered metal fiber felt 0.5 – 50 μm
- Sintered wire mesh 1 – 200 μm
- Woven wire mesh 5 – 200 μm

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.
