SS Sintered Mesh Filter Element

Constructed from multiple layers of woven wire mesh, sintered together at high temperature into a single rigid filtration medium. The standard construction is five layers bonded by sintering — not glue, braze, or mechanical fastening — which eliminates layer delamination under pressure cycling and thermal shock.

The filter rating is set by the weave and aperture of the selected mesh layer — from fine Dutch-weave centre layers giving a consistent, repeatable pore size for ratings down to 1 µm, up to coarser plain-weave or twill-weave layers for nominal ratings up to 5,000 µm. Within its rated aperture, the Dutch-weave construction gives the same pore size at every point on the mesh, not just a statistical average.

Material choice covers the full industrial range: 316L for general duty, 310S for service above 600 °C, duplex 2205/2507 for chloride environments, 904L for concentrated acid service, and nickel alloys (Monel 400, Hastelloy C276) for aggressive corrosive media. All materials are supplied with mill test certificates traceable to the relevant ASTM or EN standard.

Product Features

Key Strengths of the SS Sintered Mesh Design

5-Layer Sintered Construction

Outer protective layers, precision filter layer, and support layers are bonded by sintering — no delamination under pressure cycling, hydraulic shock, or temperature swing.

Consistent Filtration Rating

A Dutch-weave centre layer (fine ratings) or plain/twill-weave layer (coarse nominal ratings) provides a uniform pore size across the filtration surface, with consistent particle retention at the rated aperture — no bypass under surge conditions.

Wide Material Range

From standard 316L to Hastelloy C276 — select the alloy for your specific corrosive environment. Mill test certificates and CoC included for all grades.

Fully Regenerable

Backwash, ultrasonic cleaning, and chemical soak (acid or alkali) restore flux without structural damage. No layer separation or fibre shedding.

High Temperature Service

316L elements rated to 400 °C; 310S construction handles continuous service above 600 °C in high-temperature gas filtration.

Custom Aperture and Form

Filter rating 1–5,000 µm (nominal), tube OD 20–200 mm, custom end-cap styles, and non-standard lengths all available to drawing.
