SS Sintered Powder Filter Element
316L SS powder, vacuum-sintered into a rigid, uniform-pore structure. Bubble-point test data available on request per ASTM F316.
SS Sintered Powder Filter Element
Select cleaning chemistry, temperature and reverse-flow pressure for the material and deposited contaminants. Reuse depends on inspection and agreed performance checks after cleaning; unchanged structure or unlimited regeneration is not guaranteed.
A polished outer surface is available on customer request. The smooth finish reduces particle adhesion on the cartridge exterior, extending the interval between cleanings and making visual inspection easier — particularly useful in pharmaceutical production and hygienic process environments.
End connections are supplied in all standard types to suit the housing: DOE (double open end), 222/226 O-ring quick-connect, M20 or M30 threaded end, 1″ NPT, and fin-end configurations — all to customer specification.

Engineering Advantages of SS Sintered Powder Elements
Backwashable and Reusable
Reverse gas pulse, liquid backwash, 5% HNO₃ soak, or ultrasonic cleaning. The sintered metal structure is typically regenerable over repeated cleaning cycles, subject to service conditions and cleaning method.
All-Metal Filtration Structure
No binder or polymer filtration layer is used in the 316L sintered matrix, helping reduce media migration risk in pharmaceutical, food, and semiconductor-related service.
Rated to 400 °C (alloy and duty dependent)
All-metal filter body; assembly temperature limits depend on the seals, connections and service conditions.
Custom Dimensions
Non-standard OD, length, wall thickness, and end-cap configuration to drawing — including a threaded end connection, an O-ring quick-connect for snap-in housings, or a large-bore NPT/BSP port. Typical lead time 3–5 weeks for custom items.
Smooth External-Polish Finish
An optional polished outer surface — available on both 316L and titanium elements — resists particle build-up and extends the interval between cleanings, for vacuum-pump protection, exhaust, and catalyst-recovery duty.
Material Compatibility Requires Process Review
316L compatibility depends on the medium, concentration, temperature, chloride level, oxidizing conditions, crevices and flow. Provide the actual process conditions for a material recommendation and, where needed, corrosion testing. Titanium or a higher-alloy material may be appropriate for aggressive service.
Typical Applications for SS Sintered Powder Elements
API Decarburization
Pre-polishing filtration of pharmaceutical active ingredients and solvents. Tightly-controlled pore size limits carbon particle carry-over into product.
1–5 µm · CoCRO Pre-filtration
Backwashable when suitable for the process; cleaning and replacement intervals require validation.
5–20 µm · 316L · BackwashableChemical Intermediate Filtration
Specify liquid composition, concentration, temperature, pressure, flow and cleaning method before selecting 316L. FILTURE can review the service conditions and recommend a suitable alloy and element configuration.
0.5–20 µm · Process review requiredPetroleum Product Polishing
Terminal filtration of refined petroleum products and hydraulic fluids before storage or dispatch. Removes particulate to specification.
5–25 µm · High pressure · 316LCompressed Gas Filtration
Particle and aerosol removal from N₂, H₂, compressed air, and process gases. Pressure rating depends on wall thickness — heavier wall sections available for higher-pressure lines.
0.22–5 µm · Dry serviceSemiconductor Process Gas
Particle removal from bulk gas delivery lines — N₂, Ar, H₂. Low particle-release risk; cleanroom-style packaging available on request.
0.5–2 µm · Clean-packPneumatic Muffler and Flame Arrestor
Porous metal components for flame-arrestor applications require validation in the complete assembly for the specified gas group, installation, temperature and pressure. Pore size alone does not establish flame-arresting performance. Cleaning and reuse require an agreed procedure and reassessment; no complete-device certification is asserted here.

Externally polished elements resist particle build-up on vacuum-pump inlet protection, fermentation exhaust, and catalyst-recovery filtration — extending intervals between cleanings.
