SS / Ti Porous Discs

Sintered porous discs cut from sintered porous sheet or individually pressed as net-shape components. Available in 316L SS or Grade 2 titanium, with the same pore size and porosity range as the tubular elements and plates.

Diameter range φ5–400 mm (Ti) or φ5–300 mm (SS); thickness 0.5–20 mm (Ti) or 0.5–10 mm (SS). Discs can be pressed to net shape in quantity, or cut from sheet for prototype and small-batch orders.

For PEM electrolyzer use, titanium porous discs in cell-specific diameters serve as porous transport layers — specifying controlled porosity (30–45%) and pore size. For in-line filtration, discs are threaded into pipe unions or pressed into housings for point-of-use particle removal.

For flame-arrestor duty, SS316L discs are sintered to a fine, homogeneous pore structure — down to 0.22 µm — that helps quench flame propagation by heat absorption and flow restriction. The rigid sintered structure can typically be cleaned by ultrasonic or thermal methods for repeated reuse. Discs for high-vibration housings or frequent tool changes can be supplied with a 1 mm welded outer reinforcement ring and an electropolished face.

Product Features

Core Advantages of SS/Ti Porous Discs

Wide Diameter Range

φ5 mm instrument-line discs to φ400 mm large-cell electrolyzer components — the same sintering process scales across the full diameter range.

Tight Dimensional Tolerances

±0.1 mm OD and ±0.05 mm thickness as standard. Tighter tolerances for electrolyzer stack components on request.

PEM Stack Components

Ti discs to customer-specified cell geometry, with controlled porosity and pore size, for porous transport layer duty in PEM electrolyzers and fuel cells.

Cleanable and Reusable

Rigid sintered structure survives backwash, acid soak (HNO₃ for Ti; acid or alkali for SS), and ultrasonic cleaning without structural change.

Flame-Arresting Pore Structure

A fine, homogeneous SS316L pore structure down to 0.22 µm absorbs heat and blocks flame propagation — the basis of the disc element used in vent-line and deflagration flame arrestors.

Per-Disc Inspection

Bubble-point or flow-test data available on request. Test records maintained for batch traceability.

Reinforced-Ring Option

A 1 mm welded outer ring with an electropolished face reinforces the disc edge for high-vibration housings and frequent tool changes, without reducing the active filtration area.

Net-Shape or Cut-from-Sheet

Net-shape pressing is available for larger quantities and reduces machining cost. Cut-from-sheet is used for prototypes and small batches.
