Stainless steel pleated filter element and cylindrical filter element

The stainless steel filter element can be in a wrinkled or cylindrical form.

This article will introduce the performance of stainless steel filters and compare the pleated filter element with the cylindrical filter element.

What is a stainless steel filter element

Stainless steel filter element is a filter element made of stainless steel filtering medium and hardware, with the shape of a tube or cylinder, used as a filter element.

What are the application scenarios of stainless steel filter cartridges

Stainless steel filters are more suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure working conditions than most non-metallic filters.

They are suitable for various cleaning methods that are usually unacceptable for non-metallic filters, such as high-pressure water washing, chemical baths, ultrasonic cleaning, heating, and even incineration.

Therefore, stainless steel filter cartridges are the best choice for automatic filters with backwashing or backwashing.

What are the advantages of stainless steel filter cartridges

Compared to non-metallic filters, stainless steel filters have the following advantages:
★ High temperature operation
★ withstand high voltage
★ Washable and reusable
★ Suitable for automatic backwashing/backwashing
★ Anti static electricity
★ Good heat transfer

Shortage/Disadvantages of Stainless Steel Filter Elements

1. Weight. The weight of stainless steel is several times that of non-metallic materials.
2. Cost. Stainless steel filters are more expensive than most non-metallic filters.
3. Corrosion resistance. Although 316L and higher grade stainless steel have good corrosion resistance, in some severe cases, they cannot compete with non-metallic materials such as PTFE
4. Corrosion conditions, such as hydrochloric acid HCL
5. The rated value of the filter is limited. The micrometer rating of stainless steel filters is currently limited to a minimum of 0.5 micrometers, and it is not possible to expand to 0.01 micrometers or smaller in the near future. Therefore, stainless steel filters are now mainly used for filtration in the micrometer and millimeter ranges.
