Compare sintered mesh, metal felt, pleated and reinforced composites, plus stainless-steel, copper, and titanium porous bodies.
Metal elements are selected not only for temperature and pressure, but also for regeneration and long-term process economics. Corrosion, differential-pressure direction, and cleaning method must be verified together.
Multi-layer woven mesh vacuum-sintered into a rigid, dimensionally stable medium.
Dirt capacity depends on layer design and available surface area.
View full dataSintered stainless-steel fibers provide high porosity and a tortuous filtration path.
Cleaning method must match the captured contaminant and felt construction.
View full dataWire mesh or metal felt is pleated to increase filtration area inside a limited housing envelope.
Pleat support, welding, and differential-pressure direction must be confirmed.
View full dataPerforated plate supports woven or sintered media against impact and severe pressure fluctuation.
Open area and support geometry affect pressure drop.
View full dataSintered metal powder forms a uniform three-dimensional porous structure.
Pressure drop and cleanability depend strongly on pore size and element thickness.
View full dataA compact porous structure commonly used for pneumatic exhaust and coarse filtration.
Not a universal substitute for stainless steel in corrosive processes.
View full dataPorous titanium provides a rigid, low-shedding structure with strong corrosion resistance.
Compatibility must still be checked against the actual chemical, temperature, and concentration.
View full dataBackwash, ultrasonic, chemical, and thermal cleaning are not equally suitable for every structure. Confirm contaminant type, pore architecture, and welded assembly limits first.
Alloy grade, working pressure, and temperature limits must be confirmed for the exact model. Category maximums must not be applied to every structure.
