Description
Sintered Metal Fiber Felt Filter Element
The WIRES sintered metal fiber felt filter element is a high-performance filtration product manufactured from precisely laid stainless steel micro-fiber felt, layered and sintered at high temperature to form a rigid, porous filter medium. The resulting graduated pore structure provides exceptional filtration accuracy, high dirt-holding capacity, and outstanding mechanical strength — making it ideal for demanding high-temperature, high-pressure, and corrosive process applications where disposable media elements cannot survive.
Key Features
- Precision sintered construction: Stainless steel micro-fibers (down to micrometer diameter) are layered and sintered to form controlled pore-size gradients for high efficiency and high dirt capacity.
- Wide micron range: Filtration ratings from 1 μm to 80 μm, with absolute-rated performance and excellent particle retention.
- High pressure and temperature: Withstands working pressures up to 31.7 MPa and temperatures up to 300°C.
- Cleanable and reusable: Backwashable and chemically cleanable for extended service life and lower total cost of ownership.
- Corrosion resistant: Standard material 316L stainless steel; also available in 304L, Hastelloy, and other alloys on request.
