Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between 316 and 316L stainless steel for filters?
A: 316L has lower carbon content (max 0.03%) compared to 316 (max 0.08%), which provides better weldability and resistance to intergranular corrosion in welded applications. For wedge wire filters, the wire is typically 316, while end caps are 316L to ensure strong, corrosion-resistant welds. -
Q: Can I get a filter with a different slot size?
A: Yes, we offer custom slot sizes from 0.1mm to 10mm. The 0.5mm slot is standard for this model, but we can produce other sizes upon request. Please contact us with your requirements. -
Q: What is the maximum operating pressure for this filter?
A: The maximum pressure depends on the filter length and support structure. Typically, our 3-inch OD wedge wire filters can handle up to 10 bar (145 psi) under normal conditions. For higher pressures, we can reinforce the design. Please provide your operating parameters. -
Q: How do I clean the filter?
A: The V-shaped slot design allows effective backwashing. Simply reverse the flow direction to dislodge trapped particles. For heavy fouling, chemical cleaning or ultrasonic cleaning can be used. The 316L end caps are resistant to most cleaning agents. -
Q: What end cap connections are available?
A: We offer threaded (NPT or BSP), flanged (ANSI, DIN, JIS), or plain end caps. The standard for this model is threaded, but we can customize based on your system. Let us know the connection type needed. -
Q: Do you provide samples before bulk order?
A: Yes, we can provide samples for evaluation. Sample cost and shipping are negotiable. For established clients, sample fee may be waived. Contact our sales team for details. -
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: For standard sizes, lead time is 15-20 working days. Custom orders may take 20-30 working days depending on quantity and complexity. We strive to meet urgent deadlines when possible. -
Q: Can I use this filter for high-temperature applications?
A: Yes, 316/316L stainless steel can withstand temperatures up to 400°C (752°F) in non-oxidizing environments. However, for continuous use above 300°C, please consult our engineers to ensure proper design.
