316L Stainless Steel Filter Drier Screen, 200 Mesh, 5/8" Tube OD, 350 PSI
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer with over two decades of expertise, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory proudly presents our 316L Stainless Steel Filter Drier Screen – a precision-engineered component designed for superior filtration in refrigeration and HVAC systems. This 200-mesh screen, with a 5/8" tube outer diameter and a robust 350 PSI rating, ensures reliable removal of contaminants, protecting your system from damage and extending equipment life. Our factory, established in 1998 and exporting US$5–10 million annually, combines advanced weaving technology with strict quality control to deliver consistent, high-performance products.
The 316L Stainless Steel Filter Drier Screen is crafted from low-carbon stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion resistance and durability even in harsh environments. The 200-mesh (200 openings per linear inch) effectively traps particles as small as 74 microns, preventing clogging of expansion valves, capillary tubes, and compressors. The 5/8" tube OD fits standard refrigerant lines, making it a direct replacement for many OEM filter drier elements. With a working pressure of 350 PSI, it is suitable for both low- and high-pressure refrigerants, including R-134a, R-410A, R-404A, and others.

Our 316L Stainless Steel Filter Drier Screen offers distinct advantages for HVAC and refrigeration professionals. The 200-mesh weave provides an optimal balance between contaminant removal and flow efficiency, minimizing pressure drop while maximizing protection. The 5/8" tube OD is a common size for filter driers, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of systems. Additionally, the 350 PSI rating allows use in both low- and medium-pressure applications, reducing the need for multiple inventory items.
For end users, these screens translate into reduced system downtime, fewer compressor failures, and lower maintenance costs. By trapping dirt, metal shavings, and other debris, they prevent damage to expansion valves, preventing costly repairs. The 316L stainless steel construction also withstands moisture and acid formation, common in refrigeration systems, ensuring long-term reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What is the difference between 316 and 316L stainless steel? 316L has a lower carbon content (max 0.03% vs 0.08% for 316), which minimizes carbide precipitation during welding, making it more resistant to intergranular corrosion. It is ideal for applications where the screen may be brazed or welded.
- Can this screen be used with R-410A refrigerant? Yes, the 350 PSI rating is sufficient for R-410A systems, which typically operate at high pressures. However, you should confirm the maximum working pressure of your specific system.
- Is the 5/8" tube OD the inside or outside diameter? It is the outside diameter (OD) of the tube. The inner diameter may vary based on the wall thickness of the screen cylinder. Please contact us for detailed dimensions.
- What is the typical pressure drop across this screen? At nominal flow rates, the pressure drop is minimal (typically less than 1-2 PSI). For precise values, please provide your flow rate and system conditions, and we can calculate.
- Do you offer custom lengths or mesh sizes? Yes, we can customize the length, mesh count (100 to 400 mesh), and tube OD (1/4" to 1") based on your requirements. Minimum order quantities may apply for custom sizes.
- How should I install this filter screen? It can be brazed, soldered, or mechanically clamped into the refrigerant line. Ensure the screen is clean and avoid overheating during brazing to prevent damage.
- Is this product suitable for marine or corrosive environments? Yes, 316L stainless steel offers excellent resistance to chlorides and saltwater, making it a good choice for marine HVAC systems.
- Do you provide samples before bulk order? Yes, we can provide samples for evaluation. Please contact our sales team with your shipping details.
