Sintered Metal Powder Filter Element Used in Oil and Gas Filtration, 316L Material, 10 Micron
Product Spotlights
Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory, established in 1998, is a professional manufacturer of sintered metal powder filter elements. Our 316L sintered metal powder filter element is specifically designed for demanding oil and gas filtration applications, delivering reliable performance at a 10-micron rating. With over two decades of experience and an annual export value exceeding US$5 million, we provide high-quality filtration solutions trusted by clients across North America, Europe, and beyond.
This filter element is manufactured using advanced powder metallurgy technology, creating a porous structure with excellent mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. The 316L stainless steel material ensures compatibility with aggressive fluids, high temperatures, and high-pressure environments commonly found in oil and gas processing. Whether used for crude oil filtration, natural gas purification, or refinery process streams, this element delivers consistent filtration efficiency and long service life.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material: 316L stainless steel – excellent resistance to corrosion, pitting, and oxidation.
- Filtration Rating: 10 micron absolute – removes fine particles while maintaining high flow rates.
- High Porosity: Up to 40% porosity allows for low pressure drop and high dirt-holding capacity.
- Temperature Resistance: Suitable for continuous operation up to 600°C (optional for high-temp variants).
- Pressure Capability: Designed to withstand differential pressures up to 50 bar (customizable).
- Backwashable: Can be cleaned and reused multiple times, reducing replacement costs.
- Customizable Dimensions: Available in various diameters, lengths, and end cap configurations (threaded, flanged, etc.).
| Parameter | Value |
| Filtration Rating (Absolute) | 10 µm |
| Material Grade | 316L (UNS S31603) |
| Porosity | 30% – 40% |
| Max Operating Temperature | 600°C (optional) |
| Max Differential Pressure | 50 bar (customizable) |
| Standard Dimensions | OD: 20–200 mm, Length: 100–1500 mm |
| End Cap Connection | Threaded (NPT/BSP), Flanged, or Custom |
The sintered structure provides uniform pore distribution, ensuring consistent filtration performance. Unlike wire mesh or woven filters, powder metal elements offer greater depth filtration, capturing particles throughout the thickness of the element. This results in higher dirt-holding capacity and longer intervals between cleaning or replacement.
Advantages for Oil & Gas Filtration
- Enhanced Durability: Withstands extreme operating conditions, including high pressure, temperature fluctuations, and corrosive media.
- Reduced Downtime: Reusable design – easy to clean via backwashing or ultrasonic methods, minimizing maintenance costs.
- Improved Product Quality: 10-micron filtration ensures removal of fine contaminants, protecting downstream equipment and meeting strict industry standards.
- Versatile Compatibility: Suitable for both liquid and gas filtration in upstream, midstream, and downstream applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this filter element?
A: The lifespan depends on operating conditions and the type of contaminants. Under normal oil and gas filtration, the element can be cleaned and reused multiple times, often lasting 1–3 years before needing replacement. -
Q: Can this filter element be used for high-temperature steam filtration?
A: Yes, the 316L material can withstand high temperatures. For steam applications up to 600°C, please confirm your specific requirements so we can recommend the appropriate variant. -
Q: Is the 10-micron rating absolute or nominal?
A: It is an absolute rating, meaning the filter will retain 99.9% of particles larger than 10 microns. -
Q: Do you provide custom sizes?
A: Absolutely. We can customize outer diameter, length, and end cap connections to fit your housing. Please provide your drawing or specifications. -
Q: How do I clean the filter element?
A: Common methods include backwashing with clean fluid, ultrasonic cleaning, or chemical cleaning. We recommend following the guidelines provided with your order. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Our MOQ is typically 10 pieces for standard sizes. For custom orders, MOQ may vary – please contact us for details. -
