Sintered Metal Powder Filter Element 0.5 Micron 316L for Oil & Gas Filtration
Product Spotlights
Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory, established in 1998, is a trusted manufacturer specializing in precision filtration solutions. With over two decades of expertise and annual export value exceeding US$5 million, we proudly introduce our Sintered Metal Powder Filter Element 0.5 Micron 316L, designed specifically for demanding oil and gas filtration applications. This element combines the strength of 316L stainless steel with advanced sintering technology to deliver exceptional particle retention, high flow rates, and long service life. Whether you need to remove fine solids from crude oil, natural gas, or petrochemical streams, our filter element provides reliable performance under extreme conditions.
Our manufacturing process utilizes high-quality 316L metal powder, which is compacted and sintered at controlled temperatures to create a homogeneous porous structure. The result is a filter element with uniform pore distribution, excellent mechanical strength, and resistance to corrosion, thermal shock, and pressure surges. The 0.5 micron absolute filtration rating ensures that even sub-micron particles are captured, protecting downstream equipment such as pumps, valves, and compressors from wear and fouling. Below are the key technical specifications:
| Property | Value |
| Filtration Grade | 0.5 micron (absolute) |
| Material | 316L Stainless Steel |
| Porosity Range | 20% – 50% (adjustable) |
| Max Operating Temperature | 600°C (in inert atmosphere) |
| Max Differential Pressure | 50 bar (at 20°C) |
| Available Dimensions | OD: 20–200 mm, Length: 100–1500 mm (customizable) |
| Connection Types | Flange, Thread, Ferrule, or Custom |
Key Features & Benefits:
- High Filtration Efficiency: 0.5 micron absolute rating ensures removal of fine particles, improving product quality and protecting sensitive equipment.
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: 316L stainless steel withstands aggressive fluids, sour gas, and saline environments common in oil and gas operations.
- Thermal Stability: Operates reliably from cryogenic temperatures up to 600°C, suitable for hot gas filtration and steam applications.
- High Mechanical Strength: Sintered structure provides resistance to high pressure differentials and mechanical shock, reducing risk of rupture.
- Reusable & Cleanable: The element can be backwashed, ultrasonically cleaned, or chemically regenerated, extending service life and lowering total cost of ownership.
- Uniform Pore Distribution: Consistent porosity ensures stable flow rates and predictable filtration performance batch after batch.
- Customizable Design: Available in various shapes (cylindrical, disc, pleated) and connection types to fit existing housings.
The sintered metal powder filter element is widely used in:
- Crude oil and natural gas processing
- Petrochemical and refinery filtration
- Hydraulic and lubrication oil systems
- Gas turbine inlet air filtration
- Water injection and produced water treatment
- Chemical and pharmaceutical process filtration

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can the filter element be customized to specific dimensions?
Yes, we offer full customization in terms of outer diameter, length, wall thickness, and connection type. Please provide your housing dimensions or drawing, and we will manufacture accordingly.
Q2: How do I clean and reuse the sintered metal filter element?
Common methods include backwashing with clean fluid, ultrasonic cleaning, or chemical soaking with mild acids or solvents. Avoid using abrasive tools that may damage the porous structure. Detailed cleaning guidelines are provided with each order.
Q3: What is the maximum operating temperature and pressure?
In inert atmospheres, the element can withstand up to 600°C. For oxidizing environments, the limit is lower (around 400°C). Maximum differential pressure is 50 bar at 20°C; higher values are possible with reinforced designs.
Q4: Is the 0.5 micron rating absolute or nominal?
Our 0.5 micron rating is absolute, meaning the filter captures 99.9% of particles larger than 0.5 microns. This is verified by bubble point testing and particle challenge tests.
Q5: What is the typical lifespan of the filter element?
Lifespan depends on operating conditions, contamination load, and cleaning frequency. With proper maintenance, sintered metal filters can last 2–5 years or more, significantly longer than disposable cartridges.
Q6: Can this element be used for gas filtration, such as natural gas?
Yes, it is suitable for both liquid and gas filtration. The high porosity and low pressure drop make it ideal for gas streams, including natural gas, compressed air, and process gases.
Q7: Do you provide any certificates or test reports?
We can provide material certificates, dimensional inspection reports, and bubble point test data upon request. For specific certifications (e.g., ISO, CE), please discuss with our sales team as they are available on a per-order basis.
Q8: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ for standard sizes is 10 pieces. For custom designs, MOQ may be 50–100 pieces depending on complexity. We also offer sample orders for evaluation.
