Product Spotlights
Welcome to Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory, a trusted manufacturer with over 25 years of experience in the wire mesh and filtration industry. Established in 1998, we have supplied high-quality sintered metal filter cartridges to global markets including North America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Our 5-Inch Sintered Metal Filter Cartridge with 1/4 NPT, 100 Micron, and 150 PSI rating is specifically engineered for gas separators, providing reliable particle removal and long service life. With an annual export value of US$5–10 million, we combine precision manufacturing with rigorous quality control to deliver consistent performance.
This filter cartridge is designed to meet the demanding requirements of gas separation systems, where efficient filtration of solid contaminants is critical. The sintered metal construction offers excellent mechanical strength, thermal stability, and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for both natural gas, biogas, and industrial gas applications. Let us walk you through the key features, technical specifications, and benefits of this product.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material: Sintered stainless steel powder (304 or 316L optional) – offers high porosity, uniform pore distribution, and excellent durability.
- Filtration Precision: 100 micron absolute rating – effectively removes particles down to 100 microns, protecting downstream equipment.
- Dimensions: 5 inches (nominal length) with standard 1/4 NPT female thread connection for easy installation.
- Pressure Rating: 150 PSI (max operating pressure) – suitable for moderate-pressure gas separator systems.
- Temperature Range: -20°C to 400°C (depending on seal material) – withstands high-temperature gas streams.
- Flow Capacity: Optimized for gas flow with low pressure drop – maintains system efficiency.
- Reusability: Cleanable and reusable – can be backflushed or ultrasonically cleaned to extend service life.
- Customization: Available in other micron ratings (20, 50, 200 micron), lengths, and connection types upon request.

Advantages & Customer Benefits
- Enhanced Gas Purity: The 100 micron filtration level ensures that solid contaminants such as rust, scale, and pipeline debris are captured, preventing damage to valves, compressors, and other gas handling equipment.
- Long Service Life: Sintered metal filters are robust and can be cleaned repeatedly, reducing replacement costs. Typical lifespan exceeds that of disposable cartridges by 3–5 times.
- Low Pressure Drop: The porous structure provides high flow rates with minimal resistance, helping maintain gas separator efficiency.
- Corrosion & Heat Resistance: Stainless steel construction withstands corrosive gases (e.g., sour gas) and high temperatures, making it ideal for harsh environments.
- Easy Installation: Standard 1/4 NPT thread fits most gas separator housings; no special tools required.
- Customizable Options: We can adjust micron rating, length, thread type, and end cap design to match your specific filtration system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the typical application of this filter cartridge?
A: It is designed for gas separators, natural gas pipelines, biogas systems, and industrial gas filtration where removing solid particles down to 100 microns is required. -
Q: Can this cartridge be used for liquid filtration?
A: While primarily designed for gas, it can also be used for low-viscosity liquids such as water or light oils, provided the pressure and temperature are within limits. Please consult us for specific liquid applications. -
Q: How do I clean and reuse the filter?
A: The sintered metal element can be cleaned by backflushing with clean gas or liquid, or by ultrasonic cleaning in a suitable solvent. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the metal. Proper cleaning can restore over 90% of original flow capacity. -
Q: What is the maximum pressure drop allowed?
A: The initial pressure drop is very low (typically <0.5 PSI at rated flow). The maximum recommended pressure drop before cleaning is 15 PSI, but this depends on the system. We recommend monitoring differential pressure. -
Q: Do you offer different micron ratings?
A: Yes, we can produce filter cartridges from 20 micron up to 200 micron. Custom micron ratings are available upon request. Please specify your requirement. -
Q: Is this cartridge compatible with all gas separator housings?
A: The 1/4 NPT thread is a common standard. However, please verify your housing thread size and length. We can also supply adapters or custom threads (e.g., BSP, G thread) if needed. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: For standard sizes, MOQ is 100 pieces. For custom orders, MOQ may vary. We can accommodate small trial orders for new clients. -
Q: How long is the lead time?
A: For standard products, lead time is 7–15 days after order confirmation. For custom items, it may be 20–30 days depending on complexity.
