The Stainless Steel Candle Filter Element Skeleton is designed for continuous operation in harsh chemical streams. Its 316L grade ensures resistance to chlorides, acids, and alkalis, making it suitable for solvents, polymers, and pharmaceutical intermediates. The 100 micron mesh provides a consistent barrier against particulate contamination, protecting downstream equipment and enhancing product purity. The 30-inch length is a standard dimension that fits most industrial candle filter vessels, but we also offer custom lengths to match specific housing requirements.
One of the key advantages of this product is its cleanability and reusability. Unlike disposable filter cartridges, the stainless steel skeleton can be backwashed or chemically cleaned, significantly reducing operating costs over time. The robust wire mesh construction resists blinding and deformation, ensuring stable filtration performance over extended service intervals. For chemical processing plants, this translates to less downtime, lower consumable expenses, and a smaller environmental footprint.
Applications & Benefits

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the difference between 304 and 316L stainless steel for this filter element?
A: 316L contains molybdenum, providing superior resistance to chlorides and acidic environments. For chemical processing, 316L is recommended to prevent pitting and crevice corrosion. -
Q: Can this filter element be used in high-temperature steam sterilization?
A: Yes, the standard version can withstand temperatures up to 400°C. For steam sterilization (typically 121-134°C), it is fully compatible. For higher temperature applications, please specify the high-temperature option. -
Q: How do I clean the filter element?
A: The element can be cleaned by backwashing with clean water or solvent, or by ultrasonic cleaning. Avoid using abrasive tools that may damage the mesh. Detailed cleaning guidelines are provided with each shipment. -
Q: What end cap configurations are available?
A: We offer open end with 222/226 O-rings, closed end with threaded connections, or flat gasket ends. Custom end caps can be designed to match your housing. -
Q: Is the 100 micron rating absolute or nominal?
A: This is a nominal rating. For absolute filtration requirements, we can provide elements with tighter tolerances upon request. Please consult our engineering team for specific performance data. -
Q: What is the typical lifespan of this filter element?
A: Lifespan depends on operating conditions and cleaning frequency. With proper maintenance, the 316L skeleton can last several years in chemical service. The reusable design typically offers a 3-5 times longer service life compared to disposable cartridges. -
Q: Do you provide samples for testing?
A: Yes, we offer sample orders for evaluation. Please contact our sales team to discuss sample availability and shipping costs. -
Q: What certifications do you have for quality control?
A: Our factory follows strict internal quality procedures. While we do not list specific certifications here, we can provide test reports for material composition, filtration efficiency, and pressure drop upon request.
