Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material: Premium 316L stainless steel — excellent corrosion resistance, suitable for aggressive water environments including chlorinated, acidic, or alkaline solutions.
- Filtration Precision: 50 micron nominal rating — effectively removes sand, rust, scale, and other suspended particles down to 50 microns.
- Length: 40 inches (1016 mm) — standard size for most industrial filter housings; other lengths available upon request.
- Structure: Skeleton (perforated core) design — provides high mechanical strength, supports high differential pressure, and allows easy backwashing or chemical cleaning.
- Durability: High durability — can be cleaned and reused many times, reducing replacement costs and waste.
- Temperature Range: -20°C to 250°C (depending on gasket material) — suitable for hot water and steam filtration.
- Flow Rate: High flow capacity due to open area and large filtration surface.
- Customization: End cap types (DOE, 222, 226, etc.) and gasket materials (Buna-N, EPDM, Viton) available upon request.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is the difference between a skeleton filter cartridge and a pleated filter cartridge?
A: A skeleton filter cartridge typically uses a perforated stainless steel core (skeleton) with a wire mesh or screen layer, offering high strength and cleanability. Pleated cartridges have a folded filter media, which increases surface area but may not be as re-usable. Our skeleton cartridge is designed for repeated cleaning and heavy-duty applications. -
Q: Can this cartridge be backwashed?
A: Yes, the 316L stainless steel skeleton structure allows effective backwashing with water or air. The durable construction withstands repeated backwash cycles without damage. -
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature?
A: The cartridge itself can withstand up to 250°C, but the actual temperature limit depends on the gasket material used. For high-temperature applications, we recommend high-temperature silicone or Viton gaskets. -
Q: Is this cartridge suitable for drinking water treatment?
A: Yes, 316L stainless steel is food-grade and safe for potable water. However, please ensure that the end cap gaskets are also NSF-approved if required for your local regulations. -
Q: What end cap options are available?
A: We offer standard DOE (double open end), 222 O-ring, 226 O-ring, and flat gasket configurations. Custom end caps can be manufactured upon request. -
Q: How long does this cartridge last?
A: The service life depends on the water quality and cleaning frequency. With proper maintenance (backwashing or chemical cleaning), a 316L stainless steel skeleton cartridge can last years, significantly reducing replacement costs. -
Q: Do you provide samples before bulk order?
A: Yes, we offer sample support. Please contact us with your requirements, and we can arrange samples for evaluation. The sample cost is negotiable and can be deducted from the bulk order. -
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: Our MOQ is typically 50 pieces for standard sizes. For customized products, the MOQ may vary. Please contact our sales team for specific details.
