Skeleton Core Filter Cartridge for Oil and Gas Filtration With High Dirt Holding Capacity
Product Spotlights
As a leading manufacturer based in Hengshui, Hebei, China, Anping County Boli Hardware Wiremesh Products Factory has been dedicated to producing high-quality filtration solutions since 1998. Our Skeleton Core Filter Cartridge for Oil and Gas Filtration with High Dirt Holding Capacity is designed to meet the rigorous demands of the oil and gas industry. With an annual export value of US$5–10 million, we serve global markets including North America, South America, Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia, and beyond. This product combines robust construction with exceptional filtration performance, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments while maximizing dirt holding capacity for extended service life.
Our skeleton core design provides superior structural integrity, preventing collapse under high differential pressure. The cartridge is engineered with a deep pleat configuration that increases effective filtration area, allowing it to capture more contaminants before requiring replacement. This translates to fewer changeouts, reduced downtime, and lower operational costs for your facility. Whether used in upstream, midstream, or downstream applications, this cartridge delivers consistent filtration efficiency.
Key Features and Benefits
- High Dirt Holding Capacity: Deep pleat design and optimized media layering allow for up to 50% more dirt holding capacity compared to standard cartridges, reducing replacement frequency.
- Skeleton Core Reinforcement: Perforated stainless steel or polypropylene core provides excellent mechanical strength, preventing deformation even under high flow rates and pressure surges.
- Wide Chemical Compatibility: Available in multiple materials (PP, SS, PTFE) to suit various fluid types, including hydrocarbons, brine, and corrosive chemicals.
- Customizable Specifications: Length, outer diameter, micron rating, end cap types, and seal materials can be tailored to your specific equipment and process requirements.
- Low Pressure Drop: Optimized pleat geometry minimizes flow resistance, reducing energy consumption in your filtration system.
- Easy Installation: Standard end cap configurations (flat, open, spear) ensure compatibility with most housings in the oil and gas industry.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the typical lifespan of the skeleton core filter cartridge?
Lifespan depends on operating conditions and contaminant load. However, with high dirt holding capacity, it often lasts 2–3 times longer than standard cartridges in similar applications. Please consult our technical team for specific estimates. -
Can this cartridge be used for high-temperature applications?
Yes, depending on the media and core material. For temperatures up to 200°C, we recommend stainless steel mesh media with a stainless steel core. For lower temperatures (≤80°C), polypropylene media is suitable. -
What end cap types are available?
We offer flat, open, spear, bayonet, and DOE (double open end) configurations. Custom end caps can be designed to match your housing. -
Is the product compatible with aggressive chemicals like H2S or amines?
Yes, we can provide PTFE membrane or stainless steel media with appropriate seals (Viton or PTFE) to resist chemical attack. Confirm your fluid composition for the best recommendation. -
Do you offer samples for testing before bulk order?
Yes, we provide free samples (shipping cost applies) for customers to evaluate performance in their own systems. Minimum order quantity may apply for custom designs. -
What is the lead time for custom orders?
Standard sizes ship within 15–20 days. Custom orders typically require 25–30 days depending on specification complexity. We can expedite for urgent needs. -
How do I choose the correct micron rating for my application?
Selection depends on the size of particles you need to remove. For general oil and gas filtration, 10–25 μm is common. For fine protection of sensitive equipment, 1–5 μm is recommended. Our engineers can help you determine the optimal rating. -
What packing method is used for export?
Cartridges are individually packed in polybags, then boxed in strong corrugated cartons, or packed in plywood pallets for sea freight. We ensure safe transportation to any destination.
