Perforated Metal Screen 316L Stainless Steel 0.5mm Hole 10% Open Area for Pharmaceutical Filtration
Product Spotlights
At Anping Xinye Metal Wire Mesh Products Co., Ltd, located in Hengshui, Hebei, China, we specialize in precision-engineered perforated metal screens. Our 316L Stainless Steel Perforated Metal Screen with a 0.5mm hole diameter and 10% open area is specifically designed for demanding pharmaceutical filtration applications. This product combines the superior corrosion resistance of 316L stainless steel with an optimized hole pattern to achieve consistent particle retention and excellent flow dynamics.
Our manufacturing process ensures tight tolerances and burr-free holes, making this screen suitable for both solid-liquid separation and air/gas filtration in cleanroom environments. The 10% open area is carefully calculated to balance filtration efficiency with mechanical strength, ensuring long service life even under repeated sterilization cycles.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- High-grade 316L Stainless Steel – Excellent resistance to chlorides, acids, and alkaline solutions; ideal for pharmaceutical and biotech environments.
- Precise 0.5mm Hole Diameter – Suitable for retaining particles down to 0.5mm while allowing effective liquid or gas passage.
- 10% Open Area – Optimized for minimal pressure drop and consistent filtration performance.
- Burr-Free Edges – Each hole is deburred to prevent particle entrapment and facilitate cleaning.
- Customizable Dimensions – Available in various sheet sizes, thicknesses, and shapes (round, square, or custom patterns).
- Optional Surface Treatments – Passivation, electropolishing, or ultrasonic cleaning upon request.

Product Advantages & Customer Benefits
- Enhanced Filtration Efficiency – The uniform 0.5mm holes provide reliable particle retention, reducing the risk of contamination in pharmaceutical processes.
- Superior Durability – 316L stainless steel withstands repeated autoclaving, CIP/SIP cleaning, and exposure to aggressive chemicals without degradation.
- Low Maintenance – Smooth surface finish and deburred holes minimize fouling and simplify cleaning, extending the screen's service life.
- Cost-Effective – Compared to woven wire mesh, perforated metal offers higher rigidity and longer lifespan, reducing replacement frequency.
- Regulatory Compliance – Our manufacturing process follows strict quality controls; material certifications (e.g., EN 10204 3.1) are available upon request.
- Customization – We can produce screens with different hole sizes, open areas, thicknesses, and edge preparations to match your exact application requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for this screen?
A: 316L stainless steel can withstand continuous temperatures up to 870°C (1600°F) in oxidizing environments; however, for pharmaceutical applications, typical sterilization temperatures (121°C–134°C) are well within the safe range. -
Q: Can the screen be used for both liquid and gas filtration?
A: Yes, the 0.5mm hole size and 10% open area are suitable for clarifying liquids (e.g., syrups, solvents) and filtering gases (e.g., compressed air, exhaust) in pharmaceutical processes. -
Q: Do you provide material certificates?
A: Yes, we can provide a mill test certificate (EN 10204 3.1) and other documentation upon request. Please specify your requirements when ordering. -
Q: How should I clean the perforated screen?
A: For most applications, ultrasonic cleaning with a mild detergent, followed by rinsing with deionized water, is recommended. Autoclaving or steam sterilization is also acceptable. -
Q: Can you cut the screen to non-standard shapes?
A: Absolutely. We offer custom cutting, bending, and welding services. Please provide a drawing or detailed dimensions. -
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: For standard sizes and quantities, lead time is 7–10 working days. Custom orders may require 15–20 working days. Express shipping is available upon request. -
Q: Is the screen available in a roll form?
A: Perforated metal screens are supplied as flat sheets. If you require a flexible mesh, we recommend our woven wire mesh products. Contact us for alternatives. -
Q: How do I ensure the screen fits my filtration housing?
A: Provide your housing dimensions, bolt hole pattern, and pressure requirements. Our engineering team can design a custom screen with gaskets or edge reinforcements.
