Detailed Product Description
Our 316L stainless steel corrugated filter element is manufactured using precision winding and pleating processes to ensure consistent pore size and structural integrity. The corrugated (pleated) geometry dramatically increases the effective filtration area without increasing the overall cartridge size, resulting in lower pressure drop and higher flow rates. The 20 micron rating is ideal for removing fine particles from liquids such as water, chemicals, oils, and pharmaceuticals, as well as from gases like compressed air and natural gas.
Each cartridge is thoroughly cleaned and passivated after production to remove any surface contaminants and to enhance corrosion resistance. The 316L grade offers superior resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking, making it an excellent choice for seawater, brine, and chemical processing applications. The all-metal construction eliminates the risk of media migration often associated with polymeric filters, ensuring a pure filtration outcome.
These filter elements are widely used in:
- Petrochemical and refining industries
- Chemical processing and catalyst recovery
- Pharmaceutical and biotechnology
- Food and beverage (beer, wine, spirits)
- Water treatment (industrial, wastewater, reverse osmosis pre-filtration)
- Oil and gas (wellhead, pipeline, injection)
- Compressed air and gas purification

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for this filter element?
A: The 316L stainless steel cartridge can withstand up to 450°C in air and 600°C in inert gas environments. However, the actual temperature limit may depend on the gasket material used. Please specify your temperature requirements when ordering. -
Q: Can this filter be cleaned and reused?
A: Yes, the all-metal construction allows for repeated cleaning via backwashing, ultrasonic cleaning, or chemical regeneration. Proper cleaning can restore most of the original filtration capacity, reducing replacement frequency. -
Q: Is the 20 micron rating absolute or nominal?
A: Our 20 micron rating is absolute, meaning the filter will retain 99.9% of particles larger than 20 microns. For critical applications, we can provide bubble point test data upon request. -
Q: What lengths are available?
A: Standard lengths are 10, 20, 30, and 40 inches. Custom lengths can be produced to match your housing dimensions. Please consult our sales team for non-standard sizes. -
Q: Do you offer samples before bulk order?
A: Yes, we provide sample cartridges for evaluation. The sample cost is reasonable, and we can ship via express courier. Please contact us to arrange a sample order. -
Q: What end cap configurations are available?
A: Common options include double open end (DOE), flat cap with gasket, and custom designs. We can also add silicone, EPDM, or Viton O-rings as required. -
Q: Can I use this filter for corrosive chemicals?
A: 316L stainless steel offers excellent resistance to many acids, alkalis, and chlorides. However, for highly corrosive media, we recommend reviewing chemical compatibility or choosing a higher-grade alloy like Hastelloy. Our team can advise based on your specific fluid. -
Q: How long is the lead time?
A: For standard sizes, lead time is typically 15-25 working days. Custom orders may take 30-35 days. Urgent orders can be expedited at an additional cost.
