Filter Mesh Sheet

Corrosion-resistant metal mesh filter sheet for industrial separation processes

Component Specifications

Definition
A precision-engineered filter mesh sheet constructed from corrosion-resistant metal alloys, designed as a critical component within corrosion-resistant metal mesh filter media systems. This component provides controlled porosity for particle separation, liquid-solid filtration, and gas purification in aggressive chemical environments where standard materials would degrade.
Working Principle
Operates on the principle of size-exclusion filtration, where fluid passes through precisely sized mesh openings while retaining particles larger than the mesh aperture. The corrosion-resistant properties maintain structural integrity and filtration performance when exposed to acidic, alkaline, or saline environments that would compromise conventional filter materials.
Materials
316L stainless steel, Hastelloy C-276, Inconel 625, Titanium Grade 2, or other corrosion-resistant alloys with specific composition requirements: Cr 16-18%, Ni 10-14%, Mo 2-3% for 316L; Ni 57%, Cr 15.5%, Mo 16% for Hastelloy C-276
Technical Parameters
  • Porosity 25-50%
  • Thickness 0.1-2.0 mm
  • Mesh Count 20-400 mesh
  • Pressure Drop 0.1-5.0 bar at rated flow
  • Wire Diameter 0.025-0.5 mm
  • Surface Finish Electropolished or passivated
  • Filtration Rating 1-500 microns
  • Maximum Temperature 500°C (depending on alloy)
Standards
ISO 9044, ISO 4783, DIN 4188, ASTM E2016

Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes corrosion-resistant filter mesh from standard filter mesh?

Corrosion-resistant filter mesh utilizes specialized alloys (like 316L stainless steel, Hastelloy, or titanium) that maintain structural integrity and filtration performance when exposed to aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, or saline environments where standard carbon steel or basic stainless steel would corrode and fail.

How is mesh count related to filtration performance?

Mesh count (openings per linear inch) inversely correlates with particle retention size—higher mesh counts provide finer filtration but increase pressure drop. The optimal mesh selection balances filtration requirements with system pressure limitations and flow rate needs.

What maintenance is required for corrosion-resistant filter mesh sheets?

Regular inspection for mesh deformation, chemical cleaning with compatible solutions (avoiding hydrochloric acid for stainless steel), and monitoring pressure differentials to identify clogging. Proper handling prevents mechanical damage to the precise mesh structure.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
