304/316L stainless steel filter elements are our core filtration product line, manufactured from high-quality austenitic stainless steel wire mesh. This series offers two popular material options to meet diverse requirements, from general-purpose applications to harsh, corrosive environments. With their superior filtration performance, exceptional mechanical strength, and flexible reusability, these filters are an ideal solution for replacing disposable filter elements, achieving cost reduction, increased efficiency, and sustainable development.
| Feature | 304 Stainless Steel Cartridge | 316L Stainless Steel Cartridge |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Advantage | Cost-Effective & Versatile | Superior Corrosion Resistance, especially against chlorides |
| Key Alloy Elements | Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni) | Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni), Molybdenum (Mo) |
| Corrosion Resistance | Good resistance to a wide range of atmospheres, fresh water, and many chemicals. | Excellent and broader resistance. Highly resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion from chlorides and saline environments. |
| Recommended Operating Media | Fresh water, compressed air, oils, lubricants, mild chemicals, general industrial fluids. | Sea water, brines, hypochlorite solutions, strong acids, alkalis, harsh chemical processes. |
| Typical Applications | Pre-filtration, industrial water treatment, hydraulic/pneumatic system protection, general chemical processing. | Coastal facilities, chemical processing, pharmaceutical (API), plating solutions, bleach filtration, high-purity applications. |
| Cost Consideration | More Economical | Higher Initial Cost, but essential for harsh environments. |
- The filter utilizes a composite structure of multiple layers of stainless steel wire mesh with varying degrees of precision, achieving both high-precision interception and high dirt holding capacity, extending its service life.
- 304 stainless steel: Excellent general corrosion resistance, suitable for most water, oil, gas, and various chemical solvents, making it a cost-effective choice. 316L stainless steel: Contains molybdenum (Mo) for enhanced resistance to chlorides, pitting, and crevice corrosion.
- The built-in reinforced support structure withstands pressure differentials up to 4.0 MPa without deformation or cracking, making it suitable for high-pressure and pulse shock conditions.
- It supports multiple cleaning methods, including backwashing, ultrasonic cleaning, and in-line purging, to easily remove both surface and deep-seated dirt with a high performance recovery rate.
- The stable stainless steel material, free of any emissions, guarantees absolute filter media purity, meeting the stringent hygiene standards of the food, pharmaceutical, and electronics industries.
