03.4 / METAL FILTER TUBES
Custom stainless steel filter cylinders
Formed woven mesh can be combined with perforated support, end caps and connections. Flow direction, support and end seals affect fitting and the filtration path.
Start with a photo or drawing, even if some specifications are still unknown.

- Dimensions
- Tube dimensions: outside diameter A, inside diameter B, length L, ends and connections.
- Filtration requirements
- Mesh count, wire diameter or target filtration rating; confirm the rating definition and verification method.
Dimensions to discuss
Not to scale. Letters identify dimensions to be confirmed.

Common structures & selection priorities
- Construction options
- Woven mesh, support mesh or perforated support; open-ended, capped and various connection configurations.

- Tube dimensions: outside diameter A, inside diameter B, length L, ends and connections.
- Key considerations
- Flow direction changes loading on the filter layer and support location. State the actual flow direction and check support, seals and allowable differential pressure.
Filtration knowledge & FAQs
Does inside-out or outside-in flow matter?
Flow direction changes loading on the filter layer and support location. State the actual flow direction and check support, seals and allowable differential pressure.
Is mesh count the same as filtration rating?
Mesh count describes openings per inch. Aperture also depends on wire diameter and weave; mesh count alone does not establish particle retention.
How do operating pressure and differential pressure differ?
Operating pressure is the system pressure. Differential pressure is the pressure difference across the element. Confirm operating pressure, clean pressure drop and maximum allowable differential pressure.
How are cleaning and maintenance determined?
Confirm cleaning methods, backwash conditions and replacement criteria against the equipment instructions and process medium, rather than appearance alone.
