Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using the sheet in highly acidic or alkaline environments without appropriate surface treatment.Apply a suitable protective coating or select a more corrosion-resistant material for such aggressive chemical conditions.
Inadequate sealing around the edges, leading to filtration bypass.Ensure a continuous, airtight seal using gaskets or sealants specifically designed for the application's operating pressure and temperature.

Common Applications

  • Coarse particulate pre-filtration
  • Industrial air intake screens
  • Robust liquid strainers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • May rust if exposed to prolonged moisture without protection.
