Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower-grade stainless steel that is susceptible to corrosion in the target application.Always verify the material grade and its suitability for the specific chemical and environmental exposure anticipated in your filtration system. 304 is suitable for many common applications, but higher grades may be necessary for aggressive media.
Inadequate support leading to flexing or deformation of the sheet under pressure or load.Ensure the stock sheet is adequately supported by the filtration housing or frame, particularly in high-pressure applications, to maintain its structural integrity and filtration efficiency.

Common Applications

  • Support media for granular filter beds
  • Component in basket strainers and filter housings
  • Custom fabrication of filter screens and coalescers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper ventilation during cutting, welding, or grinding operations.
