Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using undersized or inadequately supported sheets for high-pressure filtration.Always ensure the stock sheet is cut and installed to provide sufficient structural support for the intended operating pressures and flow rates.
Allowing contact with incompatible materials that could cause galvanic corrosion.Maintain material compatibility throughout the filtration system to prevent premature degradation of the stainless steel.

Common Applications

  • High-pressure filter media support
  • Robust filter housing fabrication
  • Industrial separator components

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment to avoid cuts from sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or welding to prevent exposure to metal fumes.
