Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using lower grade stainless steel in corrosive environments.Always specify and use 316 stainless steel for its superior resistance to chlorides and pitting corrosion, especially in marine or chemical processing settings.
Improper handling leading to surface contamination.Handle the sheet with clean, non-marring tools and gloves to maintain surface integrity and prevent foreign particle adherence, which can compromise filtration efficacy.

Common Applications

  • Industrial Filtration Media Support
  • Pharmaceutical Processing Screens
  • Food and Beverage Strainers

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Ensure proper ventilation when cutting or fabricating to avoid inhalation of metal dust.
  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including safety glasses and gloves when handling and working with metal sheets.
