Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a lower grade of stainless steel for corrosive environments.Always specify 316 stainless steel for applications involving chlorides or aggressive chemicals to prevent premature corrosion and failure.
Improperly supporting the filter sheet, leading to sagging or deformation.Ensure the support structure provides adequate rigidity and coverage to maintain the sheet's flatness and integrity under operational loads.

Common Applications

  • Chemical processing filtration
  • Food and beverage fluid clarification
  • Marine seawater intake screening
  • Pharmaceutical intermediate filtration

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Handle with care to avoid sharp edges.
  • Ensure proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is used during handling and installation.
  • Verify material compatibility with specific process fluids before deployment.
