Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using a less corrosion-resistant steel for aggressive media.Always select 316 stainless steel or a higher alloy when handling corrosive fluids or operating in harsh environments.
Improper sealing of the filter sheet within the housing.Thoroughly inspect and ensure all gaskets and seals are correctly installed and compressed to prevent fluid bypass and maintain filtration efficiency.

Common Applications

  • Industrial liquid filtration
