Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard aluminum alloys not suited for corrosive environments.Always specify and use Aluminum 6061 or a comparable alloy with documented corrosion resistance for filtering applications.
Inadequate support structure leading to sheet deformation.Design the filtration housing with sufficient structural support to prevent excessive deflection or buckling of the 0.053" sheet under operating pressures.

Common Applications

  • Industrial liquid filtration media support
  • Aerospace and automotive air intake filters
