Round and Rectangular Filter Wire Mesh Discs: Precise Particle Separation
Filter Discs and Wire Mesh Discs are circular filtration elements designed for precise particle separation. Made from various materials and weave patterns, these discs excel in removing contaminants from liquids and gases. Filter discs offer high flow rates and efficient filtration, while wire mesh discs provide exceptional durability and resistance to harsh environments. Their versatility makes them indispensable in industries such as water treatment, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemical manufacturing, contributing to product purity and system protection. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, these discs feature precise mesh openings and come in multiple sizes and thicknesses to meet diverse filtration needs.
Material
Filter Discs and Wire Mesh Discs are manufactured using a variety of materials to suit different applications and environmental conditions.
Stainless Steel:
- AISI 316L: Known for its excellent corrosion resistance and durability, ideal for pharmaceutical and chemical applications.
- AISI 304: A commonly used material with good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties, suitable for general-purpose applications.
- AISI 316: Offers better resistance to chlorides and acids compared to 304, making it suitable for marine and industrial environments.
Bronze:
- Phosphor Bronze: Offers excellent fatigue resistance, good corrosion resistance, and is commonly used in electrical and marine applications.
- Silicon Bronze: Known for its strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, often used in marine and industrial settings.
Copper Alloys:
- Brass (70/30): Composed of 70% copper and 30% zinc, brass wire cloth is known for its strength, corrosion resistance, and electrical conductivity, often used in decorative and electrical applications.
Nickel Alloys:
- Monel 400: A nickel-copper alloy that is highly resistant to corrosion in a wide range of environments, including seawater and chemical processing.
Aluminum:
- Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, suitable for applications where weight is a concern.
Wire Diameter
The wire diameter for these discs varies according to application needs. Common wire diameters include:
- 0.001 inch (0.025 mm): Suitable for very fine filtration where precision is crucial.
- 0.002 inch (0.05 mm): Offers a balance between strength and fine filtration.
- 0.004 inch (0.102 mm): Commonly used in medium filtration applications, providing durability and efficient filtration.
- 0.005 inch (0.127 mm): Ideal for applications requiring robust filtration with moderate precision.
- 0.007 inch (0.178 mm): Used for coarse filtration where strength is a primary concern.
- 0.010 inch (0.254 mm): Suitable for heavy-duty filtration applications.
- 0.020 inch (0.508 mm): Used in applications where maximum strength and durability are required.
- 0.030 inch (0.762 mm): Ideal for industrial applications requiring high mechanical strength.
Mesh Count
Mesh count refers to the number of openings per linear inch of mesh. Typical mesh counts for Filter Discs and Wire Mesh Discs include:
- 20 mesh (20 openings per inch)
- 40 mesh (40 openings per inch)
- 60 mesh (60 openings per inch)
- 80 mesh (80 openings per inch)
- 100 mesh (100 openings per inch)
- 200 mesh (200 openings per inch)
