STEEL FILTER TUBE 20X27X80 5MICRON

The 316 Sintered Stainless Steel Filter Tube (20X27X80, 5 Micron) is engineered for high-purity filtration in harsh environments. Made from 316L stainless steel powder, it resists corrosion, handles temperatures up to 500°C, and features a uniform 5-micron pore structure for consistent performance. Ideal for:

• Chemical Processing: Filters acids, alkalis, and solvents.

• Pharmaceuticals: Sterile gas/liquid filtration in bioreactors.

• Food & Beverage: CIP systems and edible oil refining.

Key Features:

• Material: 316L SS (FDA-compliant).

• Dimensions: 20mm OD × 27mm ID × 80mm length.

• Pressure Rating: 150 PSI max.

• Cleanability: Backflush or ultrasonic cleaning.

FAQ:

Q: Can this 316 sintered stainless steel filter handle strong acids or alkalis?
A: Yes, the 316L stainless steel construction provides excellent resistance to chemicals including hydrochloric acid (≤10%), sulfuric acid, and sodium hydroxide. For extreme environments, we recommend periodic integrity checks.

Q: What temperature range can this sintered filter withstand?
A: The standard filter operates from -40°C to 500°C, making it suitable for steam sterilization and hot oil filtration. Custom high-temperature versions (800°C+) are available in Inconel or Hastelloy materials.

Q: How should I clean a clogged 5-micron sintered filter?
A: We recommend:

1. Backflushing with purified water or 10% nitric acid
2. Ultrasonic cleaning for stubborn particles
3. Thermal burnout for non-polymer contaminants

Q: Is this filter suitable for high-viscosity fluids?
A: Yes, but we suggest:

• Using larger pore sizes (10-20 micron)
• Reducing flow rates to minimize pressure drop
• Custom designs available for special requirements

Q: What is the typical service life and what certifications does it have?
A: Service life is typically 1-3 years depending on operating conditions. Certifications include FDA compliance for food/pharma applications, ISO 9001 quality management, and ASTM E128 porosity testing standards.
