Industrial Filtration & Sieving Applications Using Precision Woven Mesh

Precision woven mesh is the functional heart of industrial filtration — balancing flow, pressure, and retention. From petrochemical separators to clean-room sieves, its uniform aperture design ensures predictable, verifiable performance across critical operations.

Filtration Applications by Industry

  • Oil & Gas: coalescer pads, demisters, mist eliminators, sand control screens.
  • Chemical & Petrochemical: catalyst support mesh, sintered diffusion layers, reactor filters.
  • Water Treatment: fine stainless mesh baskets for RO & UF pre-filtration.
  • Food & Pharma: hygienic mesh cartridges for sterilizing filtration.
  • Mining & Minerals: vibratory sieve decks and classification screens.
  • Automotive & Energy: fuel filters, coolant strainers, EGR system mesh inserts.
  • HVAC & Building Services: air inlet screens and particulate filters.
  • Paint & Coating: inline filter mesh preventing pigment clogging.
  • Process Engineering: pressure filters and back-flush systems.

Design Parameters & Performance

  • Flow rate: 0.1 – 20 m³/h per m² (depending on µm rating & viscosity).
  • Pressure Drop ΔP: typically < 0.15 bar at nominal flow.
  • Filtration Rating: 5 – 5000 µm nominal / absolute as per ISO 16889.
  • Cleanability: high-flow back-flush cycles > 5000 without mesh fatigue.
  • Compatibility: resistant to H₂S, hydrocarbons, brine, solvents.

Testing & Qualification

  • Bubble-Point & Flow Tests: verifying pore integrity before shipment.
  • Particle Retention Curve: calibrated to ISO 4793 / ASTM F316.
  • Thermal Stability: tested up to 600 °C for sintered packs.
  • Pressure Fatigue Cycle: 1 × 10⁶ reversals at design ΔP.

Maintenance & Lifecycle Economics

  • Reusability > 10× over disposable media reduces OPEX by 40 % (typical).
  • Visual inspection via borescope – no dismantling required.
  • Ultrasonic & chemical cleaning compatible with all grades.
  • Predictive replacement interval = ΔP trend analysis + particle load curve.
