Application guide for Laser-Drilled Micro-Hole Filter Disc to Custom to drawing. The core duty of the type is controlling flow and holding back fine particles with discs laser-drilled with micron-sized holes in exact positions — for restrictors, nozzles and medical devices. The typical industries, the how-to-specify checklist, handling practice and the exclusion cases are set out below.

Typical Applications for Laser-Drilled Micro-Hole Filter Disc

Where Laser-Drilled Micro-Hole Filter Disc is specified and bought:

  • Medical devices: drug-delivery restrictors, inhaler and IV flow control discs.
  • Aerospace & space: propulsion and gas metering orifices.
  • Instruments & sensors: pressure snubbers and calibrated leaks.
  • Atomization: spray and mist nozzle plates.

How to Specify Laser-Drilled Micro-Hole Filter Disc for Your Application

  • Hole diameter & tolerance: 20–100 µm holes held to about ±3–5 µm.
  • Hole count & layout: From a single orifice to thousands, in any pattern.
  • Thickness: 0.1–0.5 mm; thicker discs need tapered or stepped drilling.
  • Standard: Quote Custom to drawing and the size designation from the table on the product page, plus any value you changed in the technical drawing.

Handling & Installation Practice

  • Flow-test every lot rather than relying on optical hole measurement alone.
  • Clean ultrasonically before assembly to remove drilling recast.

Common Selection Mistakes with Laser-Drilled Micro-Hole Filter Disc

  • Specifying a hole tolerance tighter than the flow requirement actually needs.
  • Skipping recast removal, which partly blocks small holes.

Where Laser-Drilled Micro-Hole Filter Disc Is Not the Right Choice

Not economical for large open-area filtration — etched or woven media are far cheaper per hole.

If This Construction Is Not the Right Fit

Closely related mesh types for the same duty — compare open area, aperture range and cleanability before you commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Laser-Drilled Micro-Hole Filter Disc used for?

Controlling flow and holding back fine particles with discs laser-drilled with micron-sized holes in exact positions — for restrictors, nozzles and medical devices.

Why laser-drill filter holes?

Laser drilling makes very small, precisely placed holes in thicker material than etching can.

How small can laser-drilled holes be?

Around 20 µm in stainless steel discs.

Are laser-drilled discs flow tested?

They should be — flow testing is the best check of a micro-hole disc.

Can I get a quote for Laser-Drilled Micro-Hole Filter Disc to my own drawing?

Yes. Set the size and any custom value in the technical drawing on the product page and send it with the quote form; we reply within one business day.
