Irrigation Screen Filter Element in 304 Stainless Steel (AISI 304 (1.4301)) is used for protecting drip emitters, micro-sprinklers and fertigation equipment with a stainless steel screen element inside irrigation screen filters. The alloy gives good general corrosion resistance in atmosphere and fresh water and is essentially non-magnetic (annealed), with a practical service limit of approx. +450 °C continuous.
