Reusable Stainless Steel Water Filter Cartridge in 316L Stainless Steel (AISI 316L (1.4404)) is used for replacing disposable sediment cartridges in standard 10 in and 20 in housings with a pleated stainless mesh or wedge-wire element that is rinsed and reused. The alloy gives superior resistance, including chlorides, brines, food CIP and mild acids and is essentially non-magnetic, with a practical service limit of approx. +550 °C continuous.
