Sintered Mesh Disc for Büchner & Nutsche Filters in 316L Stainless Steel (AISI 316L (1.4404)) is used for supporting the filter cake in Büchner funnels and Nutsche filter-dryers with a rigid, cleanable sintered stainless disc instead of disposable paper. 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.
