Where Airbag Inflator Filter Is Used

  • Airbag module OEMs: driver, passenger, side and curtain inflator filters.
  • Tier-1 inflator assemblers: filters supplied on PPAP-approved drawings.
  • Seat-belt pretensioner makers: small gas-generator filters.
  • Other pyrotechnic actuators: hood lifters and battery disconnects.

How to Specify Airbag Inflator Filter

  • Density & mass: Pressed density and part weight set the cooling capacity and pressure drop; both are controlled per lot.
  • Wire: Knitted carbon or stainless wire of 0.25–0.40 mm, sometimes layered with woven screen.
  • Dimensions: Outer and inner diameter and length to the inflator drawing, typically ±0.1 mm.

Materials

Standard supply is stainless steel 304; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.

Fitting & Care

  • Handle and package parts so they cannot deform; a crushed filter changes the deployment curve.
  • Measure weight and dimensions on every lot as part of the control plan.

Common Mistakes

  • Allowing density to drift between lots, which alters inflation time and gas temperature.
  • Substituting wire grade or diameter without revalidating to USCAR-24.

When Airbag Inflator Filter Is Not the Right Choice

Not a general-purpose gas filter; the design is validated only inside its specific inflator.
