How to Specify Multi-Layer Filter Packs

  • Layer sequence: E.g. 20/40/80/40/20 mesh to balance strength and filtration.
  • Diameter & fit: Match the breaker plate or screen changer slide.
  • Bonding: Spot-welded, rimmed or loose packs.

Materials

Standard supply is stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316/316L, Monel 400, Inconel 600; 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

  • Fit packs with the finest layer protected on both sides.
  • Log pressure and change packs at a fixed rise.

Common Mistakes

  • Too fine packs causing high melt temperature.
  • Reversed packs.

When Multi-Layer Filter Packs Is Not the Right Choice

Not for low-viscosity liquids where a cartridge is simpler.
