Where Photo-Etched Precision Filter Disc Is Used

  • Medical & analytical devices: inlet filters, flow restrictors and diffuser plates in pumps and analyzers.
  • Fuel & gas systems: last-chance screens in valves, regulators and injectors.
  • Consumer appliances: coffee machine, shaver and humidifier discs with exact flow.
  • Electronics: vent discs and EMI-shielded apertures.

How to Specify Photo-Etched Precision Filter Disc

  • Hole size vs thickness: Etched holes are normally at least the sheet thickness; thinner foil allows smaller holes.
  • Pattern: Any hole shape, pitch and keep-out zone — supply a DXF so the tool matches your part exactly.
  • Material: SS304/316L, nickel, copper or titanium foil from 0.03 to 0.5 mm.

Materials

Standard supply is stainless steel 304, stainless steel 316/316L, copper; 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 thin discs with vacuum tweezers or by the rim; fingers bend them.
  • Specify the etch-entry face if hole taper matters for flow direction.

Common Mistakes

  • Asking for holes smaller than the foil thickness on a thick part.
  • Using an etched disc where the pressure drop needs a woven or sintered layer behind it for support.

When Photo-Etched Precision Filter Disc Is Not the Right Choice

Not for very thick plates over about 1 mm, where punching, drilling or laser cutting is more economical.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Photo-Etched Precision Filter Disc used for?

Filtering, metering and diffusing fluids through thin stainless discs whose holes are chemically etched to an exact pattern — burr-free, stress-free and far more uniform than woven mesh.

What is a photo-etched filter disc?

A thin metal disc whose holes are formed by chemical etching through a photo-resist mask, giving burr-free, uniform holes.

How small can etched filter holes be?

Down to roughly the foil thickness — about 0.05 mm in 0.05 mm foil.

Etched disc or woven mesh disc?

Etched discs give exact, repeatable holes and flat faces; woven mesh gives higher open area at lower cost.
