  • Polymer & fiber: pleated melt filter candles.
  • Gas & steam: process gas and clean steam filters.
  • Water & coolant: high-flow strainer elements.

How to Specify Pleated Filter Cartridges

  • Pleat geometry: Pleat count and height set filter area; tighter pleats suit thinner media.
  • Media: Woven stainless, dutch weave, sintered mesh or stainless fiber felt.
  • Core & caps: Perforated support core and welded or bonded end caps rated for the differential pressure.

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

  • Handle by the end caps; pressing the pleats deforms them and opens bypass gaps.
  • Back-flush or clean ultrasonically before the pressure drop reaches the collapse rating.

Common Mistakes

  • Over-pleating stiff dutch cloth, which cracks at the pleat tips.
  • Ignoring end-cap sealing, so fluid bypasses the media.

When Pleated Filter Cartridges Is Not the Right Choice

Not for slurries with high solids that bridge between pleats — a cylindrical or basket element is easier to clean.
