Product catalog summary

Introduction
PORO MET® Cleanable Stainless Steel Filter Elements are designed to replace standard string-wound and pleated media cartridges. They are available in various sizes and configurations to suit different applications, particularly in high-temperature and high-corrosion environments.

Specifications

Standard Sizes: Available in 2 3/8" diameter with lengths of 10, 20, 30, and 40 inches.
End Fittings: Options include double open ends, 1" NPT, 222 double O-rings, and 226 double O-rings with locking tabs.
Material: Made from 316L stainless steel, suitable for temperatures up to 850°F.
Pressure Resistance: Support cores withstand pressures up to 250 psid.

Features

Electron Beam Welded End Fittings: Ensures superior quality by eliminating heat distortion and oxidation.
Extended Filtration Area: Pleated elements provide over twice the filtering area compared to competitors.
Quality Control: Each element is bubble-point-tested to ensure integrity and performance.

Media Types

POROPLATE®: Cylindrical, surface-type filters ideal for back-flushing and repeated cleaning.
POROMESH®: Pleated media that maximizes filter area and on-stream life, capturing contaminants on the upstream surface.
POROFELT®: Depth media with stainless steel fibers, providing finer filtration and optimal dirt-holding capacity.

Applications

Chemical Processing: Effective in applications like hot toluene and ethylene glycol, offering solutions such as reduced downtime and improved filtration.
Pharmaceutical: Used in lipid emulsion processing, providing improved quality and lower pressure drop.
Food and Beverage: Utilized in juice filtration, enhancing operations with automatic precoating and continuous backwash.

Performance Data
Flow rate vs. pressure drop graphs for POROPLATE® and POROMESH® elements indicate performance efficiency across different micron ratings.

Ordering Information
Includes media type codes (PP for POROPLATE®, PM for POROMESH®, PF for POROFELT®) and end fitting codes (NPT, 226, DOE, OR).
