The 20Mesh Flange 316L Stainless Steel Oil Filter is a robust inline filtration component designed for pipeline systems requiring reliable coarse particle removal. With its 99mm outer diameter and 72mm length, this filter is engineered to protect pumps, valves, meters, and other sensitive equipment from large contaminants that could cause damage or operational issues.
Constructed from 316L stainless steel, this filter offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard 304 stainless steel. The “L” designation indicates low carbon content, which enhances weldability and resistance to intergranular corrosion—making it particularly suitable for marine environments, chemical processing, and applications involving chlorides or aggressive fluids . The filter is equipped with flanged connections, enabling secure, leak-proof installation directly into pipeline systems with easy access for maintenance and cleaning.

Q1: How do I clean this stainless steel filter element?
A1: Effective cleaning methods include ultrasonic cleaning, careful backflushing with clean fluid, or soaking in an appropriate solvent. Always follow the cleaning procedure recommended for your specific contaminant and allow the element to dry completely before reinstalling.
Q2: What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel for filters?
A2: Both are corrosion-resistant. 304 stainless steel is a versatile, economical choice suitable for most industrial oil and coolant applications. 316 stainless steel offers higher resistance to chlorides and acids, making it preferable for highly corrosive environments or specific chemical fluids.
Q3: How many times can this filter element be reused?
A3: With proper care and cleaning, a high-quality stainless steel element can typically be reused dozens to hundreds of times. Its lifespan depends on the operating environment, contaminant type, and cleaning effectiveness.
Q4: Can this element be used for high-pressure applications?
A4: Yes, the all-metal welded construction provides excellent structural integrity for high-pressure systems. Always verify that the element’s pressure rating meets or exceeds your system’s maximum operating pressure.
Q5: How do I select the correct micron rating?
A5: The required micron rating depends on the target fluid cleanliness level for your equipment. Consult your machinery manufacturer’s specifications or fluid analysis recommendations to choose the appropriate rating.
