The Customized 316L Clamp-style Stainless Steel Filter Housing serves a wide range of high-purity and corrosive fluid applications:
Q1: What is the difference between a bag filter housing and a cartridge filter housing?
A: Both serve the same basic purpose—holding filtration media to remove contaminants from liquids—but they are designed for different applications.
Bag Filter Housing is the better choice when:
Your liquid has high solids loading or looks “dirty”
You have high flow rates (a single #2 bag can handle 100-150+ GPM)
You need to change filters quickly and minimize downtime
You want lower initial and operating costs
Cartridge Filter Housing is the better choice when:
You need fine filtration down to 0.1 microns
You are “polishing” a liquid for pharmaceutical, fine chemical, or beverage applications
Filtration precision is more important than flow volume
Q2: What is the difference between SS304 and SS316L for bag filter housings?
A: SS304 contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel. It offers excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance at a cost-effective price point. It is suitable for general water treatment, food processing (non-acidic), and standard industrial applications.
SS316L contains 10% nickel, 2% molybdenum, and 16% chromium. The molybdenum provides superior resistance to chlorides, saltwater, acids, and aggressive chemicals. The “L” stands for low carbon, which improves weldability and resistance to intergranular corrosion.
Recommendation: Choose SS316L for applications involving chlorides above 200 ppm, saltwater exposure, CIP washing with caustic or acidic sanitizers, or pharmaceutical and food-grade requirements. Choose SS304 for general industrial water, light chemical duties, and less corrosive environments.
Q3: What are the standard sizes of bag filter housings?
A: Standard bag sizes are typically:
| Bag Size | Diameter | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Size 1 | 7″ (180 mm) | 16″ (410 mm) |
| Size 2 | 7″ (180 mm) | 32″ (810 mm) |
| Size 3 | 4″ (100 mm) | 8″ (200 mm) |
| Size 4 | 4″ (100 mm) | 14″ (350 mm) |
Size 2 is the most commonly used for industrial applications due to its high flow capacity and large dirt-holding capacity. Custom sizes are also available upon request.
Q4: How do I select the right bag filter housing for my application?
A: Consider the following factors:
Flow rate requirements: Determine the volume of liquid you need to filter per hour. This will dictate whether you need a single-bag or multi-bag housing.
Operating pressure and temperature: Select a housing rated for your system’s conditions.
Chemical compatibility: Choose housing material (304 vs. 316L) and seal material (EPDM, Viton, PTFE, etc.) resistant to your process fluid.
Filtration accuracy: Determine the micron rating needed for your application.
Regulatory compliance: Ensure the housing meets relevant standards (PED, ASME, CE, etc.).
Space constraints: Consider the footprint and height of the housing in your facility.
