316L Stainless Steel Powder-Sintered Filter Plate, 10 µm Filtration Rating, Ø30 × 3 mm, 20 PPI, 5/10 pcs
Research-grade laboratory product
Product Overview

This 316L stainless steel powder-sintered filter plate combines a 10 µm filtration rating with a 20 PPI porous structure in a Ø30 × 3 mm format. Classified 316L powder is formed and sintered into a rigid microfiltration medium with stable pores and interconnected flow paths, supporting particle retention while maintaining gas or liquid permeability across the plate thickness. The self-supporting metallic construction suits compact assemblies that require a machinable, cleanable and reusable porous filter component.

The 20 PPI porous structure has 1.27 mm nominal pore spacing, 30–45% porosity and 4.4–5.6 g/cm³ bulk density. The 10 µm filtration rating supports precise selection for the intended particle-removal task. Uniform pore distribution, low initial resistance, mechanical rigidity and weldability support equipment integration, while the metallic porous body can be maintained with backblowing, backwashing, ultrasonic cleaning and suitable chemical-cleaning procedures.

The Ø30 × 3 mm plate is available in 5 pcs; 10 pcs packs for laboratory trials, replacement programs and small-batch equipment integration. Typical uses include pharmaceutical and chemical-process filtration, water treatment, food and beverage clarification, biotechnology, petrochemical processing, metallurgical operations, gas purification, fluid distribution, pump and tank filtration, coffee and sugar-processing equipment, medical filtration assemblies and other applications that use cleanable 316L porous media. Confirm flow, working pressure, temperature, media compatibility, through-pore requirement and dimensional tolerance before ordering.

Application Scope

This 10 µm, 20 PPI 316L sintered filter plate can be used in compatible liquid, gas and process-filtration assemblies that accept a Ø30 × 3 mm component. Application areas include pharmaceutical and chemical processing, water treatment, food and beverage clarification, biotechnology, petrochemical processing, metallurgy, gas purification, fluid distribution, oil and tank filtration, pump systems, coffee and sugar-processing equipment, medical filtration devices and cleanable porous-metal research fixtures.

PROCUREMENT CHECK: Confirm filtration rating, PPI, disc diameter, thickness, porosity, through-pore requirement, target flow, working pressure, temperature and media compatibility before quotation.
OPERATION NOTE: Increase pressure gradually. If filtration efficiency falls below 50%, use a validated backblowing or backwashing procedure and avoid impact, scratching or concentrated tool pressure on the porous surface.
CLEANING REVIEW: Select physical or chemical cleaning according to the retained material and process medium. Compatible options can include clean-fluid backwashing, clean-gas backblowing, ultrasonic cleaning, dilute acid, dilute alkali, oxidizing agents, surfactants or enzymes.
RFQ NOTE: Custom dimensions are available by e-mail consultation. Include the required diameter, thickness, PPI, filtration rating, package quantity and operating conditions when requesting dimensional review.

This document specifies the operational limits and maintenance requirements for the 316L stainless steel powder-sintered filter plate. It is derived from the manufacturer's stated operating and cleaning guidance.

  • Temperature and Pressure Limits: Do not exceed the stated normal-use temperature or the 3 MPa maximum working pressure.
  • Flow Direction: Operate with flow normally directed from the outside surface toward the clean side.
  • Gradual Pressurization: Increase pressure gradually to avoid damage from rapid pressurization.
  • Filtration Performance Trigger: If filtration efficiency falls below 50%, perform a validated backblowing or backwashing procedure.
  • Surface Protection and Cleaning Compatibility: Avoid impact, scratching, or concentrated tool pressure on the porous surface, and select cleaning agents compatible with the retained material and process medium.

This procedure provides the chronological steps for installing, operating, and cleaning the filter plate under the stated flow and pressure constraints. It follows the manufacturer's operation and cleaning recommendations.

Required Equipment: Backblowing system, Backwashing system, Ultrasonic cleaner

  1. Inspect the filter plate
    Inspect the filter plate for surface damage or contamination before installation.
  2. Install with correct flow orientation
    Install the plate so that flow passes from the outside surface toward the clean side.
  3. Gradually increase pressure
    Gradually increase the working pressure to the target level, not exceeding 3 MPa.
  4. Monitor filtration efficiency
    Monitor filtration efficiency and prepare for cleaning if it falls below 50%.
  5. Clean with compatible methods
    Clean the plate using backblowing, backwashing, ultrasonic, or compatible chemical methods as appropriate.

What is the maximum working pressure and temperature for the 316L powder-sintered filter plate with 10 µm filtration rating?

The filter plate is rated for a maximum working pressure of ≤3 MPa and a normal use temperature of ≤500 °C. These limits are based on the 316L stainless steel powder-sintered construction and the 30–45% porosity range, ensuring structural integrity under specified operating conditions.

Can this Ø30 × 3 mm sintered filter plate be cleaned and reused, and what cleaning methods are compatible?

Yes, the metallic porous body is designed for reuse and can be regenerated using backblowing, backwashing, ultrasonic cleaning, or suitable chemical-cleaning procedures such as dilute acid, dilute alkali, oxidizing agents, surfactants, or enzymes. Avoid surface damage, rapid pressurization, and incompatible cleaning chemicals to maintain performance.

What is the relationship between the 10 µm filtration rating and the 20 PPI pore density in this filter plate?

The 10 µm filtration rating defines the particle retention size, while the 20 PPI (pores per inch) indicates a nominal pore spacing of 1.27 mm and a porosity of 30–45%. These parameters together provide a balance between particle capture and permeability, with interconnected flow paths supporting low initial resistance for gas or liquid passage.

This Ø30 × 3 mm, 10 µm-rated 316L powder-sintered filter plate, supplied in 5 or 10 pcs packs, combines a 20 PPI interconnected pore network with 30–45% porosity for cleanable gas/liquid filtration up to 500 °C and 3 MPa; through-pore behavior and media compatibility must be confirmed against the intended flow and pressure conditions before ordering.

Positive

  • Sintered 316L interconnected pore structure: Powder classification, forming and sintering produce stable interconnected pores with 30–45% porosity and 1.27 mm nominal pore spacing, supporting uniform gas or liquid passage with low initial resistance.
  • Cleanable and integrable metallic filter medium: The self-supporting 316L plate can be welded, bonded or mechanically mounted, and can be regenerated by backblowing, backwashing, ultrasonic cleaning or compatible chemical cleaning for repeated use.

Trade-offs

  • Through-pore rate is application-dependent: Through-pore rate must be confirmed with the required flow and pressure conditions, and the supplier requires confirmation of flow, working pressure, temperature, media compatibility and dimensional tolerance before ordering.
  • Porous surface needs careful pressure and handling: Pressure must be increased gradually, and the porous surface must be protected from impact, scratching and concentrated tool pressure; a validated backblowing or backwashing procedure is recommended when filtration efficiency falls below 50%.
