Product Overview

Sintered Mesh Filter for
High-Pressure, High-Temperature Industrial Filtration

SINFT sintered mesh filters are stainless steel filtration components made from multi-layer diffusion-bonded wire mesh for chemical, hydrocarbon, polymer melt and high-temperature filtration. They can be manufactured as sintered mesh filter cartridges, filter elements, discs, tubes, cones and custom assemblies. Compared with unsupported woven mesh or standard cylindrical filters, the rigid sintered wire mesh filter structure helps maintain pore stability, mechanical strength and cleanable service life under harsh operating conditions.

Multiple layers of SS316L woven mesh are stacked and fused at high temperature through atomic diffusion — no binders, no welds — creating a single rigid element with precisely controlled pore distribution. All media, support layers, and structure are constructed from SS316L stainless steel and diffusion-bonded at high temperature for maximum structural integrity and consistent filtration performance across the full service life.

Best for
High-pressure, high-temperature, corrosive fluids, reusable filtration and backwashable stainless steel media.
Not ideal for
Low-cost disposable filtration, certified sterile membrane filtration or heavy dirt-loading jobs where fiber felt depth media is a better fit.

Wire Mesh Weave Options & Sintered Mesh Structures

Select the woven control layer and sintered support structure according to filtration accuracy, flow rate, dirt holding capacity, cleaning method and operating pressure.

Three Wire Mesh Weaving Methods

Plain weave wire mesh structure

Plain Weave

Features: The weft yarns interlace over and under the warp yarns in a simple pattern. The structure is simple, the mesh is uniform, the throughput is large, the cost is low, and it is widely used.

Twill weave wire mesh structure

Twill Weave

Features: The weft yarns pass over two or more warp yarns and under two or more warp yarns in succession, forming a diagonal structure. The mesh can be finer, with higher filtration accuracy and strength, and it can handle more dirt.

Dutch weave wire mesh structure

Dutch Weave

Features: The weft yarns are thinner, closely packed and orderly arranged, with very high filtration accuracy (micron level), good compression resistance, and suitable for high-precision filtration applications.

Frequently Asked Questions — Sintered Mesh Filter

What is a sintered mesh filter element?

add

A sintered mesh filter element is a stainless steel filtration component made from multiple layers of diffusion-bonded wire mesh. The bonded structure provides stable pore size, mechanical strength and reusable service for demanding liquid, gas and polymer filtration.

When should I choose sintered mesh instead of pleated or fiber felt media?

add

Choose sintered mesh when the process requires stable pore geometry, high mechanical strength, backwash cleaning, high temperature or corrosive-fluid resistance. Pleated media is often better when more filtration area is needed, while sintered fiber felt is often better for higher dirt holding in depth filtration.

What information is needed for a custom replacement filter element?

add

Please provide micron rating, material, length, outer diameter, inner diameter, end connection, seal material, flow direction, operating temperature, pressure drop, working fluid and photos or drawings of the existing element.
