Custom sintered metal filter elements from your drawing
Bring your drawing, installation requirements and operating conditions. Define the element around your process, with feasibility, configuration and verification reviewed before a proposal is confirmed.
Start with the information you have
A complete specification is not needed for the first inquiry. Mark estimates and leave unknown technical values open for discussion.
- The task and installation
- What must be separated? Where will the element be installed? Add a drawing, photograph or existing part reference if available.
- The known process conditions
- Name the fluid or gas, key contaminants and any known flow, temperature or pressure. Include units and distinguish operating values from design limits.
- The project context
- Provide your work email, delivery country and requirement. An estimated quantity, sample requirement and target schedule help define the next review.
Technical details for the next review
- Medium and contamination
- Composition, concentrations, viscosity where relevant, particle character and expected solids loading.
- Flow and temperature
- Normal and limiting conditions, units and, for gas flow, the stated reference temperature and pressure.
- Pressure and regeneration
- Operating pressure with gauge or absolute basis; allowed forward and reverse differential pressure; cleaning sequence.
- Dimensions and interfaces
- Overall envelope, active length, end connections, seal material requirement, mounting details and mating-part information.
- Service environment
- Chemical exposure, thermal cycles, cleaning agents, steam or sterilization conditions and applicable process requirements.
- Verification and records
- Required separation test basis, dimensional checks, material records, traceability and any sample acceptance plan.
Replacing an existing filter element: what to send
An existing drawing can establish the installation envelope and interfaces. For a new design, a dimensioned sketch and process description are a useful starting point.
Open drawing inquiry- Identify the document
- Include the drawing number, revision, units and a clear distinction between required dimensions and reference dimensions.
- Show the critical interfaces
- Mark seal seats, mating faces, connections, installation clearances and critical dimensions or tolerances that are actually required.
- Add the functional requirement
- State the flow direction, filtration objective and relevant operating or cleaning conditions. Identify the specification or acceptance method where one applies.
The inquiry form accepts one PDF, JPG or PNG, up to 8 MB. Export a CAD drawing as PDF; combine related drawing sheets and notes into one PDF when needed. Attachments are stored privately.
How a custom sintered filter inquiry works
Each stage establishes what is known, what needs confirmation and what should be agreed before the next step.
Describe the application
Share the process, installation information, drawing or existing part reference. Identify missing values rather than estimating them as facts.
To agreeA clear inquiry brief and a list of open technical questions.
Review feasibility and options
Compare candidate media, material, geometry and connections against the application. Establish which configurations and evidence can be offered.
To agreeA proposed configuration with the remaining technical and supply confirmations identified.
Agree the drawing and test basis
Review the controlled drawing, operating envelope, separation target, documentation and acceptance criteria.
To agreeAn agreed specification and a defined verification scope for the proposal.
Evaluate a sample, if agreed
Where sampling is part of the project, agree the sample scope, evaluation conditions, responsibilities and review of results.
To agreeRecorded findings and any agreed drawing or specification revisions.
Confirm the order and delivery scope
Confirm quantities, identification, inspection records, commercial terms and delivery conditions against the agreed specification.
To agreeA documented order scope. Any later technical change returns to the specification review.
Agree the acceptance basis for the complete element
Material availability, dimensional tolerances, filtration performance, cleaning method and service limits require confirmation for the actual configuration. A nominal media grade or a matching catalog dimension alone does not establish suitability or interchangeability.
- Link each requested performance value to its test method, conditions and acceptance criterion.
- Review mounting, sealing, support and flow direction together with the filter medium.
- Record the approved drawing revision, inspection scope and documents in the agreed order.
Bring your drawing. Define the next step
Start with your requirement and the information available. Use the inquiry to separate confirmed conditions from the questions still to resolve.
