1. Define your filtration cut-point
Specify the exact micron retention required. Slot openings typically range from 20 um to 3 mm.
2. Match material to fluid conditions
Use 304 SS for water, 316L SS for chlorides or mild chemicals, and duplex or Hastelloy for high-
corrosion or high-temperature applications.
3. Confirm mechanical fit
Provide inner diameter, outer diameter, overall length, and end fitting type (flanged, threaded, or
tri-clamp).
4. Check cleanability
Choose V-wire profiles with smooth surfaces to enable efficient backwashing and reduce
downtime.
5. Verify quality documentation
Request material certificates (EN 102o4 3.1), slot tolerance reports (+10 pm), and pressure test
results.
6.Ask about lead time and MOQ
Confirm stock availability for standard sizes and typical production time (2-4 weeks) for custom
orders.
