Hastelloy C276/ C22/ X Metal Filter Cartridge

Kumar Process Consultants sintered metal filter elements are designed for long-lasting performance in permanent filtration systems. Unlike disposable filters that need frequent replacements, These sintered filter cartridges can be cleaned on-site (in situ) for many applications.

Types of Hastelloy C276/C22/X Cartridge Filters

Powder Sintered

Powder Sintered

Powder sintered filters are a type of sintered filter that is made using a high-pressure sintering process. This process creates filters with a very high porosity and permeability, which means that they can allow a large amount of fluid to flow through them while still effectively filtering out particles. They can be manufactured for filtration ratings as low as 0.5 microns (nominal).

Multilayered Sintered

Multilayered Sintered

Multilayered sintered filters are a type of filter media constructed by bonding together multiple layers of woven or perforated metal mesh through a sintering process . Sintering involves heating the metal components at a high temperature, below their melting point, to create strong interatomic bonds between the particles. This process results in a rigid and porous filter structure with several advantages over single-layer filters.

Features of Hastelloy C276/ C22/ X Filter Cartridges

Hastelloy C276/C22 filter cartridges are designed for exceptional performance in harsh chemical environments. Here are some key features that make them stand out:

  • Superior Corrosion Resistance: Hastelloys are nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloys renowned for their outstanding resistance to a wide range of corrosive chemicals, including oxidizing acids, reducing acids, and chloride-containing solutions. This makes them ideal for applications involving aggressive fluids that would quickly degrade standard filter materials like SS316.
  • High-Temperature Capability: Hastelloy X retains its strength and structural integrity at elevated temperatures. This allows them to be used in hot filtration processes where other filter media might fail.
  • Excellent Mechanical Strength: The material offers superior mechanical strength, making the cartridges suitable for high-pressure applications and environments with significant mechanical stress.
  • Long Service Life: The combination of corrosion resistance, high-temperature tolerance, and mechanical strength contributes to a significantly longer lifespan compared to filter cartridges made from standard materials. This translates to reduced maintenance costs and downtime.
  • Cleanability and Reusability: Hastelloy filter cartridges can often be effectively cleaned and reused, making them a more environmentally friendly and cost-effective option in the long run.
