Range of Particulate Elimination

N/A

Fluid conditioning gaskets provide for the most comprehensive range of stainless steel mesh and filter cloth which provides for particulate elimination to protect fill and finish sterile products. As illustrated, you can see demonstrated a progressive particulate elimination utilizing 10, 20, 40, 60 and 100 mesh screens. We provide. when requested. 20 micron screen and cloth construction.

We are also able to provide gaskets which will allow you to remove your screen disc, accept an orifice plate disc or membrane of choice, providing the membrane thickness does not exceed .032 inches.

Sock designs are also available.
Sock designs are inserted into the I.D. of your stainless steel tubing and provide filtration for a greater soil burden.
Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding your special needs and thoughts as it pertains to your fluid conditioning program.

Photography presented here is actual size pertaining to 10, 20, 40, 60 and 100 mesh sizes. For full product avail ability, refer to the Fluid Conditioning Reference Chart on the back page. Screen construction is Dutch Twill weave for maximum strength and minimum pressure drop. Perforated 1/32 gaskets are also available.
