Premium Diffusion Bonded Sand Screen filters Cartridges:

DWT produces a full range of micron ratings from 75 to 800. Diffusion bonded sand screen filters cartridges offer several advantages to standard wedge wire or single layer mesh sand screen filters. Lower Pressure Drop, Controlled Pore Size, more open area and a high degree of flexibility and strength can designed into this type of cartridge. This technology has been proven to be the true premium sand screen filters element. Sand screen filters as cartridges are available in 316Lss and Alloy 20. Available in all diameters from 1″ and up and in lengths up to 20′ long.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
  • Maximum permeability above other screen options.
  • Precise woven metal mesh laminates achieve optimal filtration, uniform flow, and mechanical strength.
  • Diffusion bonded (sintered) designs result in a robust monolithic structure that provides fixed pore geometry.
  • Fully annealed alloy provides superior corrosion protection.
  • Standard micron ratings from 60 μm to 400 μm (custom upon request).
  • Standard alloys include 316Lss and Alloy 20.
