Woven Inconel mesh screens for high temperatures

Process gas filtration is a great challenge. Besides very high temperatures, in various applications, caustic elements, there is usually the demand for keeping high flow rates and decreasing pressure drop. Inconel mesh screens for process gas filtration are an ideal solution.

Filter elements made of Inconel mesh are highly stable and offer prolong performance without the need for replacement. Cartridges are usually secured from cracks caused by severe vibration in chemical filtration systems. Additionally, metal mesh elements are easy to clean and can be used in applications where cleaning in place is needed as there is no trespassing of dust when the filter element is cleaned by back pulsing.

Woven wire mesh screens are solid and rigid and are hence, secured from any wear due to movement or friction. They also prevent damage due to the abrasion of penetrating particles. Metal mesh screens made of stainless steel 316L can be used in conditions up to 350oC or 650oF and for high temperatures, Inconel 601 can be used. Through wide study, mesh elements have also been developed to prevent corrosion at high temperatures up to 1000oC by using FeCrAl alloy.
