Overview
The Porvair SinterfloM-222C-0003-20-VNN is a cleanable porous metal filter cartridge engineered for high-performance filtration in hydraulic, lubrication, and industrial fluid systems. Constructed from multi-layered, diffusion-bonded stainless steel mesh available in a range of pore sizes, this cylindrical element achieves precise 3 micron filtration to remove fine particulates and extend system life. The Viton seal material (VNN designation) ensures compatibility with aggressive oils and wide temperature operating ranges.
Key Features
- Fully welded metallic design resists deterioration in harsh operating environments, aggressive conditions, high temperatures, or high differential pressures
