Metal-based filter media are available in many different shapes and structures. They are very often used in filtration and separation applications because of their high temperature and corrosion resistance, high porosity and permeability, as well as their high mechanical strength and durability. The characteristics of the pore structure, such as pore sizes and pore size distribution, govern the filtration properties of all filter media.
The pore sizes and pore size distribution of metal-based filter media are easily measured with our gas-liquid POROLUX™ porometers.
