There are various types of metal screen filter tubes available, depending on the configuration of the perforated metal and wire mesh layers. The most common types include:
- Perforated Metal Outside with Wire Mesh Inside: In this configuration, the outer layer of the filter tube is made of perforated metal, while the inner layer is composed of wire mesh. The perforations in the metal allow for fluid or gas to pass through, while the wire mesh inside provides additional filtration capabilities.
- Perforated Metal Inside with Wire Mesh Outside: This type features a layer of perforated metal on the inner side of the filter tube, and the outer layer is made of wire mesh. The perforations in the metal layer assist in the initial filtration, while the wire mesh outside provides further filtration and protection.
- Expanded Metal Outside with Wire Mesh Inside: In this configuration, the outer layer of the filter tube consists of expanded metal, which offers strength and rigidity. The inner layer is composed of wire mesh, providing the filtration function.
- Expanded Metal Inside with Wire Mesh Outside: Here, the expanded metal is located on the inner side of the filter tube, providing structural support. The outer layer comprises wire mesh, offering filtration capabilities.
The specific configuration of the metal screen filter tube depends on the filtration requirements, desired flow rate, and compatibility with the media being filtered. Each type has its advantages and may be chosen based on factors such as strength, durability, and the level of filtration needed.
