Cleanable Stainless Steel Filter Elements
POROMET®
Standard Sizes:
Poromet elements are designed to replace
standard string-wound and pleated media
cartridges. They are offered in 23/8" diameter
by 10, 20, 30 and 40 inch lengths. Poromet
elements are offered with the following end
fitting configurations: double open ends,
1" NPT, 222 double O-rings and 226 double
O-rings with locking tabs.
Electron Beam Welded End Fittings:
Purolator’s exclusive electron beam welding
process provides superior product quality
at reduced costs. Heat distortion, oxidation
and sensitization are eliminated.
Extended Filtration Area:
Poromet pleated elements have over twice
the filtering area as competitive elements.
Gaskets and O-rings:
Standard materials are Buna-N. Other
compounds are also available.
Laser Marked End Fittings:
Each Poromet element end fitting is
permanently laser-marked for ease of
identification and traceability.
316L Stainless Steel:
All Poromet Series elements are made from
316L stainless steel filter media. They are
ideal for temperatures up to 850˚ F, and
highly corrosive applications.
Electro-Polished Butt-Welded
Support Cores:
Purolator-manufactured cores are designed
to withstand pressures up to 250 psid.
Electro-polishing removes all metal
burrs, so the filtered fluids pass through
the elements with less restriction.
Quality Control:
Every Poromet element is bubble-point-
tested prior to shipment to ensure product
integrity and performance.
For High-Temperature and
High-Corrosion Processing Applications
Poromet®
filter elements are standard element
products designed for most commercial housings
as well as our own line of housings. Poromet
elements are built for high-temperature and high-
corrosion applications. They are superior quality
filters whose performance exceeds every other
competitive element. Poromet elements can lower
your costs by providing longer on-stream life and
years of trouble-free service. In addition, Poromet
elements are easily cleaned and can help you
avoid increasing disposal costs.
POROPLATE®
MEDIA
A self-supporting medium
made from multiple layers of
woven wire cloth, sintered into
a rigid, porous metal structure.
Poroplate elements are
cylindrical, surface-type filters
that are perfect for back-flushing
and repeated cleaning. Because
Poroplate elements are self-
supporting, expensive filter
support cores are eliminated.
POROMESH®
MEDIA
Multiple layers of diffusion-
bonded wire cloth are pleated
to maximize filter area and
on-stream life. Poromesh media
capture contaminants on the
upstream surface of the filter
element, where it is easily
cleaned or back-flushed.
POROFELT®
MEDIA
Microscopic, stainless steel fibers
are random-laid and sintered in
our proprietary diffusion
bonding process. These media
are then supported between two
or more layers of wire cloth and
pleated. Porofelt depth media
traps particles deep within its
complex pore structure. Porofelt
elements provide finer filtration,
with optimum dirt-holding
capacity and permeability.

APPLICATION REPLACED PROBLEMS SOLVED/END RESULT
CHEMICAL PROCESSING APPLICATIONS FOR POROMET®
ELEMENTS
HOT TOLULENE @ 85˚C Replaced bag filters • Used nitrogen blow back to clean element, reduced exposure
to hazardous materials
TOLUNE DI-ISOCYNATE Replaced sintered powder • Reduced down time
metal elements • Solved O-ring bypass problem with NPT connection
• Provided finer filtration from 13 micron to 10 micron
HOT GAS Replaced sintered powder • Provided lower clean pressure drop and longer on-stream
metal elements life cycle
ETHYLENE GLYCOL New application • Removed soft gels
• Met clean pressure drop requirements of 1-2 PSI
METHYLENE CHLORIDE Replaced disposable • Eliminated swelling and shrinking of elements in fluid
elements
VACUUM GAS OIL Replaced fiberglass • Fiberglass elements were expensive and required replacement
