Description

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.

Standard Sizes

Poromet elements are designed to replace standard string-wound and pleated media cartridges. They are offered in 2 3/8″ 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.
