# Wire mesh filter cylinders, made to your filtration duty
## The challenge
A cylindrical filter component may include a filtering mesh, a supporting layer and particular end features — and they should be identified together when describing the part. The most common mistake in a filter-cylinder enquiry is treating the visible supporting openings as the filtration specification: the support is not the filter.
A cylinder that does not fit its housing exactly is no better: diameter, length, seam and end construction all have to match the installation interface, or the component cannot be seated and sealed.
## Our approach
We supply custom wire mesh filter cylinders from Anping, China. Each cylinder is made to order: the cylinder body and dimensions, filtering mesh and supporting layers, seam and joining area, end construction and mounting features, and quantity and intended use are matched to the housing it sits in and the fluid it filters.
Forms to discuss (pick the one closest to your current part):
- Cylindrical mesh cartridge — woven mesh outer layer with a perforated inner support.
- Sintered-metal cylinder — sintered mesh or powder construction for finer filtration grades.
- Pleated extended-area element — pleated construction where more filtering area is needed in the same housing.
Filtering layer and supporting body are described separately in the enquiry: the mesh sets the filtration level, the support carries the mesh and gives the cylinder its shape. Material follows the service conditions, with 316L as the usual grade and nickel alloys for the most severe service.
## Typical range
Final specification is confirmed per order / drawing. There is no standalone public range table for this form: the enquiry fields below come from LEYI's public filter-cylinder enquiry list, and the numeric ranges are the public ranges they borrow from — the P09 cylinder body and the P02 Dutch-weave filtration fineness. They show what to discuss, not what we promise off the shelf.
| Item | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Enquiry fields (LEYI) | Diameter, length, mesh count, layers, seam, end type, material, service conditions |
| Cylinder body (P09 public range) | OD 10–1200 mm; length up to 6 m |
| Filtration fineness (P02 Dutch-weave public range) | Up to 1800 mesh; absolute rating down to 5 µm |
| Sintered-metal filtration grade (Porvair public) | From 2 µm |
| Temperature, stainless option (Porvair public) | Up to 540 °C, intermittent peak 650 °C |
| Materials to discuss | 316L (usual); Inconel / Hastelloy / Monel for severe service — by application |
Sources for the ranges: LEYI filter-cylinder enquiry fields; P09 cylinder and P02 Dutch-weave public ranges; Porvair Sinterflo public pages. Our factory-confirmed cylinder sizes and filtration grades are still pending — final specification confirmed against your drawing / sample.
## What this helps with
- **Filtration and support in one component** — the mesh filters, the support carries it, and the two are specified separately so neither is guessed.
- **Cleanable and reusable** — a washable, all-metal construction that can be cleaned and put back into service, without shedding.
- **A fit checked against the housing** — diameter, length, seam and end construction are reviewed with the installation interface before quotation, so the cylinder seats and seals.
No flow, pressure-drop or lifetime figures are promised here: the result depends on the fluid, the filtration grade and the housing. The ranges in §3 and the questions in §6 are how we get to a cylinder that fits your duty.
## Typical applications
- **Water treatment** — pre-filtration and fine filtration ahead of finer filters.
- **Chemical and pharmaceutical** — 316L filter cylinders for corrosive media filtration.
- **Process filtration** — cylindrical filter components in process lines, where the cylinder has to fit an existing housing.
- **Cooling water and hydraulic systems** — filter cylinders protecting downstream equipment.
Each application links back to the same enquiry: cylinder body, mesh and support layers, seam, ends and service conditions.
## Next step
Send the information you already have — a drawing or photographs of the complete cylinder, both ends and the seam or joining area, or a sample part. These six questions are what we ask next:
1. Diameter and length.
2. Filtering mesh and supporting layers — filtering layer and supporting body, separately.
3. Seam and joining area.
4. End construction and mounting features — flange, rim, end cap.
5. Material and service conditions — fluid, temperature, pressure.
6. Quantity and intended use — removable cylinder only or a larger assembly; any change from the old part.
Tools to send with your enquiry:
- **Blank dimension drawing** `blank-dimension-P04-cylinder.png` — fill in diameter, length, mesh count and end connection and send it back.
- **RFQ sheet** (P04) — the same fields as a PDF, for buyers who prefer a form.
- **Sample** — samples are available on request; availability, fee and lead time depend on the product, size and quantity — send your specification and we will confirm. Standard sizes can usually be supplied quickly; custom sizes are made to your drawing.

## Questions About This Product
### Which cylinder details help identify a replacement?
Show the complete body, both ends, seam and any locating or mounting features. Include the dimensions and layer information you know.
### Is a perforated support the same as the filtering mesh?
They may be separate parts of the construction. If both are present, identify the filtering layer and the supporting body separately in the enquiry.
### Can I request a change from the old cylinder?
Describe the current part and mark the change you want to discuss. Add the reason and relevant operating information so the revised requirement can be reviewed.
## Discuss Your Requirement
