Media made from metals have already been mentioned, in Section 2C, in the form of sheets and tubes made from metal fibres and powders, usually sintered together to retain their…

As already mentioned, a major feature of the inorganic materials included here is their ability to operate at high temperatures. The importance of this particular set of applications is continually…

There is an important group of media materials that are not fabrics in the normally accepted sense of the word, because they are mostly not flexible, but they are made…

Just as needlefelts took market shares from some woven fabrics as filter media, so now are the newer meltspun synthetics expanding quickly into most filtration applications. These are the class…

For some, undemanding, applications, a simple felt can provide suitable filtration performance, without any form of strengthening. However, their low tensile strengths, and the ease with which fibres can become…

It is a common feature of solid/gas filtration, and, to a lesser extent, solid/liquid filtration, that the particles in suspension may carry an electrostatic charge, and therefore that a filter…

  From earliest times, woven fabrics formed the bulk of filter media. Beginning in the 1940s, with the production of a suitably bonded felt, nonwoven materials started to be used…

Monofilament fabrics are woven from extruded synthetic filaments produced in diameters from 30 um to 2–3 mm.These fabrics have become important as filter media in a broad range of industries and…

Fabrics can be woven from yarns of many sorts. It is usually the case that warp yarns (those running lengthways on the loom) are the stronger, while the weft yarns  (those…

Fabrics make up the largest component of filter media materials. They are made from fibres or filaments of natural or synthetic materials, and are characterized by being relatively soft or…
