Design |
Shape and Structure: The basket filter element is usually cylindrical and shaped like a basket, often with a perforated or mesh surface. This design allows for a large surface area for filtration. |
Materials: It is commonly made from stainless steel or other durable materials to withstand high pressures and corrosive environments. |
Filtration Mechanism |
Inlet and Outlet: Fluid enters the filter through an inlet and flows through the perforated basket or mesh. The basket captures larger particulates and debris, allowing the cleaner fluid to pass through. |
Mesh or Perforations: The mesh or perforated surface of the basket acts as the primary filter medium. The size of the openings can vary depending on the desired level of filtration and the specific application. |
