Industry’s Filtration Partner
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.

Description N/A 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 N/A 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 N/A Purolator’s exclusive electron beam welding process provides superior product quality at reduced costs. Heat distortion, oxidation and sensitization are eliminated.
Extended Filtration Area N/A Poromet pleated elements have over twice the filtering area as competitive elements.
Gaskets and O-rings N/A Standard materials are Buna-N. Other compounds are also available.
Laser Marked End Fittings N/A Each Poromet element end fitting is permanently laser-marked for ease of identification and traceability.
316L Stainless Steel N/A All Poromet Series elements are made from 316L stainless steel filter media. They are ideal for temperatures up to 850ºF, and highly corrosive applications.
Electro-Polished Butt-Welded Support Cores N/A 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 N/A Every Poromet element is bubble-point tested prior to shipment to ensure product integrity and performance.
