Industry’s Filtration Partner
Porofelt® Media

Microscopic, stainless steel fibers are random-laid and sintered in our proprietary diffusion bonding process. These media are then supported between two or more layers of wire cloth and pleated. Porofelt depth media traps particles deep within its complex pore structure. Porofelt elements provide finer filtration, with optimum dirt-holding capacity and permeability.

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.
