Frequently Asked Questions
How do I determine the correct filter size for my application?
The optimal filter size depends on several factors, including metal type, pour weight, and flow rate requirements. Our technical team can provide specific recommendations based on your casting parameters. For most applications, the filter cross-sectional area should be 2-4 times the most restrictive in your gating system to ensure minimal flow restriction.
How do I properly store unused filters?
Our Silicon Carbide Ceramic Foam Filters should be stored in a clean, dry environment away from sources of contamination or physical damage. While the filters do not degrade over time when properly stored, we recommend avoiding exposure to moisture, oils, or chemicals that could contaminate the ceramic structure. There is no specific shelf life limitation when proper storage conditions are maintained. For optimal handling, we recommend using clean gloves when removing filters from packaging for installation.
Are custom shapes and sizes available for specialized applications?
Yes, we offer extensive customization capabilities for specialized applications. Our manufacturing process can accommodate virtually any shape, including round, square, rectangular, hexagonal, trapezoidal, and irregular geometries to fit specific gating systems. Custom dimensions are available with tight tolerances (±0.5mm).
