Pleated wire mesh increases the available filtering surface inside a cylindrical cartridge envelope. Kaifil reviews the media, pleat support, core, end components and seals as one assembly so the cartridge fits the housing and operates in the intended flow direction.

| Service conditions | Process medium, temperature, flow and differential pressure to be specified | Limits depend on the complete construction; no universal pressure or temperature rating applies. |
| Inspection | Dimensions, media identification, joints and visual condition | Special tests require an agreed method, sampling plan and acceptance criteria. |
| Order basis | Quantity, sample stage, documentation and packing agreed at quotation | Lead time and minimum order quantity follow the confirmed material and manufacturing scope. |

Materials: Stainless steel grade or specified alloy agreed for the application
Pleating places more filtering surface inside a cylindrical envelope. The filtering layer must remain supported while drainage paths stay open. Media designation, pleat depth, core and end joints are therefore reviewed together rather than selected independently. A nominal micron label alone does not define the construction.
Provide outside and inside diameters, overall length, end details, sealing diameter and insertion depth. Identify the inlet and outlet sides and send the housing drawing or an unused reference element.
Confirm the process fluid, flow rate, temperature, differential pressure and intended cleaning method. Reuse depends on contaminant removal and the condition of the media, joints and seals after cleaning.
Confirm the drawing revision, material designation, critical dimensions and inspection documents before manufacture. Agree how media identity, joints, edges and cleanliness will be checked. If a sample or first article is required, define the approval step before repeat production. Flow, pressure or retention testing must include the test method and acceptance limit; appearance alone does not verify filtration performance.
Removable elements for process liquid filtration; confirm fluid compatibility and the required retention definition.
Metal elements may be considered for gas duties when pressure, temperature and sealing requirements are defined.
Match the housing and functional interfaces using a drawing or reference sample, not appearance alone.
Include these details when discussing your requirements.
No. Usable area depends on pleat spacing, support and flow paths. The complete element and actual fluid conditions must be assessed.
Provide the process fluid or gas, temperature, cleaning chemicals and corrosion exposure. The grade must suit every wetted component, including supports, joints and seals. Final compatibility is confirmed against the actual service conditions.
Provide outside and inside diameters, overall length, end details, sealing diameter and insertion depth. Identify the inlet and outlet sides and send the housing drawing or an unused reference element. Also include material, operating conditions, required quantity and any sample or inspection-document requirements.
Material records, dimensional inspection and other agreed documents can be included in the order scope. Specify traceability, document type and any special testing before quotation.
