Supramesh® Media

Print Product Information

Supramesh medium is a combination of Rigimesh® woven wire mesh with stainless steel powder, sinter-bonded to its upstream surface. This results in a material that provides exceptionally fine depth filtration, complete freedom from media migration and extremely low pressure drop.

Our standard alloy for both Rigimesh and Supramesh is type 304L stainless steel, with 316L and other alloys available on special order. Removal ratings for Rigimesh range from 18 to 450 micrometers absolute in liquid service. The standard Supramesh medium is available in 15 micrometers absolute, but we have the ability to customize this product to meet specific requirements.
