The Oil Filter Mesh is a metal wire mesh component designed for lubricating oil and fuel purification, manufactured via precision plain weave technology—this technology ensures mesh uniformity (no missing wires or uneven spacing) and surface smoothness (Ra < 0.8μm), reducing oil flow resistance. It features high permeability and impurity retention, protecting critical equipment like engines and gearboxes by removing abrasive particles (5-20μm) that cause wear. Field data shows it extends machinery service life by 50% compared to paper filters, which are prone to clogging and tearing in high-temperature oil systems.
High Flow Capacity: Mesh sizes 15-200 ensure 2-320 L/min flow rates, matching thin oil station requirements. The 15-mesh (1000μm) option is used for large-scale hydraulic systems (320 L/min flow), while the 200-mesh (75μm) suits precision gearboxes (2-5 L/min flow). The mesh’s open area (40-60%, depending on mesh size) ensures low pressure drop—for 100-mesh mesh, pressure drop is < 5 psi at 50 L/min flow.
Temperature Resistance: Operates stably up to 95°C without mesh deformation. In engine oil systems with normal operating temperatures (80-90°C), the mesh maintains structural integrity; even during short-term temperature spikes (120°C), it does not shrink or stretch. For high-temperature applications (e.g., turbine lubricating oil at 150°C), Inconel 600 mesh is available, with a maximum temperature of 1800°F (982°C).
Easy Maintenance: Reusable design with washable mesh reduces replacement costs by 60%. The mesh can be cleaned via ultrasonic treatment (40kHz, 30 minutes) or chemical cleaning (using diesel or degreasing agents), restoring 95% of initial flow capacity. A fleet management company reported saving $15,000/year by replacing disposable paper filters with reusable oil filter meshes.
Corrosion Resistance: 304 stainless steel resists oil oxidation and chemical degradation. In lubricating oil with oxidation byproducts (acids, peroxides), 304 stainless steel has a corrosion rate < 0.05 mm/year. For marine engines with saltwater exposure, 316L stainless steel mesh is recommended, with enhanced chloride resistance to prevent rusting.
Power Generation: Coal mill and ball mill thin oil station filtration. In a thermal power plant, the mesh filtered lubricating oil for a 300MW coal mill’s gearbox, removing 98% of wear particles (5-15μm) and extending gearbox service life from 2 years to 3 years. It also reduced oil change frequency from 6 months to 12 months.
Automotive: Engine oil filtration in commercial vehicles. A truck fleet used 100-mesh oil filter meshes in diesel engines, reducing engine wear (measured by iron content in oil) from 20 ppm to 8 ppm. This extended engine overhaul intervals by 50,000 km, cutting maintenance costs.
Manufacturing: Hydraulic oil purification in metal processing machinery. In a CNC machine tool’s hydraulic system, the 150-mesh mesh removed metal shavings (10-50μm) and hydraulic oil degradation products, reducing hydraulic valve jamming incidents by 70% and improving machining precision (tolerance from ±0.1mm to ±0.05mm).
Q: Which mesh size fits lubricating oil filtration?
A: 40-60 mesh (250-420μm) is standard for removing wear particles. For heavy-duty engines (e.g., truck diesel engines), 40-mesh mesh is suitable to handle higher impurity loads; for precision machinery (e.g., CNC lathes), 60-mesh mesh provides finer filtration to protect sensitive components.
Q: How often should it be cleaned?
A: Monthly cleaning is recommended for continuous operation. For high-impurity environments (e.g., construction machinery hydraulic systems), clean every 2 weeks to avoid mesh clogging. Monitor oil pressure—if pressure difference across the mesh exceeds 10 psi, clean immediately to prevent oil starvation in the system.
Q: Is it compatible with synthetic oils?
A: Yes, it works with all oil types including synthetic and mineral oils. The mesh’s material (304/316L stainless steel) is chemically inert to synthetic oils (e.g., PAO, ester-based oils), with no adsorption or chemical reaction. It is also compatible with oil additives (e.g., anti-wear agents, antioxidants) without affecting performance.
Q: How to install the mesh in an existing filter housing?
A: The mesh is supplied as a flat sheet or cylindrical cartridge, with dimensions matching standard filter housing sizes (e.g., 4-inch, 6-inch diameter). For flat mesh, use the housing’s existing retainer clips to secure it; for cylindrical cartridges, insert it into the housing and fasten the end caps. Ensure the mesh is properly sealed to avoid bypass flow—unfiltered oil bypass can reduce filtration efficiency by 50%.
