Fabrics or Screens

Metal Fabrics or Screens These are available in several types of weave in nickel, copper, brass, bronze, aluminum, steel, stainless steel. Monel, and other alloys. In the plain weave, 400 mesh is the closest... 

Figure 5.3 shows a microstrainer. As shown, this type of microstrainer consists of a straining material made of a very hne fabric or screen wound around a drum. The drum is about 75% submerged as it is rotated speeds of rotahon are normally about from 5 to 45 rpm. The influent is introduced from the underside of the wound fabric and exits into the outside. The materials thus strained is retained in the interior of the drum. These materials are then removed by water jets that directs the loosened strainings into a screening trough located inside the drum. In some designs, the flow is from outside to the inside.

For rayon fiber based composites (Sections 3 and 4) the fiber and powdered resins were mixed in a water slurry in approximately equal parts by mass. The isotropic pitch carbon fiber composites (Section 5) were manufactured with less binder, typically a 4 1 mass ratio of fiber to binder being utilized. The slurry was transferred to a molding tank and the water drawn through a porous screen under vacuum. In previous studies [2] it was established that a head of water must be maintained over the mold screen in order to prevent the formation of large voids, and thus to assure uniform properties. The fabrication process allows the manufacture of slab or tubular forms. In the latter case, the cylinders were molded over a perforated tubular mandrel covered with a fine mesh or screen. Moreover, it is possible to mold contoured plates, and tubes, to near net shape via this synthesis route. 

Whether or not there are harmful effects during operation from laminations is controversial however, most users specify the plate to meet the ultrasonic testing requirements in ASTM(4> A435 or A578. This minimizes delays during fabrication by screening out large laminations that otherwise could wind up at undesirable locations. 

The main types of filtering centrifuges are suspended batch machines, which are discontinuous in their operation automatic short-cycle batch machines and continuous conveyor centrifuges. In suspended centrufuges the filter media are canvas or other fabric or woven metal cloth. In automatic machines fine metal screens are used in conveyor centrifuges the filter medium is usually the slotted wall of the basket itself.
