What are the Advantages of 904L Wedge Wire Nozzles

JX Filtration December 16, 2024 Wedge Wire Nozzle

Application:
Stainless steel nozzles are primarily used for liquid-solid or gas-solid separation, effectively preventing the loss of filter media such as sand, catalysts, resins, silicates, and activated carbon.

Material:
Super austenitic stainless steel 904L (00Cr20Ni25Mo4.5Cu; UNS: N08904; EN: 1.4539) is a low-carbon, high-alloy austenitic stainless steel. It demonstrates excellent corrosion resistance in diluted sulfuric acid and is specifically designed for use in highly corrosive environments.

With its high chromium content and adequate nickel composition, the addition of copper enhances its resistance to acids. It is particularly effective against chloride-induced crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking, offering superior resistance to pitting corrosion compared to other steel grades. 904L is known for its excellent machinability, weldability, and suitability for pressure vessel applications.

Advantages:

Durable Structure with Corrosion Resistance – Offers long-term reliability in corrosive environments.
Exceptional Anti-Clogging Properties – Ensures consistent performance in filtration systems.
High Open Area Ratio – Maximizes filtration efficiency and flow capacity.
Easy Installation – Facilitates smooth setup and integration into systems.
Customizable Design – Tailored to meet specific operational conditions and requirements.

904L stainless steel is a highly corrosion-resistant material, making it ideal for use in pharmaceutical and chemical applications.
