Why are so many metal filters and strainers constructed from stainless steel?
Stainless steel filters and strainers offer a high degree of corrosion resistance. Many of the process industries that use metal filters and strainers introduce moisture or caustic fluids to the filtering element. For these reasons, stainless steel is a natural choice. Thanks to advances in welding technology, many of the filters and strainers that were historically made from Monel are now constructed with cost effective, long lasting stainless steel. Roughly 90 percent of the metal filters and strainers manufactured by Yankee are constructed with stainless steel for these reasons.
