2116365 - 50 Micron Sintered Bronze Filter Element 2 Inch

Precision Filtration for Industrial Gas Systems

The ESAB 2116365 Element Filter is a critical maintenance component designed to ensure the purity and consistency of gas flows in industrial welding and cutting setups. Manufactured from high-grade sintered bronze, this filter element provides a robust barrier against contaminants that can compromise the performance of regulators, flowmeters, and downstream valves. With a specific filtration rating of 50 microns, it effectively traps particulate matter—such as dust, scale, and debris—without creating excessive pressure drop, ensuring that your equipment operates within its designed parameters.

Sintered bronze is the material of choice for these applications due to its excellent structural rigidity and resistance to corrosion. Unlike paper or mesh filters that may degrade under high pressure or in the presence of reactive gases, this bronze element maintains its shape and filtration efficiency over a long service life. The 2-inch sizing indicates it is intended for larger capacity equipment or specific housing configurations where substantial surface area is required to handle higher flow rates. Regular replacement of filter elements is a cornerstone of preventative maintenance, preventing the accumulation of contaminants that can lead to regulator creep, seat damage, or erratic flow characteristics.

For MRO specialists and facility managers, sourcing the correct OEM-quality replacement parts is essential for minimizing downtime. This element is engineered to meet strict dimensional tolerances, ensuring a secure fit within the filter housing to prevent bypass. Whether used in bulk gas distribution manifolds or heavy-duty regulator assemblies, the ESAB 2116365 delivers the reliability expected from top-tier industrial components. Its metallic construction also allows for compatibility with a wide range of industrial gases, making it a versatile stock item for diverse maintenance requirements.
