Precision Filters for Land, Aerospace and Marine Applications

Why Use Metal Filters?

At Fluid Conditioning Products, Inc., we’re “metalheads.” Why? It’s because when it comes to filtration, all-metal filters outperform traditional “glass fiber” or fiberglass filters in aerospace and marine applications. While we produce a limited selection of disposable filter elements that utilize legacy materials, our primary focus is metal.

When compared to traditional fiberglass filters, metal filters offer many benefits. Compare for yourself below:

Metal Filters

  • Reduce contamination by as much as 95%
  • Cut maintenance times by as much as 10X
  • Decrease failure rates—across the board
Metal Filters - Good
Versus

Fiberglass Filters

  • Often pass particulate contamination downstream of the filter
  • Increase maintenance working hours
  • More frequent failure rates
Fiberglass Filters - Bad

Because all-metal filters dramatically reduce maintenance of key components in aircraft and maritime vessels, they present many cost-saving opportunities. Want proof? Discover what the research shows.

Published U.S. Army research on metal fiber media filter elements in the H-60 Black Hawk hydraulic system found that MTBF doubled for hydraulic pumps and primary servos, and increased by more than 50% for SAS actuators. The Army estimated that fleet-wide adoption could save approximately $4 million per 100 flight hours. That's what metal filtration delivers when it replaces glass fiber media in a mission-critical system.
