What is Filter Efficiency, and Why Does It Matter in Metal Filters?

In our most recent blog post, we discussed the latest research that proves all-metal filters outperform fiberglass in aviation applications based on demanding real-life testing. One of the key ways that all-metal wire mesh and sintered metal filters surpass legacy materials like fiberglass is by providing excellent filter efficiency for a longer period of time …

Fiberglass vs. All-Metal Filters – What the Research Shows

New research presented recently to the American Filtration and Separations Society (AFS) provided some exciting new insight into just how effective metal filter media are compared to standard fiberglass filters when it comes to aircraft hydraulic filtration. Woven metal mesh and a variety of sintered metal filter media have all been “real-life tested” in commercial …

What the Latest Space Developments Mean to Aerospace Manufacturing

It may have been Star Trek that introduced us to space as “the final frontier.”  But it’s less sci-fi and more reality today—more than a half-century following the show’s debut—that our government is embracing the continuing mission of the Starship Enterprise, “…to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and civilizations, to boldly …

How Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and Drones Are Different

The growing aviation sector has spawned a curious alphabet soup of acronyms to describe the various types of unmanned, or remotely-controlled aircraft that grace our skies. News reports describe military drones carrying out surveillance or airstrikes against terrorists around of the world. Companies like Amazon are experimenting with deliveries via drones. And high-tech drones of …

Filter Design Considerations

There’s a lot to consider when it comes to filters and filter design, especially in the Aerospace, Defense and Marine industries. Through a wide range of   aircraft and land vehicles, to  the extremes of aerospace applications, nuclear submarines, and test/maintenance facilities, companies depend on quality filters to perform under and withstand the most demanding conditions.
