  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "Sintered mesh or sintered powder: which one do I need?",
      "a": "Mesh laminates offer higher permeability, more strength and better backflushing; powder media reach very fine ratings but clog faster. For most process filtration with cleaning cycles, sintered mesh wins on total cost."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can sintered elements be repaired or re-rated?",
      "a": "Elements can usually be cleaned and re-welded if the laminate itself is intact. We assess returned elements and advise honestly whether cleaning, repair or replacement is the economical option."
    },
    {
      "q": "What does an absolute rating of 10 µm actually mean?",
      "a": "Absolute means the largest hard spherical particle that can pass the medium: a 10 µm absolute laminate stops everything larger, verified by pore-size measurement on request. Nominal ratings only promise a percentage. When downstream equipment is expensive, specify absolute and say so in the RFQ."
    },
    {
      "q": "Can you cut and weld laminate panels to our drawing?",
      "a": "Yes. Standard panels of 1000 × 1000 and 1200 × 1200 mm are cut, rolled and welded in-house into discs, cones, cylinders and complete elements. Weld zones are engineered so the pore structure next to the seam keeps its rating."
    },
    {
      "q": "How many cleaning cycles does sintered mesh survive?",
      "a": "There is no fixed number: it depends on the contaminant and the cleaning method (backflush, ultrasonic, chemical or pyrolysis). The laminate itself outlasts many cycles as long as differential pressure stays within design limits. We assess used elements and tell you honestly when cleaning stops paying off."
