M Series High Flow Cartridge 60 Inch Radial Pleated 113 Cubic Meter Per Hour 500 GPM Filter Element For Municipal Water And Oil Gas Produced Water

Product Overview

Water Filter Element customers in municipal and upstream oil and gas stations need one element per 100 m³/h rather than a cartridge forest, and the M-series high flow cartridge answers that under Water Filter Element. Special radial pleated and vertical design delivers ultra-high flow up to 113 m³/h (500 GPM); filtration area reaches 18 m² at 60 inch and 12 m² at 40 inch. PP media with EPDM, Buna-N or silicone seals, 20 / 40 / 60 inch lengths, and a built-in handle for tool-free change-out.

Municipal And Oil Gas Scenario

In municipal treatment plants feeding large service zones, a small-footprint filter bank matters more than spare room, and the radial pleated high flow filter packs 18 m² of area into one 60 inch cartridge so a few elements handle full plant flow. In upstream oil and gas, the same element treats produced water and injection water before reinjection, where high dirt load demands large area rather than fine rating. The handle on the end cap lets a technician lift the cartridge out without climbing into the vessel, which shortens change-out on an unmanned station. Related large-flow consumables across the family are listed under High Flow Filter Cartridge.

Product Advantages

Radial pleated geometry spreads the flow path radially, which keeps velocity uniform and pressure drop low at 500 GPM. High dirt-holding capacity extends service interval and lowers consumable cost per cubic meter. Broad PP chemical compatibility covers municipal, general industrial, oil and gas, chemical petrochemical and food beverage duties. The built-in handle and smaller footprint reduce both installation cost and change-out time, and longitudinal or horizontal pleat forms suit different housing flow directions.

Manufacturer And Factory Strength

Xinxiang Lifeierte Filter Corp., Ltd (Stock Code 837936) welds M-series end caps by hot plate and checks pleat height and seal seating per batch. The series shares the high-flow housing platform with K and R models, so a station standardizes on one housing type. For upstream produced-water projects, engineering support covers element count and rating selection; reach the team at contact our engineering team, and browse the oil-side consumable line at replacement imported filter element.

FAQ

Q1: How does radial pleating differ from standard axial pleating?
A1: Pleats run radially around the core, distributing high flow evenly and reducing local velocity, which supports the 113 m³/h single-element rating.

Q2: Why does the M series carry a built-in handle?
A1: A 60 inch loaded cartridge is heavy; the handle lets one operator pull it straight up without hooks or scaffolding inside the vessel.

Q3: Is M series suitable for produced water with oil traces?
A1: PP media handles typical produced-water particle duty; free oil requires a coalescer stage upstream rather than this particle filter.

Q4: What filtration area difference does length make?
A1: 40 inch gives about 12 m² and 60 inch about 18 m², which drives flow and dirt-load capacity rather than rating.

Q5: Can M series elements fit K or R series housings?
A1: The families share platform geometry; confirm end-cap interface against the specific housing drawing before mixing.
