Size #2 (30″ Basket Depth) Carbon Steel Filter Vessel: Robust, Economical High‑Capacity Filtration

 When you need heavy‑duty, high‑throughput filtration on a budget, the Size #2 (30″ Basket Depth) Carbon Steel Filter Vessel delivers exceptional value. Built from rugged carbon steel with an industrial‑grade coating, this Carbon Steel Filter housing handles flows up to 50 GPM and pressures to 150 PSI. Its deep 30″ basket provides ample dirt‑holding capacity, while the economical carbon steel construction offers significant cost savings over stainless alternatives for neutral‑pH and non‑corrosive fluids.

Size #2 (30


1. Key Benefits

  • High Dirt‑Holding Capacity
    The 30″ basket depth in the Size #2 Carbon Steel Filter Vessel holds more media than smaller units, extending run times and cutting change‑out frequency.

  • Cost‑Effective Construction
    Carbon steel shell with epoxy or powder coating costs 30–50% less than stainless steel, making it ideal for large fleet deployment or budget‑sensitive projects.

  • Mechanical Strength
    Thick‑wall carbon steel resists impact, abrasion, and deformation—perfect for industrial skid mounting and harsh environments.

  • Compact Footprint
    At an 8″–10″ diameter and approximately 36″ overall height, the Carbon Steel Filter housing fits easily into skids or small utility rooms without sacrificing capacity.

  • Ease of Maintenance
    Quick‑release wing‑nut clamps or bayonet caps allow full access to the internal basket in under five minutes—minimizing downtime.

3. Common Applications

  1. Industrial Water Treatment
    Pre‑filters cooling tower makeup and process water, protecting downstream membranes and exchangers.

  2. Chemical Process Skids
    Removes catalyst fines, precipitates, and solids in batch reactors and blending systems.

  3. Oil & Gas Sampling
    Captures particulates in hydraulic lines and sampling loops before analysis.

  4. Metalworking Coolant Filtration
    Screens swarf and abrasive fines from recirculating coolants, extending tool and pump life.

  5. Utility Drain Handling
    Filters blowdown and wastewater streams, reducing solids load on clarifiers and settling tanks.


4. Selection Guide

  1. Flow & Basket Depth

    • Up to 25 GPM: Size #1 (20″ depth)

    • 25–50 GPM: Size #2 (30″ depth)

  2. Material Compatibility

    • Epoxy‑coated carbon steel for neutral‑pH fluids.

    • Consider stainless or lined vessels for corrosives or pH extremes.

  3. Media & Micron Rating

    • Coarse Filtration: 50–200 µm mesh bags or baskets.

    • Fine Polishing: 1–10 µm cartridges or felt bags.

  4. Closure & Sealing

    • Wing‑nut clamps for hand‑tight tool‑free service.

    • Bayonet caps for faster quarter‑turn access.

  5. Connection Style

    • FNPT for compact piping runs.

    • ANSI flanges for robust industrial tie‑ins.


5. Installation & Maintenance

  • Mounting: Secure vertically on a skid or structural support, aligning inlet and outlet piping to minimize stress.

  • Pressure Relief: Vent through the top port before loosening closures to safely release pressure.

  • Media Change‑Out: Open clamp or cap, remove the perforated basket, swap the bag or cartridge, reseat the basket, and re‑secure in under five minutes.

  • Coating Inspection: Periodically inspect epoxy finish for chips or wear; touch up to prevent corrosion.


6. Total Cost of Ownership

  • Lower Upfront Cost: Carbon steel delivers robust performance at a fraction of stainless steel price.

  • Reduced Maintenance: Durable construction reduces damage and rebuild frequency.

  • Energy Savings: Low ΔP (< 3 PSI clean‑bag) minimizes pump energy consumption.

  • Extended Run Times: Deeper basket holds more debris, cutting bag replacement by up to 40%.
