What are
the materials made with?
Generally, SaatiTech materials are made with polyamide (nylon)
, polyester, and polypropylene fibers. "PA" , "PES",
and "PP" indicate the type of polymer used. SaatiTech
uses designations such as PA to represent polyamide (nylon
), PES represents polyester (polyEthylenterphthalate), and
PP is our designation for polypropylene materials.
How
do I read your part numbers?
Our product numbering system is designed to show the polymer
type used, the mesh opening size in microns, followed by the
percentage of open area across the surface of the material.
For example: SaatiFil PA 100/38 indicates a polyamide fabric
(nylon), with a 100 micron opening size, and 38% open area
across the surface of the material.
What
is mesh count?
Mesh means the number of openings per lineal inch of material.
To determine the mesh of a given weave, measure from the center
of a fiber to a point one inch distant and count the intervening
openings. For fine mesh, a mesh counting glass or mesh reader
is usually required.
Why
should I use synthetic materials instead of wire cloth material?
Synthetic materials are better suited for applications where
constant flexing may cause failure due to work hardening.
Synthetic materials also offer more flexibility in making
small changes in filtration requirements. Synthetic fabrics
are also a safer alternative to wire cloth in food applications.
What
are the different quality levels available in wire cloth?
Stainless Steel cloth is available in: Market Grade, Bolting
Cloth, and Mill Grade. All three grades are available in Type
304 and Type 316 Stainless Steel. Many products are also available
in Type 430 Stainless Steel, which is magnetic.
Where
are orders shipped from?
Our warehouses are located in Somers NY, and Turbotville,
PA.
How
are products shipped?
Customer orders are generally sent via UPS unless other arrangements
are made.
What
information do I need to request a quotation?
Generally we will ask what your application requires in terms
of filtration. What mesh sizes you require, what products
you are currently using, and what limitations we need to work
with. We will also ask how much material you will need, and
when.
What
are payment terms for orders?
Typically, once approved, open accounts are paid on a net
30 day basis. Other credit arrangements are possible, we also
accept credit card orders.
What
kind of fabrication capabilities do you have?
SaatiTech has engineered specialized methods of converting
materials into high quality custom fabricated parts produced
in the most cost-effective way (see "fabrication"
section).
Do
you have product engineering assistance?
SaatiTech has R&D engineers on staff to assist in using
our materials in your applications. We can also assist your
engineers with information helpful in working with our materials.
Are
your materials sterilizeable?
SaatiTech materials can be sterilized using all the current
technologies. SaatiTech materials are also autoclavable.
Can
SaatiTech test materials?
SaatiTech has a complete testing lab which can be used to
identify materials and determine efficiency of a given material.
