According to the material, the sintered filter element includes metal sintered filter element and non-metal sintered filter element. The metal sintered filter element is mainly made of stainless steel series of sintered mesh filter element and sintered felt filter element. There are also titanium rod sintered filter elements made of special metals, Monel sintered filter elements, etc. Non-metal sintered filter element includes activated carbon sintered filter element with activated carbon as material; powder sintered filter element with metal powder as material, copper powder sintered filter element; pe sintered filter element with polymer as material.

According to the function of sintered filter element, there are surface filter type sintered filter element and depth filter type sintered filter element. For example, the sintered mesh filter element is a surface filter sintered filter element. Generally, the surface filter type is a sintered filter element made of sintered mesh, because the sintered mesh is a surface filter. The sintered filter elements such as powder sintering, sintered felt and other fibers, particles, and particles are depth filtration sintered filter elements. Such as copper powder sintered filter element, activated carbon sintered filter element, sintered felt filter element, etc.
