Composition

Carbon steel, (which is sometimes referred to as “Blue” steel), snap rings, spring bands, are made from a high carbon steel. The high carbon steel used has been finished to a high quality spring specification.

Strip supplies

The carbon steel strip has a blue/black surface finish; we avoid using material that has a polished finish. Carbon steel with a blue/black surface finish offers an improved resistance to corrosion when compared to a polished surface finish. However carbon steel, even with a blue/black finish, should not be used or stored in an environment in which humidity is present.

Production

The carbon steel strip has a machined edge without sharp corners. This makes handling safer during sewing into the filter bags and protects the filter bag fabric from damage during operation.

The strip is then cut into ring lengths. The ring lengths are then fastened together using eyelets/rivets.

Ring dimensions

Rings can be supplied in any diameter size from a minimum of 100mm.

Carbon/“Blue” steel strip dimensions
