I'm curious about the types of seams used to join the ends of the filter media. I've seen ends crimped with a metal piece, some that are glued, and some that appear to be stitched together. Maybe there are other ways of joining the ends, I don't know.
I've looked online and haven't been able to find an answer to my questions. Maybe someone here knows.
Are there ways other than the ones mentioned used to secure the media ends?
Are the ends that appear stitched secured additionally, such as with the addition of glue or sealant over the stitching?
Is any one method considered generally superior, or might the joining method be determined by the media material?
Does the design of the filter influence the joining method apart from the media itself, i.e., might a bypass filter be better-served with one or another method vs a standard filter?
Any info you can share regarding the seams would be appreciated. Thanks!
