So I have a 1lb Crc closed loop system. I have two filter plates before my sintered disc. I keep having a problem with the filter papers coming dislodged from the retention rings on all three discs. What can I do to prevent this, as it keeps exposing powder to my sintered disc which causes clogging?

Sounds like a pressure swing in the opposite direction that’s messing with your paper and rings. That’s not a normal situation otherwise

i would get .05 micron or better to be safe. even 1 micron i see some go through. with the filter stones they seem to catch it all.

Ding Ding!!
@FicklePickle is 100% correct here.
Both gas and liquid flow follow the pressure gradient. If you’ve got higher pressure below the paper than above, it will definitely move the paper.
Are you vacuuming it down from the top?
If not, then show us pictures and run us through which valves you turn and when…
