mechanical filter [mi′kan·ə·kəl ′fil·tər]

(electronics)

Filter, used in intermediate-frequency amplifiers of highly selective superheterodyne receivers, consisting of shaped metal bars, rods, or disks that act as coupled mechanical resonators when used with piezoelectric or magnetostrictive input and output transducers and coupled by small-diameter wires. Also known as mechanical wave filter.

(petroleum engineering)

Granule-packed steel shell used to filter suspended floc or undissolved solids out of treated waterflood water; granules can be graded sand and gravel, anthracite coal, graphitic ore, or aluminum-oxide plates with granular filter medium.
