Läbivilt is an Estonian term that translates to "filter" or "sieve" in English. It refers to a tool or substance used to separate solid particles from a liquid or gas. In a literal sense, it can be a physical object with pores, such as a fabric, mesh, or perforated material, designed to allow a fluid to pass through while retaining larger or solid components.

The concept of läbivilt is employed in various practical applications. In the context of household chores, it might describe a kitchen sieve used for draining pasta or sifting flour. In industrial settings, läbivilt can refer to sophisticated filtration systems used in manufacturing processes, water purification plants, or engine maintenance to remove impurities.

The effectiveness of a läbivilt depends on the size of its pores and the nature of the material being filtered. Different types of läbivilt exist, each suited for specific filtration tasks. This can range from coarse filters that remove large debris to fine filters capable of capturing microscopic particles. The term emphasizes the action of passing through, highlighting the separation process.
