1. A filter for filtering fluids in petrochemical plants comprising: a tubular cartridge, which extends along a first axis, configured to filter a fluid, and comprising a first annular end and a second annular end;a casing, which is connectable to a conduit of a petrochemical plant, housing said tubular cartridge, and comprising a first end support and a second end support;and an axial compensating ring located between the tubular cartridge and the first end support or the second end support,wherein the tubular cartridge comprises a self-supporting metal tube having a wall with a number of holes arranged unevenly so as to define, along the wall of the metal tube, at least one longitudinal strip parallel to the first axis and with no holes, and at least one annular strip with no holes so as to strengthen the metal tube,wherein the number of holes comprises a first plurality of holes between the annular strip and a first annular end of the metal tube, and a second plurality of holes between the annular strip and a second annular end of the metal tube. 2. A filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein the axial compensating ring comprises a first ring and a second ring connected axially to each other in sliding manner by an elastic connecting device. 3. A filter as claimed in claim 2, wherein the elastic connecting device comprises a number of connecting modules equally spaced along the first ring and the second ring and about the first axis. 4. A filter as claimed in claim 3, wherein each connecting module comprises a pin fixed to the second ring, connected to the first ring, and configured to slide parallel to the first axis; andan elastic member inserted between the first ring and the second ring and fitted about the pin. 5. A filter as claimed in claim 4, wherein each connecting module comprises means for limiting travel of said pin with respect to the first ring; said means for limiting travel of the pin comprising an annular groove in said pin, and a retainer fixed to the first ring and which partly engages said annular groove, so that said travel is limited by the size, parallel to the first of the annular groove and the retainer. 6. A filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein said axial compensating ring is fixed to the tubular cartridge to form a cartridge-ring assembly. 7. A filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first end support is welded to the casing. 8. A filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first end support is machined into the casing. 9. A filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein the casing comprises a blank flange which is removable to insert and remove the tubular cartridge along said first axis; the second end support being defined by a portion of said blank flange. 10. A filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein the metal tube comprises a first annular portion, a second annular portion, and a third annular portion adjacent to one another, and wherein the second portion is located between the first portion and the third portion; the second portion having a higher density of holes than the first portion and the third portion. 11. A filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein the tubular cartridge comprises a first longitudinal sector, and a second longitudinal sector adjacent to the first longitudinal sector; the second longitudinal sector having a higher density of holes than the first longitudinal sector. 12. A filter as claimed in claim 6, wherein the tubular cartridge is cylindrical and orientable selectively about the first axis; said tubular cartridge and the casing having respective reference marks indicating given positions of the tubular cartridge with respect to the casing. 13. A filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein the casing is inverted-T-shaped, and comprises a first tubular portion extending about the first axis and at least partly about the tubular cartridge, and a second portion extending about a second axis crosswise to the first axis. 14. A petrochemical plant comprising a compressor; a conduit for feeding a fluid to said compressor; and a filter as claimed in claim 1. 15. A filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein the annular strip is substantially midway between the first annular end and the second annular end of the metal tube. 16. A filter as claimed in claim 1, wherein each hole of the number of holes is uniformly shaped and sized. 17. A filter for filtering fluids in petrochemical plants, comprising: a tubular cartridge, which extends along a first axis, configured to filter a fluid, and comprising a first annular end and a second annular end;a casing, which is connectable to a conduit of a petrochemical plant, housing said tubular cartridge, and comprising a first end support and a second end support; andan axial compensating ring located between the tubular cartridge and the first end support or the second end support;wherein the tubular cartridge comprises a self-supporting metal tube having a wall with a number of holes arranged unevenly so as to define, along the wall of the metal tube, at least one longitudinal strip parallel to the first axis and with no holes, and at least one annular strip with no holes, so as to strengthen the metal tube;wherein the axial compensating ring comprises a first ring and a second ring connected axially to each, other in sliding manner by an elastic connecting device;wherein the elastic connecting device comprises a number of connecting modules equally spaced along the first ring and the second ring and about the first axis;wherein each connecting module comprises a pin fixed to the second ring, connected to the first ring, and configured to slide parallel to the first axis, andan elastic, member inserted between the first ring and the second ring and fitted about the pin; andwherein each connecting module comprises means for limiting travel of said pin with respect to the first ring, said means for limiting travel of the pin comprising an annular groove in said pin, anda retainer fixed to the first ring and which partly engages said annular groove, so that said travel is limited by the size, parallel to the first axis, of the annular groove and the retainer. 18. A filter for filtering fluids in petrochemical plants, comprising: a tubular cartridge, which extends along a first axis, configured to filter a fluid, and comprising a first annular end and a second annular end;a casing, connectable to a conduit of a petrochemical plant, housing said tubular cartridge, and comprising a first end support and a second end support; andan axial compensating ring located between the tubular cartridge and the first end support or the second end support,wherein the tubular cartridge comprises a self-supporting metal tube having a wall with a number of holes arranged unevenly so as to define, along the wall of the metal tube, at least one longitudinal strip parallel to the first axis and with no holes, and at least one annular strip with no holes, so as to strengthen the metal tube, andwherein the first end support is welded to the casing. 19. A filter for filtering fluids in petrochemical plants comprising: a tubular cartridge, which extends along a first axis, configured to filter a fluid, and comprising a first annular end and a second annular end;a casing, which is connectable to a conduit of a petrochemical plant, housing said tubular cartridge, and comprising a first end support and a second end support;and an axial compensating ring located between the tubular cartridge and the first end support or the second end support,wherein the tubular cartridge comprises a self-supporting metal tube having a wall with a number of holes arranged unevenly so as to define, along the wall of the metal tube, at least one longitudinal strip parallel to the first axis and with no holes, and at least one annular strip with no holes so as to strengthen the metal tube,wherein the annular strip is substantially midway between a first annular end and a second annular end of the metal tube.
