Polypropylene Filter Cartridges

All Polypropylene Filter Cartridges with Polypro End Caps

These pleated filter cartridges feature the latest technology in filter media. Layers of melt-blown and spun-bonded polypropylenes combine to produce nominal and absolute retentions from 0.1 micron to 30 micron. Polypropylene filters feature popular end cap styles which fit most standard filter housings. Ideal as low cost membrane pre-filters, these high efficiency cartridges serve a wide range of applications.

Nominal Micron Rating	Particulate Removal Efficiency
	90%	99%	99.9%	99.99%
	Beta Ratio
	10	100	1,000	10,000
0.1	0.1	0.45	0.8	1.0
0.2	0.2	0.6	1.0	2.0
0.45	0.45	1.0	2.0	3.0
1.0	1.0	3.0	7.0	10.0
3.0	3.0	7.0	10.0	25.0
20.0	20.0	30.0	40.0	50.0
30.0	30.0	40.0	50.0	60.0

Ratings are based on laboratory tests using AC Fine Test Dust and Latex Spheres in water at a flow rate of 2.5 gpm per 10 inch cartridge at room temperature. Field results will be influenced by the type of fluid and contaminant as well as flow rate and temperature.

BETA RATIO is an alternate method of expressing efficiency. Beta= 1/(1-Efficiency)
