Microfiberglass Filter Flow Rates
Microfiberglass media in a pleated construction provides excellent flow rates with minimum pressure drop. Flow rates shown are for a nominal 10 inch long cartridge. For fluids other than water, multiply the pressure drop by the fluid viscosity in centipoise.

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).
GAS: Removal ratings are for Dioctyl Pathalate (DOP) which produces a 0.3 micron particle when dispersed as an aerosol.
