Operating Conditions
Pressure-temperature rating for filtration & separation.
Housing pressure rated to 10 bar. Maximum differential pressure across element 2.5 bar before replacement.
Service Conditions
- Max working pressure: 10 bar (standard)
- Heavy-duty: 16 bar
- Max differential: 2.5 bar
- SIP temperature: +135°C
- Element ratings: 0.1 – 100 μm

Common Questions
Frequently asked questions about filtration & separation.
Engineering and procurement questions we hear most often. For project-specific guidance, send your application details via RFQ.
What micron rating do I need?
For sterile filtration (bacteria removal): 0.22 μm. Mycoplasma: 0.1 μm. Polishing: 0.45 μm. Coarse: 1-25 μm. Strainers: 100+ μm.
Provide media specifications (particle size distribution) for filter selection. Sterile applications require absolute-rated filters.
How long do filter cartridges last?
Depends on dirt loading. Track differential pressure (ΔP). Replace when ΔP exceeds 2.0-2.5 bar (housing max).
For sterile filtration in bioprocess, integrity test each cartridge before/after use. Document with batch records.
What is integrity testing?
Integrity testing verifies sterile filter is intact before/after use. Methods: bubble point, diffusion flow, water intrusion.
Required for sterile pharmaceutical applications. Document each test. Failed test = batch rejection. Specify automated integrity tester with system.
Can filter housings be SIP'd?
Yes — sanitary filter housings are SIP-rated for +135°C steam. Element compatibility varies — verify with cartridge manufacturer.
For frequent SIP, specify steam-rated cartridges (PTFE-membrane) and PTFE gaskets. Standard polypropylene cartridges have limited SIP life.
What is the difference between bag and cartridge?
Bag filters: higher dirt capacity, lower cost per gram of dirt, easier disposal. Cartridges: better filtration efficiency, integrity-testable.
For prefiltration or coarse: bags economical. For sterile or critical: cartridges required. Often combined: bag → cartridge sequence.
What documentation is provided?
Standard: 3.1 MTR for housing, FDA compliance for gaskets, pressure test certificate, dimensional drawing.
For pharma: full BPE package, USP Class VI for elastomers, helium leak test. Cartridge documentation separate (from cartridge supplier).
Can I get full filtration system with pumps and controls?
Yes — complete filtration skids available with pumps, controls, automatic backwash, and integrity test capability.
Provide flow rate, micron rating, integrity test requirements, and automation level. Skid sized to flow and pressure requirements.
