Issues with the filtration flow rate of precision filter elements
Thread Content
Hello everyone. I have just started working with precision filters and would like to know about the filtering capacity of these filters. For example, for a stainless steel sintered mesh with a filtration accuracy of 10 microns, at an initial pressure difference of 0.05 MPa, how much fluid can each square meter of this filter medium filter out, depending on whether the fluid is air, water, or engine oil? So, under the same conditions, what is it when the precision becomes 5 microns or 20 microns? Thank you!
The ratio of the filter element area to the inlet and outlet diameters should be related to the amount of impurities.
It seems that the filter element manufacturers have this data
Does anyone know the answer? Please reply Thank you
It depends on the type of filter element you choose; foldable filter elements and melt-blown filter elements have different filtration flow rates. For water filtration, taking a 10-inch long foldable filter element as an example, its filtration flow rate at a precision of 5 microns is approximately 1.0 m3/h； The filtration flow rate with a precision of 10 microns is approximately 1.8 m3/h.

Then I would like to ask what is the appropriate flow rate for fluid passing through the filter element? I’m talking about a five-layer stainless steel sintered filter element. I would like to know the filtration capacity of the filter element. For example, with a filtration precision of 10 microns and an initial pressure difference of 0.05 MPa, and considering media such as air, water, and engine oil, what amount of medium can be filtered per square meter of filter media for a filter element with a diameter of 60 and a length of 1000? So, under the same conditions, what is it when the precision becomes 5 microns or 20 microns? Thank you so much!
