How to Select your High Pressure Filter
How to select your Finite Filter...
The following steps will help you
to choose the correct filter for
your application. If there are other
factors involved or if you have
special requirements, call one of
Finite’s application engineers.
1. Evaluate the requirements of your application. The sketches on high pressure applications depict popular examples of breathing air, PET bottle blowing and alternative fuel applications.
2. What type of filtration is needed? Coalescing filter media removes solid and liquid contaminants from gas streams. Particulate filter media removes solids from gas streams. Adsorber media removes hydrocarbon vapors from gas streams. See Media Types, Grades and Efficiencies for more detailed information.
3. Are you searching for a specific micron rating... or efficiency rating? If so, the applications section provides a complete breakdown of Finite’s filter media grades and their performance specifications.
4. What are the operating conditions of your application? Key criteria to consider: flow, pressure, temperature, materials of construction (stainless steel, nylon, aluminum, etc.). This website provides detailed descriptions of the various products available.
5. Sizing: Flow charts are provided for each high pressure filter series. Flows are listed at various operating pressures. Filters are available with flows up to 6500 SCFM and pressure ratings up to 6000 PSIG.
