Pro Tip: Choosing the Right Filter

Selection depends on three key factors:

  • Process: Flow rate, temperature, pressure, and chemical compatibility
  • Contamination: Particle size, contaminant type, and cleanliness needs
  • Practical: Maintenance schedule and budget constraints

For optimal results, consider a multi-stage approach: strainers for coarse debris, bag filters for bulk contaminants, and cartridge filters for fine particles.
