Explore common particle sizes to find the perfect filtration solution. Click on particles to learn more and see recommended filter ratings for your application.
Micron ratings refer to the size of the particles a filter can capture. These ratings are expressed in micrometers (µm), and typically range from 0.1 µm to 1000 µm. The lower the micron rating, the smaller the particles captured by the filter.
Captures a percentage (typically 60-98%) of particles at the stated size. More economical but less precise.
Guarantees removal of 99.9% or more of particles at the stated size. Higher precision but typically more expensive.
Bacteria, Yeast. Removes microbes, ensures safety.
Sand, Silt, Metal. Reduces abrasion, protects equipment.
Haze, Fine Particles. Achieve clarity in final products.
Paint Pigments, Gels. Filters clumps; consistent quality.
