QMA Series Filter Cartridges

PP Pleated Absolute (Beta 5000) filter cartridge for High Performance

This filter is constructed with a high surface area melt blown polypropylene media for low initial pressure drop, high dirt holding capacity, and high efficiency performance.

  • Micron ratings from 0.2 to 20 μm — broad application range
  • “Absolute” Efficiency — rated at 99.98% (Beta 5000
  • High surface area — high flow rate, and long service life — minimize maintenance cost
  • Fixed pore construction — resists dirt unloading at maximum differential pressure
  • Polypropylene construction — inert to many process fluids
  • Various gasket/O-ring materials — compatible with many fluids
  • Heavy duty molded cage — high structural strength
  • Highly consistent melt blown media for consistent performance
  • USP Class VI: Meets USP Class VI Biological Test for Plastics
  • FDA Listed Materials: All materials comply with FDA Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations Sections 174.5, and 177.1520, as applicable for food and beverage contact
