  • Support Materials: Polypropylene for media support, end caps, center core, and outer support cage
  • Sealing Method: Thermal Bonding
  • O-rings: Available in Buna, Viton® (or FKM), EP, Silicone, FEP Encapsulated Silicone, FEP Encapsulated Viton (or FKM)
  • Dimensions: Length ranges from 5 to 40 inches; Outside Diameter is 2.75 inches; Filtration Area is 6.0 ft² per 10-inch length
Performance and Testing:
  • Integrity tests are conducted on representative samples from each manufacturing lot.
  • Maximum Operating Parameters: Differential Pressure - Forward 50 psid at 20°C, Reverse 40 psid at 20°C; Operating Temperature - 82°C at 10 psid; Recommended Changeout Pressure - 35 psid
Sanitization/Sterilization:
  • Autoclave: 121°C for 30 minutes, multiple cycles
  • In-line Steam: 135°C for 30 minutes, multiple cycles
  • Chemical Sanitization: Using standard concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, paracetic acid, sodium hypochlorite, and other chemicals
Applications: Suitable for compressed air, pressurized gases, fermentation air, tank ventilation, solvents, and non-aqueous solutions.
Quality Assurance and Standards: Filters are designed for cGMP-compliant processes and meet ISO 9001:2008 standards. They are manufactured in clean rooms and each filter is traceable through a lot code.
Compliance: Materials meet USP Class VI - 121°C Plastics requirements and FDA regulations for repeated food contact. Filters comply with Title 21 CFR sections for non-fiber releasing filters.
Validation: 0.22 μm filters are validated with aerosol challenge tests using Brevundimonas diminuta.
Flow Rates: Typical flow rates for water and air/gas are provided for different pore sizes, with water flow rates ranging from 1.1 to 7.0 gpm and air/gas flow rates exceeding 62 scfm.
Ordering Information: Cartridge order numbers vary based on pore size, end cap type, and other specifications.

Quality Assurance and Standards Critical Process Filtration filters are designed for use in cGMPcompliant processes. Our state of the art manufacturing facility and quality management system both meet ISO 9001:2008 standards. Each operation from assembly and test to cleaning, drying, and packaging is done in appropriately rated clean rooms. Each filter is assigned a lot code to ensure the traceability of manufacturing data and materials. A sophisticated MRP system collects and processes real time data from manufacturing centers and inspection points. This allows variable and attribute data to...
