FNM Capsule Filters Nylon 6,6 Membrane Applications Bottled Water Container Wash/Rinse Water septically Packaged Liquids A Soft Drinks FNM Capsules are hydrophilic and manufactured with the highest quality Nylon 6,6 membrane. Nylon 6,6 exhibits very low extractables with precise retention ratings. FNM capsules are used for critical applications in the production of food & beverage products. P recise retention ratings in a filter with very low extractables FNM capsules are rinsed with high purity water to remove manufacturing debris and extractable substances, assuring that products filtered using NM capsules are not affected by the filter. Final filtration of bottled water, process water, syrups, soft drinks S terilizing filtration of aseptically packaged liquids FNM Capsule Filters - Filtration Area Capsule Length Nylon Membrane Flow Rate / Filtration Area The following table represents typical water flow at a one psi (69 mbar) pressure differential across a single 2 inch capsule with 1.0 ft ² (930 cm²) of media with 1/2” FNPT ports. The test fluid is water at ambient temperature. Higher pressure drops are acceptable, but as flows increase the pressure drop of the housing becomes more apparent. 0.10 μm Pore Size * For approximate flow rates for 5” through 30” capsules, refer to the appropriate cartridge data sheet Construction Materials Maximum Operating Parameters Liquid Operational Pressure Filtration Media Gases Operational Pressure Media Support Operating Temperature Center Core Forward Differential Pressure Outer Support Cage Reverse Differential Pressure Sealing Method Thermal Bonding Recommended Changeout Pressure Food and Beverage Grade FNM capsule filters are used to remove organic contaminants from bottled water, process water, syrups, soft drinks and for sterilizing filtration of aseptically packaged products.

Integrity Test Specifications Pore Size FNM capsules are validated using test procedures based on ASTM Method F838-05 and HIMA protocols. The challenge level is 107 organisms per cm2 of filter media: Max Diffusion Rate (cc/min -water wetted membrane) 0.22 μm challenged with Brevundimonas diminuta; 0.45 μm challenged with Serratia marcescens; 0.65 μm challenged with Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
