Product catalog summary
Overview: The General Service Grade GPS Membrane Filter Cartridges are designed for general filtration needs, offering cost-effective solutions by maximizing filter media usage. These cartridges are flushed with high purity water to eliminate manufacturing debris.
Construction Materials: The cartridges are constructed using asymmetric polyethersulfone (PES) membrane for filtration media, with polypropylene used for media support, end caps, center core, and outer support cage. The sealing method is thermal bonding, and various O-ring materials are available, including Buna, Viton, EP, Silicone, and FEP encapsulated options.
Dimensions: The cartridges are available in lengths ranging from 5 to 40 inches, with an outside diameter of 2.75 inches. Each 10-inch length provides a filtration area of 7.0 square feet.
Integrity and Operating Parameters: Each manufacturing lot undergoes integrity testing. The maximum differential pressure is 50 psid forward and 40 psid reverse at 20°C. The operating temperature is up to 82°C at 10 psid in water, with a recommended changeout pressure of 35 psid.
Sanitization and Sterilization: The cartridges can be sanitized using filtered hot water, autoclave, or in-line steam, with specific conditions for each method. Chemical sanitization is also possible using standard industry chemicals.
Applications: These filters are suitable for process water, chemicals, DI water, cosmetics, inks, and dyes.
Flow Rate: The document provides a table of typical flow rates for various pore sizes, indicating the flow in gallons per minute (GPM) and liters per minute (LPM).
Ordering Information: The ordering system includes variables such as pore size, end cap type, cartridge length, and O-ring material, with specific codes for each option.
Compliance and Quality Assurance: GPS filters comply with FDA and European Commission regulations for food contact materials. The manufacturing facility meets ISO 9001:2008 standards, ensuring high quality and cost-effective production.
