Summary
Product identification
ROMICON® 1" Hollow Fiber Cartridges are ultrafiltration cartridges designed for filtration of process streams within a separation range of 5,000 to 500,000 Daltons. They are crossflow-type filters to minimize solids cake buildup and provide efficient filtration at low operating pressure.
- Membrane Polymer: Polysulfone
- Housing Construction: Polysulfone
- Seal/Potting Material: Proprietary Epoxy Compound
- Storage Solution: Glycerin
Options:
- Lumen sizes: 20 mil (0.5 mm), 43 mil (1.1 mm), 60 mil (1.5 mm), 75 mil (1.9 mm), 106 mil (2.7 mm)
- Membrane Types: PM5, PM10, PM30, PM50, PM100, or PM500
- ROMIPRO™ Cartridges: Selected cartridges of all membrane types are available with components that have passed USP Class VI test guidelines.

Product Nomenclature
The product nomenclature follows a standard field format:
- Field 1: HF – Hollow fiber cartridge
- Field 2 (optional): Market or application designation
- Field 3: Cartridge diameter times 10 in inches
- Field 4: Cartridge length in inches
- Field 5: Active membrane area in ft²
- Field 6: Fiber diameter in mils (1000 mil = 1 inch)
- Field 7: Molecular Weight Cutoff divided by 1000 in Daltons
Lubricants
For cartridge installation, use only water or glycerin to lubricate seals. Petroleum or vegetable-based oils or solvents may damage the cartridge and will void the warranty.
