FGE

Summary

Product identification

FGE-Series High Purity Economy Grade Pleated Borosilicate Microglass Filter Cartridges are designed for high-efficiency retention of particulate matter from liquid and gaseous fluid streams. They are favored for superior retention efficiency, low pressure drop, and greater contaminant loading capacity.

These cartridges are often the preferred choice for economical options or applications requiring a 2.5” OD. The polyester hardware construction allows extended temperature use up to 200°F. They are suitable for food and potable water contact, meeting high performance demands in food and beverage production, and are manufactured in a clean-room environment.

The FGE-Series is offered in both absolute-rated (up to 99.98% retention) and nominally-rated (90% retention) grades in common adapter configurations.
