Ultipleat High Flow XL Filters System

Summary

Product identification

The Ultipleat® High Flow XL filter is a large-diameter, coreless, single open-ended, pleated cartridge designed for high-flow applications. It features an inside-to-outside flow pattern and an optimized crescent-shaped pleat geometry for moderate solids loadings.

Key Benefits:

• Up to 50% smaller filter system possible.
• Up to 40 times fewer elements to change out.
• Higher flow rates per filter cartridge - up to 500 gpm (1900 lpm).
• Coreless, all plastic construction to minimize waste disposal.
• Absolute rated filter medium for reproducible performance.
• Inside to outside flow configuration - all debris within the filter.
• Polypropylene filters are made from all FDA listed materials.
• Long service life in moderate solids loadings applications.

Operating limits

• Maximum Differential Pressure² (normal inside to outside flow): 50 psid (3.44 bar) at 250˚F (121˚C)
• Maximum temperature (aqueous systems): 140˚F (60˚C)
• Maximum differential pressure across tubesheet: 75 psid (5.17 bar) maximum

Housing Ratings (Pressure Rating in Psig/Bar g at 140°F / 60°C):

• Carbon steel vessel, 304 stainless steel tubesheet: 275 psig (18.95 bar)
• 304 stainless steel: 259 psig (17.85 bar)
• 304L stainless steel: 216 psig (14.89 bar)
• 316 stainless steel: 261 psig (17.99 bar)
• 316L stainless steel: 216 psig (14.89 bar)

Absolute Liquid Removal Rating (Ultipor® GF, Code HGF100):

• 10.0 Microns at 99.9% Efficiency by Particle Count¹

¹ The test procedure used is an adaptation of ISO 4572, modified to determine the micron size above which particles are quantitatively removed.

Element Pressure Drop (Ultipor® GF, Code HGF100, 10.0 Microns):

• 20 inch length: 0.0029 PSID/GPM / 0.88 MBar/(M³/H)
• 40 inch length: 0.0014 PSID/GPM / 0.425 MBar/(M³/H)
• 60 inch length: 0.001 PSID/GPM / 0.304 MBar/(M³/H)

Housing Design: Three configurations are available: horizontal, vertical, and centerpipe design.

• Horizontal configurations may eliminate the need for a platform or ladder.
• Vertical vessels are suitable when floor space is limited, but may require a platform for element removal.
• Centerpipe vessels offer easier access to filters but are larger in diameter and more costly.
• Designed to the ASME, section VIII, division 1 code.
• Standard housing gasket: spiral wound 304 stainless steel mineral fiber.
• Carbon steel exterior surfaces: sandblasted and coated with an inorganic zinc.
• Vent and drains: 1 inch FNPT
• Corrosion allowance: 1/8 inch
