• Particle Retention: See the official PDF for exact tabulated values for Liquid Service (90% and Absolute Removal Efficiency) and Gas Service (Efficiency By DOP Test).

Certifications and Sterilization

• FDA Listed Materials: Manufactured from materials listed for food contact applications per Title 21 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations.
• Toxicity: All components (gaskets excluded) meet specifications for biological safety per USP Class VI-50˚C plastics.
• Sterilization:
  • Multiple autoclaving for 30 minutes at 250˚F (121°C) under no end load conditions is permitted, provided cores are inserted.
  • In-line steam sterilization is not recommended.
  • May be in-line sanitized with hot water at 180˚F (82°C) for 1 hour.

Flow vs. Differential Pressure

A graph illustrating typical flow rates (gpm, lpm) versus differential pressure (psid, bar) for various filter grades with water at 68˚F (20˚C) is available in the full document. See the official PDF for application sizing data.

Ordering Information

The part numbering system for these elements follows the format MPPF M I – G N Q. Options include codes for filter grades, nominal lengths, gasket materials, end caps, and netting/cage.
