Poly Fine ARD Filter Cartridges

Summary

Product identification

The Poly-Fine® ARD Series Filter Cartridges are spiral wound, absolute rated depth filter cartridges.

Key features include:

• Innovative depth filter cartridge technology
• All-polypropylene components
• Absolute rated at >99.9% efficiency with retention ratings from 0.5 to 70 microns
• Proprietary filter media for highly consistent, reproducible performance
• Cartridge free of surfactants, binders and adhesives
• Graded pore structure provides pre and final filtration in one cartridge
• Resists contaminant unloading even at high differential pressures

Operating limits

• Maximum differential pressure:
  • 1.0 bard @ 82°C (15 psid @ 180°F)
  • 5.2 bard @ 20°C (75 psid @ 68°F)
  • Note: Heavy wall center core option is recommended for applications where the operating temperature exceeds 52°C (125°F).
• Recommended change-out differential pressure: 2.4 bard (35 psid), provided that the maximum differential pressure is not exceeded based on temperature limits.

Product water

• Rinse-up: Rinse-up to 18 Megohm-cm with a minimum of throughput.
• Purity: Cartridges are free of surfactants, resins, binders, and adhesives.
