OVERVIEW

A cartridge filter is a piece of tubular filtration equipment that can be used across various industries for an array of filtration requirements. A cartridge is encased within a housing or a casing and used to remove unwanted particles, pollutants, and chemicals from liquids. The cartridge is exposed to water, liquid or solvent that needs filtration, as it flows inside the housing and passes through the filter element. Cartridge filters can also remove submicron particulates.

The micron size ratings can be “Nominal” or “Absolute.” A nominal rating indicates that the filter cartridge will remove 95% of the particles of that micron size. An absolute rating indicates that the filter will remove 99% of the particles.
