Filter Paper Performance Parameters and Their Differences

Filter paper is a critical material in filters, used to remove impurities, and its performance directly affects the filter's efficiency and lifespan. Here are the main parameters of filter paper and their differences:

  1. Filtration Precision (Micron Rating):

    • Filtration precision refers to the smallest particle size that the filter paper can capture, usually measured in microns (μm). High-precision filter paper can filter smaller particles, suitable for applications requiring high cleanliness.

    • For example, automotive oil filters typically use 10-20 micron filter paper, while fuel filters may require higher precision paper of 5-10 microns.

  2. Air Permeability:

    • Air permeability indicates the ability of air to pass through the filter paper under a certain pressure difference. Filter paper with good air permeability can provide better flow rates but may reduce filtration precision.

    • Air permeability is usually measured in cubic meters per square meter per minute (m3/m2·min).

  3. Tensile Strength:

    • Tensile strength refers to the maximum stress the filter paper can withstand when stretched. High tensile strength filter paper is more durable and less likely to tear.

    • Tensile strength is generally expressed in newtons per millimeter (N/mm).

  4. Thickness:

    • The thickness of filter paper affects its filtration performance and mechanical properties. Thicker filter paper usually has a higher dust-holding capacity but may reduce air permeability.

    • Thickness is usually measured in millimeters (mm) or microns (μm).

  5. Temperature Resistance:

    • Temperature resistance refers to the ability of filter paper to maintain stable performance in high-temperature environments. Temperature resistance is a key parameter for filters that need to operate under high temperatures.

    • Temperature resistance is usually measured in degrees Celsius (°C).

  6. Moisture Resistance:

    • Moisture resistance indicates the ability of filter paper to maintain stable performance in humid environments. High moisture resistance filter paper is suitable for humid or water-containing filtration environments, such as air conditioning filters.

    • Moisture resistance is usually evaluated by the change in strength after moisture absorption.

  7. Dust Holding Capacity:

    • Dust holding capacity refers to the maximum amount of dust the filter paper can hold during use. Filter paper with a high dust holding capacity can extend the filter's lifespan.

    • Dust holding capacity is generally measured in grams (g).

  8. Material Type:

    • The material types of filter paper include cellulose paper, synthetic fibers, composite materials, etc. Different materials have different performance characteristics and suitable applications.

    • For example, cellulose paper is cost-effective and suitable for general filtration; synthetic fibers have high strength and high-temperature resistance, suitable for high-performance filtration requirements.

Understanding these filter paper parameters and their differences can help in selecting the appropriate filter paper for specific application needs.
