Filtration Area

PGD Depth Filter Cartridges are designed to meet FDA
requirements. Our pharmaceutical grade fiberglass depth media
cartridges are composite media cartridges containing a final
downstream layer of polypropylene media to ensure fiber free
effluent. These cartridges have been rinsed with high purity
water to remove manufacturing debris from the product. They are
rated at 99% retention at the rated pore size. The cartridge offers
the benefits of high contaminant holding as well as excellent
retention. These high capacity cartridges are used in pre‑filter
applications as well as final filter applications where the goal is
bioburden reduction and not sterile product.

5 to 40 in. (12.7 to 101.6 cm) nominal

(Average - area varies with media thickness
and porosity)

5.8 ft2 (0.54 m2) per 10 in. length

Integrity Test Information

All filter cartridges are factory tested for integrity before shipment.
Field duplication of these tests is not practical because of the
absence of commercial portable testing equipment.
