Performance information

The efficiency of nominal filters varies by application. Nominal-rated filters have a wider distribution of pore sizes and rejected particle sizes. The nominal rating is primarily used for comparing efficiencies across filter families and between manufacturers. Efficiency depends on particle shape, size, composition, application, and testing protocol.

Clean water flow rate information based on a 10 inch length filter is provided in a graph in the official PDF. See the official PDF for exact tabulated values.

Quality and Certifications

Hytrex RX filters are manufactured under a quality management system certified to meet ISO 9001 standards. Each filter is assigned a lot code for traceability of data and materials.

Certifications:

• U.S. FDA 21CFR 177 food contact requirements
• U.S. FDA 21CFR 174.5 food contact requirements
• NSF 61 criteria
• ISO 9001 criteria

Ordering information

The product can be ordered by replacing numbers with desired values in the format RX [Micron Rating]-[Cartridge Length]-[End #1 Adapter][End #2 Adapter].
