Performance
Removal efficiency is based on a modified ASTM 795 test procedure. Efficiency of nominal filters varies by application; nominal filters have a wider distribution of pore sizes and therefore a wider distribution of rejected particle sizes. Absolute-rated filters are designed and tested to reject at least 99% of particles of the listed micron size.
See the official PDF for exact tabulated values for removal efficiency and clean water flow rate graphs.
