ZCore

Summary

Product identification

The ZCore filter is a depth filter engineered for high-temperature applications.

Key features and benefits include:

• Greater contaminant capacity compared to filters with equivalent removal efficiency (90% removal efficiency at rating using ASTM F-795).
• Resists contaminant unloading even at high differential pressures.
• Specifically engineered for high-temperature filtration.
• Unique construction maintains structural integrity while significantly increasing dirt holding capacity.
• Polypropylene core enhances strength and temperature resistance.
• Melt-bonded exterior ensures no media migration and prevents premature surface blinding.

Operating limits

• Maximum forward differential pressure:
  • 15 psid (1.03 bar) at 180°F (82°C)
  • 25 psid (2.07 bar) at 150°F (66°C)
  • 60 psid (4.14 bar) at 86°F (30°C)
• Maximum recommended change-out pressure: 35 psid (2.41 bar) @ 77°F (25°C)
