Fulflo Probond Filter Cartridge

Summary

Product Identification

The ProBond™ Filter Cartridges are part of the Resin Bonded Series, featuring phenolic resin construction. They utilize a proprietary two-stage filtration design to maximize particle removal and service life, especially in viscous fluid filtration applications.

Applications

• Paints
• Printing Inks
• Adhesives
• Resins
• Emulsions
• Chemical Coatings
• Organic Solvents
• Petroleum Products
• Process Water
• Oilfield Fluids
• Animal Oils
• Waxes
• Plasticizers

Features and Benefits

• Phenolic resin impregnation strengthens the cartridge for use with fluid viscosities up to 15,000 SSU (3200 cks).
• Withstands pressure surges up to 150 psid across the cartridge (depending on fluid temperature).
• One-piece construction eliminates bypass concerns and eases change out.
• Silicone-free construction prevents contamination that could adversely affect adhesion properties of coatings.
• Outer, spiral wrap collects large particles and agglomerates, while inner layers control particle removal at rated size.
• Outer wrap increases surface area and eliminates loose debris and contamination.
• Extra-long acrylic fibers provide added strength, resist breakage and migration.

ProBond Length Factors

• Length (in) | Length Factor
• --- | ---
• 9 | 1.0
• 10 | 1.0
• 19 | 2.0
• 20 | 2.0

Flow Rate and Pressure Drop Formulas

• Clean ∆P is PSI differential at start.
• Viscosity is centistokes.
• Flow Factor is ∆P/GPM at 1 cks for 10 in (or single).
• Length Factors convert flow or ∆P from 10 in (single length) to required cartridge length.

Flow Rate (gpm) = (Clean ∆P × Length Factor) / (Viscosity × Flow Factor) Clean ∆P = (Flow Rate × Viscosity × Flow Factor) / Length Factor

Ordering Information

The ordering code for Resin Bonded Series ProBond cartridges follows the format: PRO [Micron Rating] - [Length] [End Cap Options] - [Seal Options].
