Operating Characteristics in Compatible Fluids¹

Maximum Differential Pressure	Operating Temperature
5.0 bard (72.5 psig) (forward pressure)	40 °C (104 °F)
1.0 bard (14.5 psig) (reverse pressure)	40 °C (104 °F)
1.0 bard (14.5 psig) (forward pressure)	in-situ steam sterilization

Sanitization, Sterilization and Cleaning*

Media	Temperature	Cumulative Time/Cycles2
Steam	125 °C (257 °F)	40 hours /120 x 20 minute cycles
Hot water	85 °C (185 °F)	100 hours / 300 x 20 minute cycles
Peracetic acid based products (325 ppm of PAA and 1275 ppm of hydrogen peroxide)	Ambient	400 hours
*Nitric acid (0.5%)	Ambient	100 hours
*Phosphoric acid (0.5%)	Ambient	100 hours

¹Compatible fluids are defined as those which do not swell, soften or attack any of the filter components.
² Measured under laboratory test conditions. The actual cumulative time depends on the process conditions. For applications requiring Sterilization or Sanitization Pall recommends the use of Code 7 adaptors to ensure filter sealing after cooling. Cartridges should be cooled to system operating temperature prior to use. Contact Pall for recommended procedures.

Pressure Drop vs. Liquid Flow Rate³

15 liters per minute @ 100 mbar
2.74 US gpm @ 1 psi

Typical initial clean media differential pressure (ΔP) per 250 mm (10”) cartridge for water at 20 °C (68 °F); viscosity 1 centipoise. For 508, 762 mm and 1016 mm configurations divide the differential pressure by 2, 3, and 4 respectively.
Each 10” element has an effective filtration area of 1m².
