FILTRATION MEDIA AND FILTERS TESTING – CHARACTERIZATION OF PERFORMANCES

 

Presentation

 

Principles and mechanisms of filtration (1hr)

– Filtration theory (Darcy’s law)

– Operating parameters having an impact of the filtration performances

 

 Characteristics of the fluids under filtration (2hrs) 

– Characteristics of the liquid itself (superficial tension, viscosity, density)

– Size characteristics of the solid particles (particle size distribution in number, mass or volume)

 

 Characteristics of filter media (4hrs)

– intrinsic: structure, particle size, mesh, pore …

– functional: hydraulic (permeability, pressure drop, …), filtering (efficiency, threshold, cut off …), compatibility (resistance to mechanical, chemical stresses …)

– integrity check

 

Panorama of the existing standards that apply to process fluids, fluid power, fuels and lubricating oils
