2Marksman PFT series filter cartridge retention ratings are based on Pall’s Dynamic Efficiency test protocol. This single pass, destructive challenge test is based on ASTM F-795 test procedures for determining the performance of a filter medium. Fine test dust is used as the test contaminant for filters in the 1 to 20 micron range. Coarse test dust is used for micron ratings above 20 micron. Additional information can be obtained by contacting Pall Corporation. NOTE: PFTM grade designations for 1, 3, 40, and 90 based on Beta 10 values, and all other grade designations are based on Beta 1000 values.
This information is a guide to the part number structure and possible options. For availability of specific options and housing details, please contact Pall.
