Both PE and PA use a porous sintered structure for depth filtration, but their temperature resistance differs. The listed maximum operating temperature is below 80°C for PE cartridges and below 110°C for PA cartridges. Final material selection should also consider chemical compatibility, mechanical strength, process temperature, and the specific fluid being filtered.

The sintered porous structure provides a three-dimensional filtration path that captures contaminants throughout the depth of the filter rather than only on the surface. This helps distribute the solids load, provides high dirt-holding capacity, and supports more stable filtration performance when processing fluids with relatively high levels of suspended particles or impurities.

These cartridges offer good resistance to many acids, alkalis, and organic solvents, but compatibility depends on the exact chemical, concentration, operating temperature, exposure time, and cartridge material. PE and PA do not have identical chemical resistance, so the complete process conditions should be reviewed before selecting the appropriate material.

The listed maximum positive differential pressure is 4.0 bar. The temperature limit depends on the selected material, with PE specified below 80°C and PA below 110°C. Because pressure resistance can change with temperature and chemical exposure, actual operating conditions should be confirmed before final cartridge selection.

Selection should consider process fluid, chemical concentration, operating temperature, required filtration precision, solids loading, flow rate, differential pressure, cartridge length, connection type, and seal material. For replacement applications, providing the existing cartridge dimensions and connection details is the most reliable way to confirm compatibility.
