Description
Filter candle 5'', 5 µm is a depth-style filter cartridge of type FK 5/5 (FFK 5 µm) with a length of 4 7/8'' to 5'' and a rated pore size of 5 µm. It is intended for particulate retention in laboratory and process water filtration housings that accept standard short filter candles of this length class. The 5 µm rating supports removal of fine suspended solids ahead of sensitive instruments, pure-water loops or downstream membrane stages. Supplied as a single piece, the candle is ready for direct exchange in compatible filter housings without additional adapters when the vessel is designed for 5'' elements. This filter candle from manufacturer Evoqua Water Technologies provides a defined micron rating and compact 5'' format for routine cartridge replacement. It is listed as product type filter candle and is suitable wherever a 5 µm, approximately 5'' long FK 5/5 style element is specified. Use it to maintain consistent prefiltration performance, protect conductivity and UV stages, and keep process streams free of coarse and fine particulates within the stated pore-size class.

Questions about Fine Filter cartridge 5'', 5µm
What is this article?
Fine Filter cartridge 5'', 5µm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Evoqua Water Technologies for laboratory use. It sits in Sintered glass filter plates & discs, inside Filtration, in Lab consumables.
A sintered glass filter is a disc of fused glass particles with a porosity grade, often 0 to 5, from coarse to fine. It is cleaned and reused. The porosity number, not a micrometre guess, is the specification. Hydrofluoric acid and strong alkali attack the glass.
Filtration holds back what is larger than the pores and lets the rest through. Paper is the ordinary laboratory filter. A membrane has a stated pore size and a polymer that must survive the solvent. A syringe filter is that membrane in a housing on a syringe. Glass fibre takes a higher dirt load. Ultrafiltration holds back macromolecules and passes salts. The pore size, the chemical compatibility and the volume are the three choices. Laboratory apparatus around filtration is indexed under ISO laboratory apparatus.
