FA Series microfilter cartridge

    Product Description

    Facet’s FA Series microfilter cartridges are engineered for high-efficiency removal of ultra-fine solid contaminants in critical liquid filtration applications. Designed for industries demanding superior fluid purity (such as aviation fuel, oil & gas, and industrial process filtration) the FA Series delivers superior performance and exceptional durability, ensuring protection for downstream equipment and optimal process reliability.

    Manufactured from proprietary blends of Micro Fiberglass and Cellulose, these cartridges are built to achieve precise micron retention ratings, effectively trapping rust, scale, granular debris, and other particulates. The unique one-piece design and spirally wound core provide structural integrity, reduce cartridge weight, and minimize the risk of filter bypass, resulting in lower downtime and reduced change-out costs.

    Qualified to meet the latest edition of EI 1590 specifications, the FA Series is the trusted choice where compliance and filtration efficiency are paramount. Each cartridge is constructed with corrosion-resistant metal components and is available in a variety of sizes and micron ratings to match your system’s operational requirements.

    The FA Series can be made in the same crushable, incinerable style cartridge as the Crushable Incinerable Cartridges by adding “CIF” to the end of the part number.
