Choosing the Best Filter for Your Equipment

A. When the connection & airflow is known:
1. select the appropriate connection style. (i.e.: BSPT, Flange, BSPP, etc.)
2. check assembly m3/hr (flow) rating. Compare with your required airflow.
(Note: Assembly flow ratings are based on 6,000 FPM or 30m/sec for a given connection size to achieve low pressure
drop performance. When required flow exceeds assembly flow rating, the pressure drop through the outlet connection
will increase. In such cases select by element m3/hr (flow) rating.)
3. when required flow rating matches connection size; skip to “C. Selecting Elements”.
B. When the connection size is unknown, flexible, or the required flow rating exceeds assembly flow rating:
1. match required flow rating with the element flow rating.
2. choose related connection size.
C. Selecting Elements: The filter performance is influenced by the actual application duty and the equipment it is installed on.
Regular maintenance checks and proper servicing is required.
Application Duty Descriptions:
Industrial Duty: clean workshop or clean outdoor environment ‐ small element sizing is sufficient.
Severe Duty: dirty workshop, wastewater – medium to large element is recommended.
Extreme Duty: cement, steel making, plastics or dusty material conveying – largest element sizing is recommended.
1. Select media required by your application. Options include:
a. Standard media
1. Polyester: all purpose; withstands pulses, moisture, and oily air
2. Paper: mostly dry, smooth flow applications
b. Special Media: for a variety of micron levels and media types, see the “Filter Media Specifications” in the
Replacement Element Section or contact Solberg.
2. Select element size by matching the element with the anticipated duty and upsize accordingly.

Filter Assembly Maintenance

Request the appropriate maintenance manual for more in‐depth information from your Solberg representative or on our
website: www.solbergmfg.com.

Element Maintenance
Solberg elements should be replaced once the pressure drop reaches 37-50 mbar above the initial pressure drop of the
installation. Cleaning the element is also an option.

Solberg recommends replacing dirty elements for optimal performance. Any damage which results from by‐pass or additional
pressure drop created by element cleaning is the sole responsibility of the operator.

Note: The overall performance of a filter element is altered once cleaned. The initial pressure drop after subsequent cleanings
will be greater than the original, clean pressure drop of the element. After each cleaning, the pressure drop will continue to
increase. Under all circumstances, the initial pressure drop of the element needs to be maintained at less than 37 mbar.

If the pressure drop exceeds 50 mbar at start‐up; it should be replaced with a new element. With many types of equipment,
the maximum pressure drop allowed will be dictated by the ability of the equipment to perform to its rated capacity. Under
all circumstances, the operator should avoid exceeding the manufacturer’s recommended maximum pressure drop for their
specific equipment.
