Filter Cloth
Filter Cloth is the device of filtration process. Filter cloth is of woven or non woven fabrics of fiber,cotton or wool. The woven filter cloth is knitted as traditional cloth, but non woven is sediment ed.
Non woven filter cloth is generally produced by putting small fibers in the form of sheet or web and then joining them either mechanically or chemically with an glue. Non woven filtration fabric is less strong, it can be tear very easily. The woven type of filter cloth is robust than non woven.
Filter cloth’s strength is evaluated for tensile and bursting strength. Filtration degrees are secondary to the
strength measurements. Liquid filters are those who found in oil filtration system, are calculated for strength and filtration capacity also. The flow of liquid is Calculated in pounds per square. Tensile strength is also evaluated in pounds. The specific of measurements is depend upon the type of fabric and the purpose of the fabric. An absolute rating of 10 microns does not imply a good filter.
Now a days is available in different colors and sizes in accordance to the requirements.
Measurement of filtration rate of filter cloth is done in microns. Micron is similar term to micro meter. The micron is the smallest scale on which filter cloth performs filtration process. Rating of 10 microns mean that the filter can capture crystals that have diameter of 10 micro meter. commonly human hair’s diameter is about 70 micrometer. commonly bacteria are between 1 to 10 microns.
