Mean filter rating

Mean filter rating

A mean filter rating is a measurement of the mean pore size of a filter element. It is far more meaningful than a nominal filter rating, and, in the case of filter elements with varying pore sizes, more realistic than an absolute rating. It establishes the particle size above which the filter starts to be effective, and is relatively easily determined by means of the bubble point test described in the next Chapter.
