General Properties	N/A Flotrex PN filters are available in the following nominal pore size micron rating: 0.2, 0.45, 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 and 30 µm. Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 show further details on materials of construction, dimensions, operational limits and flow performance.
Additional Information	N/A Flotrex PN filters may be autoclaved or in situ steam sterilized (up to 257ºF [125ºC], 30-minute cycles) for a maximum accumulated exposure of 10 hours. Alternately, the filters may be sanitized with compatible chemical agents. GE certifies that the material contained in its Flotrex PN pleated filters meet U.S. FDA requirements for food contact under the applicable regulations in 21 CFR. For further information, contact GE technical services. Flotrex PN filters meet the test criteria for USP class VI- 121ºC Plastics. Aqueous extracts from Flotrex PN filters contain less that 0.25 EU/ml. The filters typically exhibit low levels of non-volatile residues. GE filter cartridges are designed and manufactured for resistance to a wide range of chemical solutions. Conditions will vary with each application and users should carefully verify chemical compatibility. Please contact your GE distributor for more information.
