Food and Biological Safety

Materials conform to the relevant requirements of 21CFR Part 177, EC1935 / 2004 and current USP Plastics Class VI – 121 °C and ISO10993 equivalents.

Recommended Operating Conditions

The maximum differential pressure in direction of flow (outside to in) is 3.5 barg (50.76 psig) at 60 °C (140 °F).

The maximum recommended continuous inlet air temperature is 60 °C (140 °F).
Note: HIGH FLOW TETPOR II cartridges can be used as WFI vents in heated housings if changed on a 4-6 monthly basis.

Sterilisation

HIGH FLOW TETPOR II cartridges can be in situ steam sterilised for up to 225 cycles at 142 °C (287.6 °F).

Retention Characteristics

HIGH FLOW TETPOR II cartridges have been fully validated as 0.2 micron sterilising grade filter cartridges for compressed air and gas applications. They exceed liquid bacterial challenge levels as recommended by ASTM+. In addition, HIGH FLOW TETPOR II is also validated by aerosol bacterial and MS-2 Coliphage challenge testing.
+ASTM American Society for Testing and Materials

Integrity Test Data
