Step 1. Determine your application,
media grade and media type.
Choose media type from the descriptions below, from the basic application circuits
on the previous page, or consult a Finite application engineer. Decide the media grade from the bottom of
the following page. If your application requires a coalescing element, use the information listed
below. For other media types, please see the following page.
Finite’s media grade 4 is
typically chosen when an
extremely high coalescing
eciency is required. Its
99.995% rating is the best
available and is ideal for use as
a nal lter in applications with
elevated operating pressures up
to 290 PSIG. Grade 4’s higher
operating pressure drop can be
reduced by oversizing. Consult
factory.
Grade 4
Grade 6 lters are used when
“total removal of liquid aerosols
and suspended nes” is required.
Because of its overall performance
characteristics, this grade is most
often recommended in a variety
of industrial applications. Grade 6
is an excellent choice as a prelter
for regenerative desiccant air
dryers, as it prevents oil or varnish
from coating the desiccant.
Grade 6 (Standard)
Grade 8 lters combine high
eciency (98.5%) with high
ow rate and long element
life. A separate prelter is not
required for “normal to light”
particulate loading. A grade
8 element is often chosen as
protection for refrigerated air
dryers. is element allows the
dryer to maintain eciency
by preventing the coating of
copper coils with the build-up
of oil or varnish.
Grade 8
Grade 10 lters are used as pre-
lters for grades 6 or 8 to remove
gross amounts of liquid aerosols
or tenacious aerosols. Grade 10
is often referred to as a coarse
coalescer, or precoalescer. It is
typically followed by a grade 6C
nal lter.
Grade 10
Coalescing Elements (removal of liquids and particulate)
Media type C
Available in grades 4,6,8 or 10
Air Flow: Inside to Outside
is coalescing element is made with our special
UNI-CAST construction. Composed of an
epoxy saturated, borosilicate glass micro/nano
ber media, this media is used in applications
requiring the removal of liquid and particulate
contamination. e outer synthetic fabric layer
allows swift removal of coalesced liquids.
Media type 7CP or XF
Air Flow: Inside to Outside
Finite’s 7CP media type consists of two lter
layers between metal retainers. e outer layer
removes aerosols while the inner layer traps solid
particles, protecting and extending the life of the
outer layer. 7CP elements are used in bulk liquid
coalescing applications or when relatively high
eciency and low pressure drop are required.
Finite’s XF media type are constructed similarly
to the 7CP, but oer even higher ltration
eciency for more critical compressed air
quality demands.
