A 100 micron pleated filter cartridge is the coarsest grade listed on the detailed INCE glass fiber series page. It is a candidate for coarse suspended-particle prefiltration where its documented retention meets the downstream protection requirement.
Before selecting this grade for equipment protection, establish the equipment supplier’s particle tolerance. A 100 µm filter is not a substitute for a finer cartridge when the damaging particles fall below its demonstrated retention range.
If the feed contains a heavy coarse-solids load, evaluate whether upstream screening or separation is appropriate before the cartridge stage. Choose the complete treatment train using maintainability and verified quality, not only a desired nominal flow.
This is a cross-material selection guide. The linked family pages are the catalog references, not substitutes for a confirmed grade-specific data sheet. Listed family information does not establish that every combination of dimensions, seals and rating is available.
| Material / request | Catalog status | Selection question |
|---|---|---|
| Glass Fiber | Exact 100 µm grade listed on the detailed family page | Confirm the multilayer media, support construction and approved operating conditions. |
70 µm is the finer stated grade within the same listed family. Use 100 µm only where its verified retention is sufficient; evaluate 70 µm or a finer stage when the protection requirement calls for it.
Nearby selection guides: 70 µm. Compare equivalent efficiency definitions and cartridge dimensions before changing grade.
| Required rating | 100 µm; state nominal/absolute definition and required retention efficiency. |
|---|---|
| Availability | Listed material families above; confirm the exact orderable combination. |
| Dimensions and interface | Confirm actual length, OD, ID, end-cap drawing and gasket arrangement against the existing housing. |
| Fluid and hydraulics | Provide fluid composition, concentration, viscosity at temperature, flow and allowable clean differential pressure. |
| Operating limits | Obtain configuration-specific temperature, pressure and change-out limits. Limits cannot be inferred from the micron number. |
| Documents | Request a grade-specific data sheet, retention method and any product-contact or validation records required for the application. |
Specify the coarse-particle target and downstream quality limit. Confirm the supporting structure, seal materials, housing fit and approved differential-pressure limit, then validate the proposed change-out procedure under operating conditions.
No grade-specific flow rate, retention percentage, service life, certification or microbial-validation result is asserted by this guide. Those values must come from documentation for the ordered configuration.

The number alone does not say. Request the retention efficiency, challenge conditions and test method for the exact grade. Do not assume a universal efficiency percentage from the word nominal or absolute.
Match the actual overall length, outside and inside diameters, end-cap interface and seal arrangement against the housing drawing. A matching micron rating or nominal length does not establish fit.
No. Particle-rating information alone does not establish sterilizing performance or removal of dissolved salts and chemicals. Microbial claims need product-specific evidence and process validation; dissolved contaminants require an appropriate treatment process.
Send the required rating and efficiency, liquid and concentration, flow, viscosity, temperature, pressure, particle load, cartridge dimensions, end-cap drawing, seals, quantity and required documentation. Ask INCE filtration to confirm the exact configuration before purchase.
