Product Features

Based on the 3M filter cartridge structure shown in the product sheet, this high flow cartridge is designed for high flow capacity, long service life, strong dirt holding ability and stable performance in demanding industrial filtration applications.

High Flow Capacity

The flow handling capacity is stronger than that of many traditional filter elements, helping reduce cartridge quantity and improve filtration efficiency in high-flow systems.

Long Service Life

The filter element can accommodate more pollutants, extend service life and reduce operation and maintenance costs in continuous filtration processes.

Chemical Compatibility & Anti-Fouling

Good chemical compatibility helps tolerate a variety of chemicals, while high sludge holding capacity supports filtration of high-concentration polluted liquids for a long time.

Trademark and compatibility note: 3M is a trademark of its respective owner. This page describes INCE filtration replacement-style high flow cartridges for systems using 3M type cartridge formats. Products are supplied as compatible or custom alternatives according to customer-provided model numbers, drawings or samples, and are not claimed to be original 3M products.

Pure Water Flow Rate Test Data

The product sheet shows pure water flow rate test data for a 60 inch cartridge in water at 70°F. Lower micron ratings such as 1 µm create higher pressure drop, while coarser ratings such as 40 µm and 70 µm show lower resistance at the same flow rate.

Pressure Drop Trend by Micron Rating

Pressure Drop
Water Flow
1 µm2 µm5 / 10 µm15 / 25 µm40 / 70 µm

Reference condition shown in the provided product sheet: 60 inch cartridge, water, 70°F. Actual flow rate and pressure drop depend on cartridge length, housing design, liquid viscosity, contamination load, temperature and selected media.
