Profile® UP Filters

Description
Profile® UP filters are 63.5 mm (2.5 in) diameter pleated
polypropylene cartridges. The absolute-rated filter
medium is constructed using Pall's proprietary method
of varying fiber diameter continuously to create a
tapered pore filter medium.

Given the unique medium construction and a proprietary

crescent-shaped pleat structure, the pressure drop of the
Profile UP filters is as low as half that of higher area pleated
filters and as low as one-fifteenth that of conventional
depth filters. Consequently, Profile UP filters provide
exceptional service life. Profile UP filters can best be
described as Pall’s Ultipleat® filters utilizing Profile depth
filter media. As a result, these filters are thicker than
conventional pleated filters and are optimized for gel
removal and sharp, distinct particle removal. This makes
the elements ideal for viscous fluids and dispersions in
addition to those many applications where long service life
is desired.

For P and W options, the filters are constructed entirely

of FDA-listed materials and the absolute rating of the Profile UP Filter
filter is based upon the widely accepted modified
Oklahoma State University (OSU) F-2 Filter Performance
(Beta Rating) Test.
