Maximum Operating Pressure
13.8 bar (1380 kPa, 200 psi) using compressed air or nitrogen
Sterilization
Provided non-sterile. Autoclavable at 121 - 123°C (250 - 253°F) at 1.0 bar (100 kPa, 15 psi) for 15 - 20 min; dry heat if desired at 170°C (338°F) for a minimum of 1 hr.
Note: Not recommended for use with volatile liquids or high purity fuels as explosion may result from the static discharge.
*Do not autoclave with aluminum foil; use autoclave paper or other permeable wrap such as Tyvek.
Applications
Best choice for rapid batch filtration of bacteriological or cell culture media, food liquids, viscous oils, hydraulic oils, or lubricants.
