Episode 7, Filter Sizing and Selection

In this episode, Scott Howard, our Strategic Accounts Manager, and Curt Martin, our Laboratory Manager at Hy-Pro Filtration, delve into filter element sizing and selection and that every application can be different and a balancing act. They discuss many intricacies about the selection process, the importance of understanding the ISO codes required, and the sensitivity of the equipment you are trying to protect. In addition, the use of standard and high collapse filter elements with and without bypass valves.
