Cartridge filter is used almost entirely for clarification, the cleaning of a fluid from contamination, and the fluid is most often a liquid, with contaminant levels of less than 0.01% by weight(i.e. less than 100 ppm). However, some baghouses for solids recovery from gases now use cartridges as their filter elements.
Cartridges are available in a very wide range of types, and in almost every type of filter medium.
Cartridges are made to work by surface and depth filtration, the choice between which is dependent on a number of factors. Filtration performance can range from 0.5mm down to 0.1micron or even less where membranes are used for the filter medium.
