5 Micron Air Filters

What is a 5 Micron Filter?

A 5 micron air treatment filter is designed to guarantee a degree of purity of the air that remains constant throughout the whole operating cycle. This filter is capable of intercepting particles that are 5 microns or larger.

How Do You Select an Air Filter?

Air filters are measured by the size of the particles they can keep from escaping air compressors. These particles are measured by microns because they are so small. One micron is equal to one-millionth of a meter. When deciding on an air filter, it is important to consider the size of the particles you are trying to filter out of the compressed air. If your application requires filtration of particles smaller than 5 microns, we recommend the .01 micron air filters. If your project does not require filtering extremely small particles, we recommend the 5 micron air filters because these machines and filters require less pressure and tend to last longer.

Why use a 5 micron compressor filter?

5 micron filters use a filtration process to remove unwanted particles from compressed air. If you do not use an air line filter, water, oil, dirt, and other particles can contaminate the air and your surroundings. Proper air treatment is critical to the health of your air system and projects that require compressed air.
