INDUSTRIAL BP, BPHE, & BN SERIES
FILTER BAGS
BP, BPHE & BN Series Filter Bags feature a thermally-welded, unique design that results in
consistent filtration efficiencies. They are designed to fit the BPHE-410 and BPHE-420 Housings.
Higher productivity can be achieved with faster bag change-outs. The semi-rigid cylindrical
design is easily crushed and incinerated.
FEATURES/BENEFITS
BP Series (Polypropylene Felt)
Filtration ratings from 1 to 200 microns
to comply with any filtration requirement
Manufactured from felt due to its high
solids loading capabilities versus similar
mesh fabrics
A glazed finish, created by melting
the outermost surface fibers, is used
to produce a bond that reduces the
possibility of migration
APPLICATIONS
Acids
Alkalis
Corrosive Fluids
Micro-organisms
Oils
Organic Solvents
BPHE Series (High-Efficiency)
For those critical applications when
high-efficiency combined with high
dirt-holding capacity is required
Polypropylene materials are processed
into microfibers with diameters of 1 to
10 microns or more, then converted
into filter material
Microfiber media is covered with spunbonded polypropylene
BN Series (Strainer)
Woven monofilment materials are
offered in nylon with micron ratings of
50 to 800
Efficiencies from 75 to 95%
Materials are cleanable and reusable

CORRECTION CHART
The following chart is based on 1 centipoise. (CPS)
If your liquid is greater than 1 CPS:
1. Select your liquid’s viscosity
2. Determine your correction factor
EX: If your liquid’s viscosity is 100,
your correction factor is 8.3
3. Multiply the Bag Selection Guide (left) by your correction

WARNING: For drinking water applications, do not use with water that is
microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection
before or after the system.
NOTE: This information is for general guidance. Users should test bag materials
with media involved to determine compatibility.
CAUTION: Protect against freezing to prevent cracking of the filter and water
leakage.
