FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between PCHG-312 and traditional FG series?
A: The PCHG-312 uses PEACH® technology with a multidirectional, tortuous flow path creating a true gradient depth filter, offering higher contaminant loading and longer service life. The synthetic construction is environmentally friendly and represents an excellent upgrade option to traditional fiberglass "FG" style cartridges .
Q2: What filtration accuracy options are available?
A: We offer options from 0.3μm (SCW) to 10μm. For applications with precision equipment, 5μm or 10μm is recommended. For filtering iron sulfide particles, 0.1μm or 0.3μm is suggested .
Q3: When should the PCHG-312 be replaced?
A: Replace when the pressure differential reaches 12-15 PSID (0.8-1.0 bar). Maximum element differential pressure is 30 PSID without core or 50 PSID with core .
Q4: Will LEFILTER's PCHG-312 fit my existing filter housing?
A: Yes. The PCHG-312 can be used in PECO Series 75 and Series 85 vessels, as well as several competitor filter-separator vessels. The 4.5" OD × 12" dimensions and DOE end cap configuration ensure compatibility .
