filtermõõdud

Filtermõõdud, a term derived from Estonian, broadly translates to "filter measures" or "filtration measurements." In a technical context, it refers to the quantifiable characteristics or parameters used to describe and evaluate the performance of filters. These measures are crucial for understanding how effectively a filter removes unwanted substances from a medium, be it air, water, or other fluids.

Key filter measures often include efficiency, which quantifies the percentage of particles of a specific size that a filter can capture. Another important measure is the pressure drop, indicating the resistance the filter imposes on the flow of the medium. A higher pressure drop generally means more energy is required to push the medium through the filter, and it can also be an indicator of filter loading.

Other relevant filter measures can include dust holding capacity, which is the total amount of contaminant a filter can retain before its performance degrades significantly. Dirt-holding capacity is a similar concept, often used in the context of liquid filtration. These measures help determine the lifespan and maintenance schedule of a filter. The choice of appropriate filter measures depends heavily on the specific application and the types of contaminants being removed. Understanding these measurements is vital for selecting the right filter for a given task and for monitoring its ongoing performance.
