filtratiewaarde
Filtratiewaarde, often translated as filtration value or filterability, is a measure of how easily a liquid or suspension can pass through a filter medium. It is a crucial parameter in various industrial processes, including water treatment, chemical manufacturing, food and beverage production, and pharmaceuticals. A high filtratiewaarde indicates good filterability, meaning the substance passes through the filter quickly and efficiently. Conversely, a low filtratiewaarde suggests poor filterability, often due to the presence of fine particles, high viscosity, or a tendency of the material to clog the filter.
The filtratiewaarde is influenced by several factors. The physical and chemical properties of the fluid itself
Measuring filtratiewaarde typically involves a standardized filtration test. This usually involves applying a specific pressure or
