Product overview
The CMA absolute-rated PP melt-blown cartridge can be configured by rating, length, end fitting and seal.
A gradient-density PP construction with defined rating options for duties that place greater emphasis on particle control.

- CMA
- Selection priorities
- Media, rating basis, length, end fitting, seal, differential pressure and replacement conditions
Working principle
CMA uses graded-density PP for depth particle capture. The absolute-rating designation must be linked to a specific rating and test basis.
Construction & flow path
The cylindrical PP element is configured by length, ends and seals. Confirm mounting fit separately from rating evidence; a similar shape does not establish equivalence.
Applications & filtration duty
For process liquids with greater emphasis on particle control, including prefiltration candidates for downstream fine-filter elements.
Technical parameters
Use these specifications for selection. Materials, dimensions and operating conditions follow the selected model and agreed specification.
Materials & construction
- Filter media
Polypropylene (PP)
- Construction & fabrication
Gradient-density melt-blown construction, denser inside and more open outside, with a fine inner filtration layer.

Information to prepare for an inquiry
Use this family’s selection priorities to share available operating conditions, equipment information or drawings.
- Define target size, acceptable particle levels and the rating test method.
- Distinguish nominal and absolute ratings rather than comparing micron numbers alone.
- Provide count, length, flow and acceptable operating differential pressure.
Operation & maintenance
Keep records of pressure drop and downstream particle control. For demanding quality duties, include actual test results in replacement decisions.
Common operating inputs
- Fluid and major composition
- Target flow and operating pattern
- Operating temperature and pressure
- Contaminant form and target rating
- Material, connection and space constraints
- Maintenance frequency and existing equipment
Discuss this product’s configuration
Share the fluid, operating and installation conditions to review suitable specifications.
Products can be configured around the actual duty. Final specifications follow the quotation, drawing or technical agreement confirmed by both parties.
