Influence of Fineness of Feed Material on Wound Filter Performance

A variable that can be said to have influence on the performance of a wound filter is the fineness of the raw material of which it is composed. It may be noted that changing the yarn fineness will ultimately result in a change in the number of layers wound on the cartridge. If yarn is fine (smaller diameter), it will result in deposition of more layers and vice versa. This can result in a higher-pressure drop.
