PRESSURE
DROP - The graph above shows the expected pressure loss per foot of bed
depth as a function of flow rate at various temperatures.
Features
- Complies with USDA & FDA regulations (paragraph 21
CFR173.5) for potable water applications.*
- Uniform particle size, low pressure drop.
- Low color throw (APHA No. 50 Max. as shipped).
* For potable water applications, the resin must be properly
pre-treated, usually by multiple exhaustion and regeneration cycles, to insure
compliance with extractable levels.
