The Ceramic Foam Filter PPI refers to the plastic material used to make the ceramic foam and is found from the average number of pore boundaries encountered per inch. More recently the CFFs are \u2018graded\u2019 into different PPI categories according to air permeability.<\/p>\n

The type of filtration occurring in a CFF can be divided into deep bed, cake, or mixed filtration. The filtration efficiency is dependent on the pores PPI (pores per inch) of the ceramic foam filter material<\/a>, and also on the size distribution of the particulates to be removed. Ceramic foam filter efficiency is related to filter cell size. By carefully controlling cell size within the filter, a more consistent filtration performance can be achieved. Typically, removal efficiency increases as filter cell size and the metal velocity in the filter decrease.<\/p>\n

The size ranges of typical commercial CFFs are 10 to 80 PPI. 20-40 PPI are the most commonly used, for industrial cast houses to reach both the desired casting rate and achieve minimally acceptable filtration efficiency. The 10 to 20 PPI filters have poor particle retention, and are often used for filtration of entrapped bulk, surface borne oxides, and other large particulates generated during melting, holding, and transport. High pore density filters with 60-80 PPI are only useful for quality-sensitive applications, such as surface critical extrusion and sheet products.\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n
