Filters - I was wrong

I made a statement somewhere that an absolute filter does not exist.

I was wrong, kinda.

A true absolute filter that no particles get through does not exist in any size our bikes can carry. That is what I was thinking.

I was working on a work issue toay and realized that what I missed was the real use of Absolute.

A 20 micron absolute filter lets no particle larger than 20 through.

A 5 micron absolute lets nothing larger than 5 through.

That is very true.

The key is, you MUST know the micron rating for it to be valid.

I still prefer Beta ratings myself, but I'll take what I can get.

My apologies.

:dh:
