MXGP400-40N-SM Replacement Filter Cartridge – 40 μm Parker MaxGuard Compatible

1. Core Specifications

2. MXGP400-40N-SM Cross Reference & Related Parker MaxGuard Models

3. Materials of Construction

The MXGP400-40N-SM replacement filter uses polypropylene media and structural components for compatibility with a wide range of aqueous and process-fluid applications. Final suitability should be confirmed based on process-fluid chemistry and operating temperature.

• Filter Media: Absolute-rated Pleated Polypropylene (PP)
• Support/Drainage: Polypropylene
• Hardware (Cage/Core): High-strength Polypropylene
• End Caps: Reinforced Polypropylene
• O-ring Seal: Buna-N Standard (EPDM, Silicone and Viton available upon request)

4. Recommended Operating Conditions

• Maximum Operating Temperature: 176°F (80°C) @ 30 psid (2.1 bar)
• Maximum Forward Differential Pressure: 70 psid (4.8 bar) @ 77°F (25°C); 30 psid (2.1 bar) @ 176°F (80°C)
• Recommended Change-out differential pressure: 35 psid (2.4 bar)
• Maximum Flow Rate: 90 GPM (340 LPM)

6. Typical Applications

The MXGP400-40N-SM Replacement Filter Cartridge is particularly suited to high-volume systems requiring 40 micron absolute filtration, high contaminant capacity, and efficient upstream particle removal.

• Industrial Upstream Prefiltration: Removal of larger suspended contaminants before finer downstream cartridges.
• Cooling Water Systems: High-capacity particle removal from industrial cooling and recirculation water.
• Industrial Process Water: Pretreatment of plant, utility, and high-volume process water streams.
• Power Generation: Prefiltration of cooling and compatible utility water systems.
• Chemical Processing: Coarse particulate removal from compatible chemicals and process liquids.
• Oil & Gas Processing: Removal of larger suspended solids from compatible process fluids and water streams.
• Industrial Wastewater: Initial particulate removal before finer filtration or downstream treatment.
• Equipment Protection: Upstream contaminant control to reduce solids loading on finer filters and downstream equipment.

7. Key Features of MXGP400-40N-SM Replacement Filter

• Compatible MaxGuard Configuration: Designed as a compatible alternative for selected Parker Fulflo MaxGuard MXGP400-40N-SM applications.
• 40 Micron Absolute Filtration: Provides 40 μm absolute particle retention at β=5000 / 99.98%, suitable for upstream industrial filtration.
• Optimized for Coarse Particle Removal: The 40 micron grade is particularly suitable for capturing larger suspended contaminants before finer downstream filtration stages.
• Large Pleated Filtration Area: Supports contaminant loading and stable flow performance in industrial filtration systems.
• Low Clean Pressure Drop: The relatively open 40 micron media provides a very low flow resistance compared with finer MaxGuard grades; Parker lists a flow factor of 0.00023 psid/gpm @ 1 cks.
• Pleated Polypropylene Media: Provides efficient contaminant capture and broad compatibility with many industrial liquid applications.
• Buna-N Sealing: Equipped with a Buna-N (NBR) seal for applications where nitrile elastomer compatibility is appropriate.
• 226 Positive O-Ring Seal: Provides secure cartridge seating and reliable sealing in compatible housings.
• Integrated Handle: Flat closed end with handle simplifies cartridge installation and routine change-out.

8. Quality & Regulatory Compliance

• ISO 9001:2015: Manufactured in a certified facility with strict quality controls.
• FDA Compliance: Materials meet FDA Title 21 CFR for food and beverage contact.
• Batch Traceability: Every MXGP400-40N Replacement Filter is batch-coded for full transparency.
