Air Filter – Element Premium

Approvals and Standards

• OEM Equivalency: Designed to meet or exceed the original equipment manufacturer’s specifications for filtration efficiency, airflow, and size.
• ISO 5011: This is the key international standard for testing inlet air cleaning equipment for internal combustion engines. It certifies performance in:
  • Dust Capacity: How much dirt the filter can hold before it clogs.
  • Filtration Efficiency: The percentage of test dust the filter captures.
  • Airflow Restriction: The resistance the filter creates to incoming air.

Technical Highlights & Features

• Filter Media: Made from a specially designed, resin-impregnated cellulose paper or synthetic fabric. The media is pleated to maximize surface area, balancing high filtration with low airflow restriction.
• Gasket Seals: Features rubber or foam gaskets on the ends to ensure a perfect, airtight seal within the airbox. This prevents unfiltered “dirty” air from bypassing the filter.
• Reinforced Construction: Often includes a metal mesh or screen on one or both sides to provide structural integrity and prevent the pleats from collapsing under the suction of the engine.
• Water Resistance: The resin treatment helps the filter media resist moisture and engine fluids, preventing it from disintegrating.
