Le degré de filtration. [...] la fonction primordiale et unique d'un filtre consiste à retenir les particules polluants circulant dans le circuit. Toutes ces particules n'ont pas la même taille. Un filtre ne pourra donc pas les retenir toutes. Et plus elles seront fines et plus il sera probable qu'elles passent au travers de ce filtre. [...] dans l'industrie [...] on se limite à un degré de filtration voisin de 15 microns.

OBS

degré de filtration : terme uniformisé par le Comité du projet de lexiques (Nouveau-Brunswick).
