A typical micronic type filter... utilizes an element made of specially treated paper which is formed in vertical convolutions(wrinkles). An internal spring holds the elements in shape. The micronic element is designed to prevent the passage of solids greater than 10 microns(0. 000394 inch) in size. In the event that the filter element becomes clogged, the spring loaded relief valve in the filter head will bypass the fluid after a differential pressure of 50 p. s. i. has been built up. Hydraulic fluid enters the filter through the inlet port in the filter body and flows around the element inside the bowl. Filtering takes place as the fluid passes through the element into the hollow core, leaving the foreign material on the outside of the element. 3, record 1, English, - micron%20filter

Micronic glass beads are used primarily in single pass efficiency tests when gravimetric analysis is required. The beads are generally round and smooth(as opposed to ISO Test Dust) and as such are generally considered by most filtration experts to be a non-representative sampling of contaminants from real world applications. Glass beads may be furnished in sizes generally from ten(10) microns to 120 microns. 2, record 3, English, - micronic

Les procédés physico-chimiques induits par laser ont des propriétés spécifiques qui en font des solutions alternatives aux techniques classiques : ils sont localisés et contrôlés par le faisceau laser, sélectifs, in situ, basse température, et capables d'une résolution submicronique. Les expériences sont réalisées en atmosphère contrôlée avec un laser excimère XeCl (= 308 nm, impulsions de 20 ns). 4, record 3, French, - micronique
