Les illustrations que l'on trouve pour «horizontal tank pressure leaf filter» et «filtre à cadres verticaux, cuve horizontale et nettoyage manuel» dans ENSCI 1982 5-404 et TECHN J2 1543-8 nous portent à croire qu'il s'agit du même appareil. Cependant, à la lecture des textes dont nous disposons, il semble que le «leaf filter» soit un générique par rapport au «filtre à cadres». 3, record 1, French, - filtre%20%C3%A0%20cadres
