Types Of Sediment Filters
Untitled Document
All sediment filters have one thing in common, filtration capability based on micron (µm) size. By definition, a micron is "a metric unit of length equal to one millionth of a meter" which is extremely small to the naked eye. The diameter of a human hair is roughly 25 microns. If a filter is rated to be 5 micron nominal then it means that 80% of pores on that filter are 5 micron and the rest could be larger. If a filter is rated to be 5 micron absolute then 99.9% of the pores are 5 micron and the rest could be larger. All sediment filters lower the water pressure of a given water source. Sediment filters require very little water pressure to operate – about 5 psi.
Spun "Melt blown" Sediment Filters
These types of filters are most economical and are most widely seen on the market. They are noticeable for their hard cotton-like appearance. Typically, these are made of 3-4 different layers and are usually made to have the largest micron on the outer most layers to the smallest micron on the inner most layers. The rating of the filter is based on the smallest micron and most inner layer of that filter. Spun sediment filters are ALWAYS made of polypropylene. Polypropylene is a type of thermoplastic that can be melted and bonded which is how the term "melt blown" came about.
Spun "melt blown" filters are typically described to look like a clean white paint roller. Although they are sometimes slightly pleated (circling the sediment filter). These types of imitated "pleated" filters increase the surface area for water to filter contact which ultimately decreases the amount of water pressure drop (which is good). You will never see rubber gaskets on a sediment filter. Rubber gaskets are used to help separate the product water and the source "feed" water and is seen on EVERY other filter except spun filters. Sediment filters are self sealing when properly used.
Their dirt holding capacity is considered to be better than pleated but worse than string wound filters. Their main purpose is to remove silt, oil, grease, and other forms of sand. It is very commonly used as a general filter to remove more than the above mentioned (i.e. dirt, particulate rust/iron, etc).
The micron rating of a spun filter is ALWAYS rated as nominal and NEVER absolute. You will never see a spun filter with an absolute micron rating because of the way it is made.
Spun filters are an all around average filter which can be used in almost any situation.
String Wound Sediment Filters
String wound filters have the appearance of a spool with yarn. They have a lot in common with spun "melt blown" sediment filters. They both have ONLY a nominal filtration and are ALWAYS made of polypropylene. Much like spun filters these also do not use rubber gaskets to seal the filter.
For dirt, silt and sand situations, it is always recommended to use a string wound sediment filter. These have the largest of the pressure drops as well as the largest of dirt holding capacity. It is very common for people with well water to use these types of filters due to the fact that they have large amounts of dirt/sand/silt in their well.
It is not recommended to use string wound filters for water with high amounts of oils and grease. Because oils attach to the surface of the filter, it will deliberately clog the filter. This will increase the pressure drop until it is completely clogged.
Pleated Sediment Filters
Pleated filters are recognized for their paper thin appearance. Their appearance resembles a well folded piece of paper that is in the shape of a circle. These types only have 1 layer of filtration. It can be made of several types of materials that include cellulose, polypropylene, and polyester – each with its own advantages and disadvantages. They require the use of rubber gaskets to seal properly.Pleated filters have the least amount of pressure drop due to the thickness and most of the time can be washed and reused several times before it is tossed away. The surface area of a pleated filter is much larger than any non-pleated filter.
Polyester pleated filters are used for removing suspended solids from water and are the most durable of the pleated filters because of their material. They are the most resistant to bacterial growth. Polyester filters are constructed of pleated non-woven polyester fabric that is bonded on the ends to thermoset plastisol or "end caps." Polyester is resistant to many chemicals and to bacterial damage, making them an excellent choice for removing suspended solids from non-chlorinated water supplies such as lake and well water.
Polypropylene pleated filters are the most economical filters. They have a higher dirt capacity than polyester filters. Polypropylene construction is excellent chemical compatibility. It is a very good general filter like polyester.
Cellulose pleated filters are also used for removing suspended solids from water. Pleated cellulose is bonded to the end caps of the thermoset plastisol. Cellulose pleated sediment filter are designed for use on chlorinated water supplies such as lakes & rivers.
Both absolute and nominal filters are available because of the way these are made. Absolute micron filters are priced higher than nominal filters because of the production cost. For general filtration, nominal microns are more economical than absolute. Absolute is used in more strenuous situations, for example in laboratories, where micron size plays a very important function.
The main purpose for these types of filters is to remove more solidified particulates like grit, sand, particulate rust and other larger sediment particles. Pleated filters have the least dirt holding capacity when compared to spun and string wound filters. Although they may be used for dirt filtration, they may not perform well for dirt holding capacity.
Pleated filters are recommended for homes that cannot afford the pressure drop but have the presence of sand, grit, or sediment particulates.

Will a grinding wheel bearing endure?
I just recently had the wheel bearing replaced on my car (a prepacked) and, evidently, the axel bolt wasn't torqued to the 200lb specification- so the wheel was shaking until I could get the socket to air ratchet it with... after tightening it- the thing starting to grind again... do I need to replace the thing again 'now' or is it probably fine for a while?
If you didn't toque it to the its specifications, you may have to check the hub before putting a new bearing, and yes you do need to replace the bearing again.
Good luck.

I would like to know which is better: Gearwrench or Craftsman reversible wrenches! ?
Besides price difference, is there any difference? I am a big Craftsman fan, but Craftsman cost almost double of that of Gearwrench.
You have to weigh the cost of the tool against the amount of use you'll get from it, along with the fact that the Craftsman hand tool is guaranteed "FOREVER". If the Gearwrench can match that at a lower price, I'd try it.

Guaranteed Dealing With Ending A Relationship
Many of us have experienced the devastating pain of breaking up with our other half. However upset and heartbroken we are, usually the only thing we can do is hold our tears and try to forget all the unforgetable memories. We never believe that one day our beloved ones will be touched by our love again, because our society so mercilessly taught us to give up all hopes after failed relationships. And yet today one man's book is gonna change that cliche forever.
The man is T.W Jackson. And the name of the book is the Magic of Making up.
One common side-effect of sweet romance is the heart-wrenching pain it brings when it comes to end. However, in Mr Jackson's book, we are presented convincing techniques to turn our loser state of mind into brand new confidence that eventually wins back lovers' hearts.
Everybody feels depressed and hopeless after a torturing break up. Before the Magic of Making Up, few people thought they could escape from the emotional mire and recover their lost intimacy. In this book, Mr Jackson teaches you a variety of skills to clean up your emotional mess and find the switch that will turn your situation around.
Another original perspective Mr Jackson offers in the book is that some of us tend to become self-indulgent after emotional crisis, and become blind to the hidden message our ex send to us and thus miss the golden chances to get our boys/girls back. At the same time, others take every possible means to please their ex and end up annoying and disappointing their old lovers and forever shutting the door to reunion. For both types of people, the Magic of Making Up reveals a third path which is neither sheer despair nor over reaction and aggresiveness. It gives you practical advice regarding how exactly you should act and what exactly you should say to right the wrongs.
Like all revolutionary thinkers, Mr Jackson, the author of the Magic of Making up is often misunderstood and ridiculed. However, like all revolutionary thinkers, Mr Jackson provides hope to the defeated and opens the gate to lost happiness. Read his book and you will agree with me. Download click here

How much does it usually cost to get a top end rebuilt on a CR250?
I'm thinking about getting a 2 stroke bike but don't want to be wrenching on it all the time. So I'm wonding how much on average shops charge to rebuilt the top end of these things.
You'll have roughly $125 in parts. Labor of course depends upon the shops rate, but I'd figure on roughly 1.5 to 2.0 hours.
The thing is, if you have any kind of mechanical aptitude you can do it yourself. If your going to be riding regularly you really should learn how to maintain the bike yourself anyway. It isn't hard, and doesn't require any special tools outside of a torque wrench.
I usually get at least one racing season out of a top end on a 250 or 300, which is 16 two hour hare scrambles plus some trail riding time in between races. But to achieve this I don't use cheap oils and always service the air filter and change the engine oil after each ride.
Good luck!
EDIT:
I find it funny that mxlj warns against buying from a dealer, then suggests and gives links to, off all things, DEALER WEBSITES.
Here's a heads up... The only businesses that can buy and sell either O.E.M. or aftermarket powersports products are DEALERS. Whether it is a franchised O.E.M. or independent shop, they are ALL dealers.
The overwhelming majority of businesses on the 'net selling parts and accessories are dealers or shops that sell at a discount via the net or mail order to augment thier income and boost sales volumes.
That being said, why wouldn't you want to support local businesses and keep money in your own communities and area? Anymore there are shops on nearly every street corner so finding a local shop or dealership in which to build a relationship with is easy. Even using the argument that it's not in stock doesn't make sense, because if you do business on the net YOU are ordering the part. So why not let a local business do the same thing and help your local economy?

how to calculate the applied force in a direction of a wrench?
A force of F = 25 N is applied at the end of a wrench handle that is 24 cm long. The force is applied in a direction perpendicular to the handle as in the diagram.
(a) What is the torque applied to the nut by the wrench?
(b) What would the torque be if the force were applied halfway up the handle instead of at the end?
(a) 25N * 0.24m = 6Nm (6 newton metres)
(b) half of the first answer, 3Nm.

what makes stainless fasteners gawl?
i am using 14-20 nuts and bolts and i have had a large percentage so far gawl during assembly. I have used both an air rachet, and a hand rachet and they are still gawling. I just wonder if it is just a poor quality fastener.
This is not poor quality fasteners it is just the nature of the beast. Stainless to stainless fasteners will gawl almost everytime. i can make a few suggestions that might help though.
1. use either a Zinc coated nut or bolt with the stainless or make both nut and bolt zinc coated. this will resist weathering just about as well as stainless hardware. But may not hold up to some chemicals.
2. Use anti-sezze (I think thats how its spelled) this will help stainless fasteners tremendously.
3. Make sure you do not over torque the bolts the max torque for a bolt that size is probably 3 ft-lb maybe less.

How to reverse a Craftsman Microtork Torque Wrench?
I just got a Craftsman Microtork Torque Wrench Model No: 44594. (http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00944594000P) The directions say that I can "Set the reversing lever for the proper direction of the operation." And the manual points out the Ratchet reversing lever, which is also the same thing as the Drive!? But the manual does not tell me how to actually reverse the lever. And the leaver is not the typical one you see on any reversible socket wrench. (See link above.)
Can someone tell me how I can switch from tighten to loosen with this torque wrench? But I've also heard that you are to never loosen anything with a torque wrench. Is that true?
your link is broken so i can't answer...
