✦ Synopsis

Based on geometrical considerations a theoretical equation has been derived relating pressure drop to filter-and fibre-properties. Theoretical predictions are shown to be in satisfactory agreement with experimental results, obtained with single component glass fibre filters having porosities not exceeding 094; for higher ftlter porosities the present theory should be refined.

A auantitative expression is given of the structure effect, shown to play an important role in optimal filter design studies. _ -
