    About Air Filter Efficiency Ratings
    industrial info icon

    Compare MERV rating, efficiency, and particle size to find the right filter for your location—from warehouses and offices to hospitals and labs.

    Low-Efficiency Reusable Air Filter Media

    Wash and reuse this media to extend the life of expensive filters that catch fine particles. Installed upstream, this affordable media traps debris that can damage or clog your final filter. Cut it to the size you need and attach it to a frame.

    EMI/RFI Shielding Electrical Enclosure Vents

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Electrical Enclosure Vents. EMI/RFI Shielding Electrical Enclosure Vents.
    These conductive aluminum screens block electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) to prevent electrical problems such as radio static and faulty signals. Made of mesh, they let air flow through, so the pressure in your enclosure stays constant as temperatures fluctuate.
    Screw through the vent frame to mount on the surface of your enclosure. A shielded foam gasket fills the gap between the enclosure and the vent.
    Interference Reduction @ Frequency—Also known as attenuation, interference reduction at frequency measures how much interference is blocked. These vents have high attenuation and work for most applications.
