Fabric Selection

Since each baghouse has its own set of characteristics, it is important to evaluate each of the following variables in order to choose a fabric best suited to the system:

Temperature
Moisture level
Particulate size
Gas stream chemistry
Air to cloth ratio
Particulate abrasiveness
Mechanical factors, such as
cleaning styles, installation, etc
