3 Absolute-rated filters have been designed and tested to reject at least 99% of particles of the listed micron size. Nominal-rated filters have a wider
distribution of pore sizes and therefore a wider distribution of rejected particle sizes. The nominal rating is primarily used to compare efficiencies
across a filter family and between filter manufacturers. Efficiency is dependent on particle shape, size, composition, application, and testing protocol.
