Filter Pressure Value (FPV)
Filter Pressure Value (FPV): Definition, Calculation & Control 1. Definition & Calculation FPV (Filter Pressure Value) quantifies the ease of polymer melt flow through filters under standardized conditions, measured by pressure increase over time. Formula: FPV = ΔP / (S × G) ΔP: Average pressure drop (Pa) S: Effective filter area (m²) G: Melt mass passing
