How much gear can a .45 filter handle?

[x_con]

I am going to be filtering alot of gear and was wondering how many filters I'm going to have to buy. What is the greatest amount of gear that one .45 filter can handle before it loses its effectivness or clogs? I was thinking something like 50ml. Anyone?

want to stay clean don't go over 100ml. it kinda also depends on what kind of compound you are making too. such as deca, i feel you could push it a little. test. esters, no.

That's hard to know. It depends on the contaminant volume in the oil. Rule of thumb for me is 30ml per filter. I have had them clog on UG gear after 6ml.

i have done 100ml with no problem making my own stuff didn't go over that because it just isn't practical

Me too, I had 3 on hand just in case, but I ended up only using one to make 50g of EQ in 100ml.

Thanks for all your help, I'm going to stay under 50ml per filter and I'm going to pick up a couple extra just in case.

I did 75 ml of Test Enan with one and had no problem. I use a 60cc syringe and a caulking gun and it really makes it easy. But I keep a couple extra on hand in case I bust one.

I always use a super thin oil like grapeseed, but even then I rarely go over 50ml unless it's moving through really easily.

K for the caulking gun idea, I never even thought of that! God your forearms get sore just puching it through yourself.
