### [Filter Sizing: Calculating Clean Element Delta P](https://www.hyprofiltration.com/blog/bid/358065/filter-sizing-calculating-clean-element-dp)

Choosing the best filter element size and media for a specific application can be tricky. You want media that is tight enough to help you reach your target ISO code. However, if you choose a media that is too tight for your application, the element differential pressure (Delta P or ΔP) will rise too quickly and you will be replacing elements far too frequently.
