What's even more odd is that the PL14006 shows just plain cellulose media, were the PL30001 shows a synthetic blend of cellulose and synthetic + glass fibers. The PL14006 has a total media area of 793 cm^2 and the PL30001 has a total media area of 2228 cm^2 (over 3 times the media area). Yet the PL14006 is 99% @ 17u and the PL30001 is 99% @ 25u.
I would think the synthetic blend media with over 3 times the media area would test better due to those factors - both tested at the same flow rate and oil viscosity. Doesn't seem to add up to me. A pure cellulose media with 1/3 the media area is the better one?
