maximum flow is the highest permitted short-term flow and should not be equated with continuous operating capacity.

What does maximum flow mean in practice?

Determines the short-term hydraulic limit of the element, not necessarily the flow that provides full treatment effectiveness.

When does it matter?

At the maximum value, the pressure drop and velocity through the medium can be significantly higher than during normal operation.

Which solutions are related to it?

The nominal flow and intake profile are used for selection, and the maximum is treated as an immutable temporary limit.
