Bottom of filter

The FP-1 was a dust filter available in Russia, during the post-USSR period. It is a small white canister that contains a single corrugated particulate-filtering layer. The filter has a plastic top-cap and the bottom of the FP-1 is sealed by a black rubber plug. Due to the filter not containing substantial amounts of filtering medium, the FP-1 is an incredibly light filter. It was most likely used as a pre-filter in conjunction with other industrial filters.

This filter has a small stamp on it: СЩ02 - this is a Russian safety standard that these filters conform to.
