more pleats or less pleats on an air filter? Which flows more air? Which filters better?
 
In general, filtration and flow rate come from a combination of how many pleats there are and what kind of material the filter is made of.


Restrictive material + Lots of pleats = Good flow, good filtration

Restrictive material + Few pleats = Poor flow, good filtration

Un-restrictive material + Lots of pleats = Excellent flow, poor filtration

Un-restrictive material + Few pleats = Good flow, poor filtration
