Abstract: A multi-layer filter fabric includes a first layer that includes a first non-woven fabric and a second layer that includes a second non-woven fabric. Each layer may include multiple webs. The first and second layers have different median pores sizes and porosities, with the first layer having a larger median pore size and/or porosity than the second layer. The first and second layers may be separated by a scrim. The first and second layers are colored or have visible markings such that the first and second layers are readily distinguished from each other. The multi-layer filter fabric is arranged so that a fluid may enter the multi-layer filter fabric through the first layer and exit through the second layer.
