Compressed Air Filters Specifications

Filter Type


	Filter Type
	Your choices are...
	General Purpose		Particulate filter; designed for typical industrial use; filters solid and liquid contaminants in the micron range.
	Coalescing		Oil removal or coalescing filters filter oil droplets in the submicron range.
	Adsorbent		Instrument quality filter; uses adsorbent cartridge material such as activated carbon to reduce vapor to less than 1 ppm.
	Combination Filter		Multi-stage filter with two or more of the styles listed above.
	Other / Specialized Type		Unlisted or application-specific type of air filter.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Performance Specifications


	Filter Size Rating:		Size rating is the low end of the size range that is filtered or blocked by the filter. A 10μm (micron) filter, for instance, would block any particles or droplets 10 microns and above in diameter.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.

	Maximum Air Volume:		Maximum airflow rated to pass through filter.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	Maximum Inlet Pressure:		Maximum rated pressure for regulator supply.
	Search Logic:		All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.

	Operating Temperature:		Full required range of ambient operating temperature.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

Port Specification

	Your choices are...
	#10-32 NPT
	1/8" NPT
	1/4" NPT
	3/8" NPT
	1/2" NPT
	3/4" NPT
	1" NPT
	1½" NPT
	2" NPT
	UNC / UNF		Unlisted National Pipe Thread.
	British Standard Pipe Thread		Any size British Standard Pipe Thread.
	Metric Pipe Thread		Any Size Metric Pipe Thread.
	Other		Any unlisted or specialized port configuration.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Bowl Specifications


	Bowl Size:		Size of bowl where filter media resides. This is sometimes used as a very approximate gauge of filter capacity.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Bowl Drain:
	Your choices are...
	Manual		Drain is manually actuated; often via button or petcock.
	Automatic		Water / oil level is sensed and automatically drained at a preset level.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Bowl Material:		Note: Non-transparent bowls often carry higher pressure ratings and are typically furnished with a sight glass.
	Your choices are...
	Aluminum
	Polycarbonate
	Pyrex®
	Steel
	Steel - Stainless
	Zinc
	Other Material
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Features


	Service Life Indicator?		Gauge or other indicator showing filter use and remaining life. These often operate on reading the pressure drop across filter, but more sophisticated techniques are available.
	Search Logic:		"Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.

	Pressure Gauge?		Direct measure of operating pressure or pressure drop.
	Search Logic:		"Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.

	Integral Lubricator?		Attached lubricator for valve operation.
	Search Logic:		"Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.

	Corrosive Gases?		Filter material rated for caustic or corrosive media.
	Search Logic:		"Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
