Overview: The document from Parker Hannifin Corporation's Filtration and Separation Division provides comprehensive details on Finite® instrumentation and gas sampling filters. It covers filter types, specifications, and applications across industries such as food processing, chemical processing, and compressed natural gas.
Filter Selection Process: Guidance is provided on evaluating application requirements, determining the necessary filtration type (coalescing, particulate, or adsorber), and considering operating conditions like flow, pressure, and materials. Detailed product descriptions are available on pages 6-13.
Filter Types and Media: Finite® offers coalescing, particulate, and adsorption filters. Coalescing filters remove liquid contaminants, particulate filters remove solid particles, and adsorption filters remove hydrocarbon vapors. The document emphasizes high-quality materials and rigorous manufacturing processes.
Media Grades and Specifications: A chart details media grades, filtration efficiency, micron ratings, and pressure drops, with capture efficiencies up to 99.999% and micron ratings from .01 to 3 microns.
Product Specifications: Specifications for various filter models include port sizes, maximum pressure and temperature ratings, materials, and shipping weights. Ordering information for different configurations is also provided.
Applications: Filters are used in critical gas process applications, instrument quality air, and microcircuit applications, suitable for high corrosion resistance environments in industries like dairy and food processing.
