  • F501 Series: Coalescing filters for oil removal, featuring a 0.3-micron filter rating and designed for high flow applications.
Operation: The filtration process involves a two-stage system where air enters through an inlet port, causing a swirling action that separates liquids and particles. The air then passes through a filter element for further purification.
Ordering Information: The catalog provides detailed ordering codes for each product, specifying options such as port size, bowl type, and filter element.
Safety and Maintenance: Regular maintenance is recommended to ensure optimal performance. The document advises draining collected liquids and particles to prevent reentrainment into the air stream.
Materials of Construction: The components of the filters and regulators are primarily made from 316 stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. The filter element is made from borosilicate fiber, and seals are made from fluorocarbon.
Technical Information: The coalescing filters are designed to remove 99.97% of sub-micron particles from the air stream. Contaminated air passes through a borosilicate glass fiber membrane, where particles and liquid aerosols are removed. The clean air is then released into the pneumatic system. Regular draining of collected liquids is necessary to prevent re-entrainment.
Flow Characteristics: The document provides flow characteristics for different models, indicating pressure drop against flow rate for various primary pressures. This information is crucial for selecting the appropriate filter or regulator based on system requirements.
Features: The filters and regulators are designed to handle corrosive environments and meet NACE specifications MR-01-75/ISO 15156. They offer high flow capacity and precise regulation, with options for manual or automatic drainage.
Specifications: The filters have a bowl capacity of 4.0 ounces and a filter rating of 0.01 micron. Pressure and temperature ratings vary depending on the type of drain and model, with maximum pressures ranging from 175 to 300 PSIG and temperature ranges from 0°F to 180°F.
Ordering Information: The document includes detailed ordering information for various models, specifying port sizes, types, and additional options like sight gauges and drain types.
Operation: The operation of the regulators involves adjusting the knob to control spring load, which in turn regulates the diaphragm and valve poppet assembly to maintain desired pressure levels. Excess pressure is vented in relieving type regulators.
Materials of Construction: The document specifies that the adjustment mechanism, springs, body, bonnet, tee handle, bottom plug, and poppet are made of 316 stainless steel, while the seals are made of fluorocarbon. The bonnet/knob for the R10 model is made of acetal.
Regulator Kits & Accessories: The document lists various kits and accessories for R10 and R11 regulators, including bonnet kits, gauges, panel mount brackets, pipe nipples, service kits, and springs with different pressure ranges.
Specifications: The gauge port is specified as 1/8 inch. The document provides detailed technical information on the operation of the regulator, explaining how the adjusting knob and control spring work together to regulate pressure.
Operation: The operation section describes the process of adjusting the knob to control the spring load, which in turn affects the diaphragm and valve poppet assembly, allowing for precise regulation of downstream pressure. It also explains the relieving function for excess pressure.
Features: The document highlights features such as stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance, a large diaphragm to valve area ratio for precise regulation, and high flow capacity. It also mentions compliance with NACE specifications and the availability of a low-temperature version.
Ordering Information: The document provides ordering information for different series and models, specifying adjustment types, port sizes, and material options. It includes warnings about product rupture risks and advises against connecting regulators to bottled gas or exceeding maximum pressure ratings.
Flow Characteristics: The document includes flow characteristics for different models, showing pressure drop versus flow rate in both PSIG and bar units.
Pressure & Temperature Ratings: The document specifies maximum pressure ratings and temperature ranges for different models, emphasizing the need for dry air to prevent ice formation at low temperatures.
Specifications and Materials: The document outlines the materials used in various components such as Acetal for the knob, 316 Stainless Steel for the bonnet, tee handle, bottom plug, and poppet, and Fluorocarbon for seals. The sight gauge is made of Isoplast. The regulator kits and accessories include bonnet kits, drain kits, filter element kits, gauges, panel mount brackets, and service kits, with specific part numbers provided for each.
Operation and Technical Information: The operation section describes the mechanism of the regulator, detailing how the adjusting knob or tee handle applies pressure to the control spring, affecting the diaphragm and valve poppet assembly. The document explains the two-stage filtration process and how pressure adjustments are made. It also notes the importance of using dry air to prevent ice formation in low-temperature applications.
Features and Dimensions: The L10 series features stainless steel construction suitable for corrosive environments, with a high flow rate of 100 SCFM. The document provides dimensions for the L10 lubricator and specifies the materials used, including 316 Stainless Steel for the body, bowl, dip tube, drain, and fill plug.
