PTFE Filter Housings

The PTFE housings are designed especially for use in high chemical resistance and low adsorption applications. They accept disposable fluorocarbon elements for coalescing and particulate service, and sintered PTFE elements for particulate filtration only. The housings come standard with Viton O-rings, however Kalrez is recommended for the best chemical resistance. A Pyrex glass bowl version is available which allows at-a-glance monitoring of the filtration process. The assemblies may be utilized in gaseous or liquid filtration by simply installing the appropriate element. PTFE elements are recommended for liquid service with an outside to inside flow pattern so that the integral support core provides added strength and element life can be visually monitored. Please keep in mind that the maximum pressure is 100 PSIG and the maximum temperature is 300°F regardless of O-ring material. We also offer exotics such as Monel, Hastelloy, Titanium and others which provide higher temperature and pressure ratings.
