Shroud-Deflector Filter Housings
A simple and effective method for prefiltering sample streams with high particulate content is the use of a shroud-deflector tube surrounding the outer wall of the filter element. This permanent shroud redirects the incoming flow, causing heavier debris to settle at the base of the housing.

Description
A simple and effective method for prefiltering sample streams with high particulate content is the use of a shroud-deflector tube surrounding the outer wall of the filter element. This permanent shroud redirects the incoming flow, causing heavier debris to settle at the base of the housing. This option is available for all T-Type style housings, regardless of material.
Performance Recommendations:
- Use a five-layer stainless steel filter element with the smallest micron rating that meets flow requirements.
- Employing the finest practical micron size prolongs element life by preventing larger particles from embedding in the filter wall; instead, these particles settle to the bottom of the bowl.
The design minimizes annular volume to increase velocity turbulence, while maintaining the lower one-third of the element exposed for direct flow. A secondary polishing filter is recommended downstream to capture any residual material.
Ordering Information:
To specify this option, add the term “Shroud” to any of our T-Type filter model numbers.

| Description | A simple and effective method for prefiltering sample streams with high particulate content is the use of a shroud-deflector tube surrounding the outer wall of the filter element. This permanent shroud redirects the incoming flow, causing heavier debris to settle at the base of the housing. | Designed for gas analysis, emissions monitoring, CEMS, and sample process filtration, these low-pressure stainless steel housings are ideal for applications requiring continuous monitoring. | Four standard sizes are available, based on our Pyrex and stainless steel filter assembly design. | The 170 Series offers a compact and versatile solution for modern sample conditioning systems. Designed for inverted (upside-down) or horizontal installation, all connections—including inlet, outlet, drain, and bypass—are located in the head, allowing element servicing without breaking any connections. | Our 150VP and 160VP series of ultra high-pressure 316L stainless steel filter housings deliver exceptional performance and value in the most demanding applications. | The 110 and 120 Series Filter Housings are designed for use with both gaseous and liquid sample process analyzers. Their compact configuration, low internal volume, and positive O-ring sealing mechanism provide reliable performance in demanding analyzer applications. All wetted components are constructed from 316L stainless steel and are weld-free to ensure compliance with NACE MR-01-75 standards. |
