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. | PTFE filter housings are engineered specifically for applications requiring exceptional chemical resistance and minimal adsorption. These housings support a range of filter elements for both gaseous and liquid filtration. | In applications where space is limited and maintenance is critical, our Inverted (IVT) housings provide an ideal solution. All line connections—including inlet, outlet, and drain ports—are in the head of the unit. | Our Gas and Liquid Process Filters protect equipment from sample impurities by removing solids and liquids with up to 99.999% efficiency at 0.01 micron. This series is also suitable for liquid sample process applications when used with pleated liquid elements or stainless steel elements, achieving efficiencies as fine as 1 micron in liquids. | In-line Filter Housings are designed specifically for particulate removal in systems requiring extended service intervals. These housings are not intended for coalescing applications and are not compatible with adsorption cartridges. | Guardian Membranes are also available with integrated coalescing pre-filters. A 50C-grade element is positioned upstream of the membrane to effectively remove the majority of liquids and particulates, thereby extending membrane life. |
