Miniature In-line Screens and Breathers for Particulate Control

Aug. 14, 2018
Miniature in-line screens and breathers help protect critical components from damage or reduced performance caused by clogging or reduced flow rates.

Miniature in-line screens and breathers help protect critical components from damage or reduced performance caused by clogging or reduced flow rates. Designed to augment the protection of critical components in fluid control systems, the fine screens are intended to prevent the occasional particles that enter fluid during installation or otherwise. They are ideal for use with precision orifices, pneumatic transducers, gas and liquid flow instruments, medical devices, filling and purging systems, pneumatic timers, transmitters, pneumatic transmission lines, hydraulic controls, leak test equipment, and flow measurement devices. Fine screen breathers provide an air passage into equipment, enclosures, and pneumatic controls while preventing the ingestion of solid particles. The wire screens prevent introducing loose particles into the fluid stream. Four levels of particle retention are available (10, 15, 25, and 100 µm) in either brass or 303 stainless steel housings. Miniature fine screen breathers are rated at 15, 25 or 100 µm and are available in either brass or stainless steel fittings. Connection sizes are 10-32, 1/8- or ¼-in. NPT. In all cases, the screen material is 304 stainless steel.
