Velcon FO-436G Compatible Natural Gas Filter Cartridge

The FO-436G compatible natural gas filter element is designed for the removal of solid particles, liquid contaminants, and moisture from natural gas and other hydrocarbon gas streams.

With a 4-1/2 inch outside diameter and 35.75 inch overall length, this filter cartridge features a multi-layer graded fiberglass filtration structure combined with a resin-impregnated cellulose barrier layer and a heavy-duty aluminized steel center tube.

It is designed as a high-performance replacement for widely used natural gas filter cartridges in gas transmission, gas processing, pipeline filtration, metering stations, compressor stations, and fuel gas systems.

The element provides high particulate removal efficiency, effective liquid separation, strong mechanical resistance, and reliable sealing performance for demanding natural gas filtration applications.

• The FO-436G and FO-472G have been designed for installations where superior performance features are desired over those offered by standard cartridges.

• High Collapse Strength: In lab tests, the FO-472G averaged > 100 psid collapse strength vs. 34 psid for a leading competitive cartridge.

• Improved Filtration Efficiency: Multiple layers of fiberglass in graduated fiber diameters assure maximum efficiency by distributing collected particles evenly throughout the filter body. The fine fiberglass inner wrap assists in gross water removal.

• Positive Media Migration Barrier: An inner wrap of cellulose filtration material provides a positive media migration barrier.

• Improved Handling Characteristics: An outer wrap of resin coated fiberglass screen retains cartridge shape and density through its useful life, protects against handling damage, and reduces the exterior dirt accumulation typical of fuzzy cotton or dacron stockinette coverings.

• Steel End Caps: Aluminized steel provides corrosion resistance while plastisol adhesive assures complete bonding of filter media to end caps.

• Buna Gaskets: Seal tightly to mounting stool and top seal plate.
