Product Overview

FA Series filters protect pressure regulators, meters and shutoff valves in gas reduction and metering stations, especially during commissioning of new pipeline sections. The axial flow body keeps pressure loss low and allows the element to be withdrawn from the top for cleaning or replacement.

Key Features

• Maximum allowable pressure up to 80 bar / 1305 psig for high pressure stations

• Standard cartridge rated 5 micron at 98% removal efficiency

• ANSI CL150, CL300 and CL600 flanged axial connections

• Standard service -10 to 100 C, low temperature version -20 to 100 C

• Optional blind cover, quick opening cover, drain valve and differential pressure tapping

Typical Applications

Inlet filtration ahead of first-stage regulators in city gate and district stations, protection of turbine and rotary meters, and filtration on new pipeline sections where construction debris is present.

Selection Guide

Choose the flange class from the station design pressure, then size the body on peak flow at the lowest expected inlet pressure; a dirty element raises pressure loss. Specify the low temperature version for climates below -10 C and add the drain valve where condensate is expected.
