Which port is which on the SM106 series PTFE-membrane housing? We are often asked to clarify about how the ports on our PTFE-membrane housings are connected so we thought it would be a good idea to highlight this on the blog. The SM106 (and SM206) series housings have four ports and these are numbered 1…
We are often asked about our comparable products to Genie® Filters and always listen to customer needs for alternatives. So what do you need this month? It seems there is a demand for an alternative to the Genie Filters® Model 101 and so we now offer our GSM105 series PTFE-membrane housings. They provide a simple and compact…
As part of our company ethos, we like to listen to our customers to gauge feedback on our current products. And as a result of the customer review, we found that some of you had a requirement for a small series 200 bar PTFE membrane housing to be added to our product range. We looked…
We are happy to announce that one of the products we have been asked for on a number of occasions, a PTFE-membrane housing for aggressive or demanding environments, is now part of our continued product list. We do manufacture the standard SM106 and SM125 housing in PTFE but in most cases the customer just wants…
A question that has been asked a lot is when using a membrane as a filter to stop moisture passing, should the membrane be supported on one side or on both? The first thing to look at is the membrane itself. What is a membrane filter? The membrane is a very thin film of hydrophobic PTFE which means…
Do you need a Liquid Block option? One of the problems with a PTFE membrane is if it sees too much water, it will eventually breach and allow moisture through to the analyser or piece of equipment being protected. For this reason we always suggest that the membrane only be used as a police filter…
Two new PTFE membranes are being introduced – the M3 and M4 oleophobic grades. Based on our proven hydrophobic PTFE membranes the new grades are actually hydrophobic and oleophobic. This means their use will prevent both water and oil carry-over giving further protection to analysers. Want to test them in your sampling system? Let us…
One of our OEM customers successfully uses the SML206.221.M8 PTFE Membrane Housing to remove water from a diesel sample system prior to an on-line analyser. Recently a new application required a larger flow rate at lower pressure so we designed a new sized housing for them. The SML304 series uses a larger 89mm diameter PTFE…
