HX Series High Efficiency Compressed Air Filters
02 16 Why Filter Compressed Air? Product rejects and increased maintenance expenses can occur due to poor air quality S ubmicronic contaminants in compressed air systems plug orifices of sensitive pneumatic instrumentation, wear out seals, erode system components, reduce the absorptive capacity of desiccant air/gas dehydrators, foul heat transfer surfaces, reduce air tool efficiency, and damage finished products.
Clean, energy efficient compressed air is the goal The key is finding the optimum balance of compressed air quality required, and minimizing the cost and energy needed to achieve that quality. ISO 8573-1:2010 is now the industry standard for specifying compressed air cleanliness. In this standard, three very common contaminants are focused on, and the various classes describe how clean and dry the compressed air must be in order to achieve that classification.
04 16 New Finite HX-Series Filtration Technology Our new HX-Series product line possesses many important design and construction features that combine to provide leading compressed air filtration performance. Improved flow characteristics result in lower pressure differential, which is related to the ongoing operating cost of employing high-efficiency nanofiber coalescing filters.
Inlet Port Indicators and Differential Sensing Port Plugs Vertical hash marks are utilized on the top and bottom of the inlet connection port. This feature eliminates any confusion as to which port is the inlet. Although a differential pressure gauge is standard on all larger HX-Series housings, they are also available with threaded and plugged differential sensing ports which can be utilized to connect to remote or standardized monitoring equipment at your facility, or on your mobile equipment.
06 16 Applications Compressed air, sometimes referred to as industry’s fourth utility, has a number of favorable aspects to its use. It is safe, light-weight, dependable, and because it is generated on site, the user has a great deal of control over the compressed air pressure available and its quality. Applications for compressed air are numerous and range from very simple to highly critical.

08 16 Step 1. Determine your application, media grade and media type. Choose media type from the descriptions below, from the basic application circuits on the previous page, or consult a Finite application engineer. Decide the media grade from the bottom of the following page. If your application requires a coalescing element, use the information listed below. For other media types, please see the following page.
Water Separator Element (removal of bulk liquids) Interceptor Element Adsorption Element (removal of solids) (removal of odor) Media type WS Media type 3P Media type A Air Flow: Inside to Outside Air Flow: Inside to Outside Air Flow: Inside to Outside This rolled stainless steel mesh element has ID and OD metal retainers with rolled stainless steel mesh in between. It is an extremely robust design.
16 Step 2. Determine your housing Find your desired flow rate under the appropriate media grade column. For pressures other than 100 PSIG or temperatures other than 70°F, please see Alternate Housing Selection Chart, Step 2a, below. Housing Selection Chart Rated Flows: SCFM @ 100 PSIG; These flowrates can be exceeded by 10% and will still meet filtration efficiencies. For other pressures, please see Step 2a below.
Example: (100 PSIG + 14.7 PSIG) 136 SCFM (150 PSIG + 14.7 PSIG) (100°F + 460°F) X 70°F + 460°F Step 3. Accessories X 1 = 100 SCFM Manual Drain DP Gauge Consult Finite when choosing pre-installed accessories for gases other than air. Pre-installed Accessories 1 Information Given: Flow Rate = 136 SCFM Pressure = 150 PSIG Actual Temperature = 100°F Gas = Air Auto Drain Note: Auto drains require a minimum operating pressure of 10 PSIG to seal.

Our UNI-CAST nanofiber filters, formed with a unique vacuum process, combine surface (edge) filtration with enhanced depth filtration. UNI-CAST pore construction traps larger poreclogging particles on the surface while allowing access to the element‘s internal fiber matrix for coalescing and submicronic particulate removal. The result is lower pressure drop and less frequent change-outs saving you time and money.
