Temporary Filters Common Specifications & Working Principle

Jul 7, 2023

Temporary filter is installed on the pipeline to remove the larger impurities in the fluid, so that machinery and equipment (including compressors, pumps, etc.), and instruments can work and operate normally, stabilize the process, and ensure safe production.

Working principle: When the fluid enters the temporary filter, the impurities are blocked and the clean fluid flows out of the outlet; when cleaning is needed, simply remove the temporary filter and install it after cleaning. The characteristics of the temporary filter are mainly used before the operation of the pipeline, installed between the two flanges of the pipeline. They are easy to operate, reliable, convenient, and widely applicable.
