Analyser sample line: a functional alternative for a plastic filter housing

A system integrator needed 30 compact filters for natural-gas analysers. We proposed a nylon housing with a coalescing element as a functional alternative – and listed openly what still has to be checked.

RF-H-730N – Analyser sample line: a functional alternative for a plastic filter housing
Operating data
Application
Natural-gas analyser sample line
Pressure
−5 to +5 psig
Flow
0–10 L/min
Connection
1/4″ NPT
Quantity
30 filters

Starting point

An integrator of analyser systems was looking for a replacement for an existing plastic coalescing filter in natural-gas sample lines. Pressure is close to atmospheric, flows are small, and space in the analyser cabinet is limited.

Task

Offer a compact filter with the same connection size and coalescing function, and make clear which installation details must be verified before ordering.

How we sized it

  1. 1

    Match the operating window

    RF-H-730N is a nylon housing with 1/4″ NPT, rated 7 bar and 50 °C – well above the sample-line conditions.

  2. 2

    Coalescing element

    RF-C-12057-HE (12 × 57 mm) removes liquid aerosol before it reaches the analyser.

  3. 3

    Check the space

    Height 125 mm, head width 40 mm, plus about 60 mm clearance below for removing the bowl.

Coalescing element for liquid aerosol.

Product details

Limits & open points

  • Functional alternative – installation dimensions are confirmed on request.
  • Drain thread and suitability for the vacuum part of the range (−5 psig) are clarified before ordering.

Result

A compact, ready-to-quote alternative with transparent open points, so the integrator can verify the fit before rolling it out to 30 analysers.
