Norgren 5µm Replacement Filter for F17 Series – IMI NORGREN Coalescing

Description

Product Overview

The Norgren 5µm Replacement Filter Element is engineered specifically for the F17 series of compressed air systems, offering a high‑efficiency coalescing solution that captures oil droplets, aerosols, and moisture particles as small as five microns. Constructed from premium‑grade stainless steel mesh and a robust polymeric media, the element provides a durable barrier that resists corrosion, high pressure, and temperature fluctuations common in industrial environments. Its compact cylindrical design fits seamlessly into existing filter housings, minimizing downtime during installation or replacement. The element meets ISO 8573‑1 Class 0‑0‑0 standards, ensuring that the air downstream is virtually free of contaminants, which in turn protects pneumatic tools, valves, and sensitive instrumentation.

Key specifications include a filtration efficiency of 99.9% for particles down to 5 µm, a maximum operating pressure of 150 psi, and a service life of up to 2,000 operating hours under typical industrial load conditions. The filter element is compatible with both oil‑free and lightly oiled compressors, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications, from manufacturing plants to automotive workshops. Its low pressure drop design helps maintain system efficiency, reducing energy consumption and operational costs.

Usage

This filter element excels in environments where air purity is paramount. It is ideal for use in assembly lines that rely on pneumatic actuators, CNC machines that demand clean air for cooling and lubrication, and food‑processing facilities where contamination control is critical. The element also performs well in automotive paint shops, where moisture and oil removal prevent surface defects and improve paint adhesion. Its robust construction allows it to withstand harsh conditions such as high humidity, dust‑laden atmospheres, and occasional exposure to chemical vapors.

Installation is straightforward: simply open the filter housing, remove the old element, insert the new Norgren filter, and reseal the housing. The element’s universal fit means it can be used across multiple models within the F17 series without the need for additional adapters or modifications. Routine maintenance involves checking the pressure differential gauge and replacing the element when the recommended service interval is reached, ensuring continuous protection of downstream equipment.
