Datasheets
Download:The DFA filter assembly is a handy, easy-to-use and cost effective capsule filter designed for relatively low flow rates and small volume batch processes.
Flexibility in filter media and connector options allow for a wide range of general industry applications.
Features and Benefits
- Wide variety of media materials (PTFE, nylon 6,6, hydrophilic PVDF, HDPE, polypropylene)
- Broad range of connector options (Swagelok1, Pillarfitting2, NPT, flare style)
- All-polymeric construction
- O-ring free design
- Allows for easy customization of filtration systems to accommodate various flow rates and removal rating requirements
- Able to vent and drain quickly and easily
- Low hold-up volume

Caution: For optimal filtration performance, it is recommended to replace your filters at-least once a year. Annual replacements will reduce the potential of any leakages that may result due to prolonged chemical exposure. Pall warrants its filters for a period of 1 year from the date of shipment.
