FO-656A3 | Prefilter EI 1590 Qualified

FO-656A3 | EI 1590 Qualified Microfilters

Long-lasting, High Capacity & Efficient Performance. Up to Three Times Greater Solids Capacity

• Primarily designed to be used as prefilter (micronic) cartridges for use in jet fuel handling systems.
• Used to extend the life of coalescer cartridges in filter/separator vessels described in EI 1581

DESCRIPTION
Parker FO-656A3 has qualified cellulose and microfiberglass media filter cartridges to EI Specification 1590, “Specifications and Qualification Procedures for Aviation Fuel Microfilters.”
– UP TO THREE TIMES GREATER SOLIDS CAPACITY than regular pleated paper cartridges
– Large Surface Area – Allows high flow rate with low initial pressure drop and maximum contaminant holding capacity.
– Resin Impregnated Microglass Media – Maintains strength, resists effects of water and heat.
– 75 psi Collapse Strength – Heavy gauge aluminized steel center tube and injection molded end caps give safety margin against pressure surges.
– Aluminized Steel Components – Resist corrosion from most industrial fluids.
– Buna-N Gaskets – The best general gasket material available assures positive seal in most fluids.
– Urethane Bonding Material – Endcaps urethane-bonded to media to prevent internal bypassing
– 98%+ Filtration Efficiency
– Threaded Base also available

SPECIFICATIONS
– 75 psi Collapse strength
– 1, 2, 3 & 5 micron efficiency (per EI 1590)
– 5 – 9 Operating pH range
– 250°F (121°C) Maximum operating temperature

APPLICATIONS
Parker Velcon FO-656A3 pleated media cartridges are suitable for a broad range of polar and non-polar fluids.
Recommended for applications where the contaminant is granular & hard, allowing maximum utilization of the high surface area and depth media.
