TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
! Protection of Compressors
! Protection of Gas Turbines - To avoid corrosion, erosion, impact, and adhesion of solids to the equipment internal
components
! Treatment of gas for instrumentation
! Pressure Reduction Stations (PRS) - To protect the station, measurement and control equipment, besides assuring
gas quality to the end user
! In Drying Columns and Molecular Sieves - To protect desiccants and sieve beds from solid contaminants generated
in compressors
! Efficient in removing black powder (oxides and sulfides) in piping (Particles > 20 m).

FILTERING ELEMENTS
The Gascat basket type filter separators use standardized filtering
elements, built in metallic stainless steel mesh and externally
reinforced with a perforated stainless steel foil that provides excellent
mechanical resistance to the basket. Optionally, the baskets can be
built with the mesh in synthetic material.
A great advantage of the baskets is that the same can be cleaned and
reused.
Gascat basket type filtering elements have nominal 20mm filtration
degree and can be supplied flat or pleated, according to specific
applications.
BUILDING CHARACTERISTICS
• Designed and built according to ASME VIII Div I
• Building materials according to ASTM
• Pressure classes #150, #300 & #600 pounds (other values under request)
• Flanged connections ANSI B16.5 - 1" to 12" inches (other values under request)
• Quick open and close (QOC)
• Compact construction and simple operation
• Filters do not require special maintenance tools
• Filter operation from inside to outside of the element, therefore facilitating filtering action and element cleaning
• Baskets of standardized dimensions and immediate replacement
• 100% hydrostatically tested
• Standard mouthpieces orientation is in-line or 180º (other assemblies configurations under request)
• Painted and identified according to Gascat STD.

NotEs
1- Drain and pressure gauge connections are tapped for NPT 3000 #, optionally can be flanged.
2- Flanges for 150# filters are SORF type, but for 300#, 600#, and 900# classes are WNRF.
3- Longitudinal and circumferential welds are PL inspected for the 150# class, for other classes they are Xray and/or US
inspected.
4- Optionally additional tests can be performed.
5- GASCAT filters are supplied packed in cardboard boxes or in wood crates.
6- Optionally can also be supplied differential pressure gauge meters, differential pressure switch, pressure transmitters,
level transmitters, level viewfinder, and automatic purge drains.
