Barbed in-line filters protect sensitive devices from system contamination in a pneumatic or liquid circuit. Filters are a flat stainless steel weave meant for small devices or for larger systems working in tandem with system-wide filtration. There is no flow orientation to the in-line filters, the filtered area and canister volume are equal on both sides of the filter. Air Logic's barbed in-line filters are low profile, lightweight and fit into the tightest design envelopes.

Additional Information
Barbed connections are a clean, time tested and cost efficient method of connection. The hoop strength of the tube holds around the barbed fitting. Air Logic's first barb is free of a parting line to create a good seal, additional barbs increase holding force for tube retention. Barbed connections are free of lubrication or thread sealant used in other styles of connection. Simply push the tube over the barb and the connection is complete.
Barbed in-line filters are commonly used to protect against debris generated inside of a system or device. Ex. Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape debris during assembly, broken O-rings from valves, machining chips from threads.
