Description

Medium-Pressure In-Line Spin-On Filters FPE UFI Series: Versatility and Protection

The FPE series by UFI Filters offers an efficient solution for delivery filtration (“Inline spin-on filter”) in hydraulic systems operating at medium pressures. These filters combine the practicality of a screw-on cartridge with robust materials, making them ideal for protecting system components from solid contamination.

Construction Features and Materials

The structure of FPE filters is designed to ensure strength and light weight:

  • Head: Made of aluminum alloy.
  • Spin-On Cartridge: Made of steel to withstand operational stresses.
  • Bypass Valve: Integrated and made of polyamide, set at 170 kPa (1.7 bar) ±10% to ensure flow continuity.
  • Seals: Standard NBR Nitrile, with optional FKM Fluoroelastomer on request.
  • Indicator Housing: Made of brass.

FormulaUFI Filter Elements

The series uses filter elements from the ESE family, available with different media technologies to meet specific cleanliness requirements:

  • FormulaUFI.MICRON (FA, FB, FC, FD): Inorganic glass microfiber with filtration ratings from 5 to 21 µm (ß > 1,000).
  • FormulaUFI.CELL (CC, CD): Impregnated cellulose rated at 10 µm and 25 µm (ß > 2). The element is designed to withstand a differential collapse pressure of 400 kPa (4 bar).

Performance and Technical Specifications

The FPE UFI delivery air filter covers a wide range of applications:

  • Operating Pressure: Max 1.2 MPa (12 bar).
  • Maximum Flow Rate (Qmax): Up to 300 l/min.
  • Operating Temperature: From -25°C to +110°C.
  • Special Configuration: FPE3+ and FPE4+ models use dual-element cartridges, increasing dirt-holding capacity.

Connections and Accessories

The range offers installation flexibility with BSP threaded connections (from 3/4″ to 1″1/2) or SAE 3000 psi flanged connections. Filters can be equipped with clogging indicators (pressure gauges or pressure switches) for continuous monitoring.
