Engineering summary from PDF text extraction for Hytrex RX. Verify every value with the OEM datasheet.
Summary
Product identification
The Hytrex* RX is a melt-blown depth filter engineered specifically for oil and gas applications. It combines efficiency, long life, and strength, and features a continuous manufacturing process for consistent and reliable performance. It is constructed from pure polypropylene, providing wide chemical compatibility, and traps particles throughout the filter's depth.
Typical Applications
- Oil and gas industry
- Hydrocarbon applications
Operating limits
- Maximum pressure drop: 35 psid (2.4 bar) @ 77°F (25°C)
- Recommended change-out pressure drop: 20 psid (1.4 bar) @ 77°F (25°C)
Mechanical / hydraulic
- Ratings (nominal): 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, 75 microns
- Dimensions:
- Inner Diameter (nominal): 1 in (2.5 cm)
- Outer Diameter: 2.75 in (7.0 cm)
- Lengths: 36 in (91 cm)
- Longer lengths up to 70 in may be available upon request.
- Materials of Construction:
- Filter Media: Polypropylene
- Adapters: Polypropylene
- Elastomer: EPDM, Silicone, Santoprene (flat gasket only)
- Flow Rate: Clean water flow rate data based on a 10 in length filter is presented in a graph in the official PDF.
Certifications
- U.S. FDA 21CFR 177 food contact requirements
- U.S. FDA 21CFR 174.5 food contact requirements
- NSF 61 criteria
- ISO 9001 criteria
Efficiency Information
The Hytrex RX filters are available in nominal ratings of 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 50, and 75 microns. Removal efficiency data, based on a modified ASTM 795 test procedure, is available in the official PDF. Nominal-rated filters have a wider distribution of pore sizes and rejected particle sizes compared to absolute-rated filters (which reject at least 99% of particles of the listed micron size). Efficiency is dependent on particle shape, size, composition, application, and testing protocol.
Ordering Information
The ordering code structure allows selection of product type, nominal micron rating, cartridge length, and adapter type.
- Type: RX
- Micron Rating (nominal):
- 01 = 1 µm
- 03 = 3 µm
- 05 = 5 µm
- 10 = 10 µm
- 20 = 20 µm
- 30 = 30 µm
- 50 = 50 µm
- 75 = 75 µm
- Cartridge Length:
- 336 = 36 in (91 cm)
- Longer lengths up to 70 in may be available upon request.
- End #1 Adapter:
- X = Standard Plain End (no gasket)
- K = Self Seal Spring
- End #2 Adapter: Not available (implies only one adapter type selection for the ends)
- Elastomer Material: Not listed as an ordering option in the provided table.
Bulk packaging is available by adding "-B" to the ordering code.
