摘要:
Apparatus and methods are disclosed whereby elongate preformed thermoplastic elements are friction-welded coaxially in an end-to-end manner so that the core elements are joined integrally to one another. Most preferably, the elongate elements are perforated tubular elements formed of a thermoplastic material which are employed as core elements in the production of cylindrical melt-blown filter cartridges. As such, the integrally joined core elements can be rotated and traversed as a unit relative to a melt-blowing die during the continuous production of indefinite length cylindrical melt-blown filter cartridges.

Highly asymmetric polymeric membranes with large pores which yield bubble points in the range of 0.5 to 25 psid and superior flow characteristics. The membranes can be cast from both metastable dispersions and from homogenous casting formulations. The technique of synthesis involves exposure of the cast membrane to humid air to create large surface pores on the exposed side.
摘要:
Filtration medium is formed of a mass of nonwoven melt blown support and filtration fibers which are integrally co-located with one another. The support fibers have, on average, relatively larger diameters as compared to the filtration fibers which are integrally co-located therewith. Preferably, the filtration medium is disposed within at least one annular zone of a filtration element, for example, a disposable cylindrical filter cartridge having an axially elongate central hollow passageway which is surrounded by the filtration media. A depth filter cartridge in accordance with the present invention may thus be formed having one or more additional filtration zones (which additional filtration zones may or may not respectively be provided with integrally co-located support fibers) in annular relationship to one another. As a result of the melt blown, nonwoven fiber structure in accordance with the present invention whereby at least one filtration zone is comprised of relatively larger diameter support fibers integrally co-located with relatively smaller diameter filtration fibers, a filter cartridge having a wide range of "engineered" physical properties (e.g., in terms of filtration, pressure drop tolerance and the like) can be provided.

摘要:
In critical filtration applications, filter cartridges are employed to replace ion exchange resin precoat filters to minimize the waste produced. The filter cartridges are backwashed with all gas and the liquid in the filter housing provides an active scouring effect as a result of the high levels of turbulence produced. The liquid, with entrained debris from the filter is minimized in volume.
摘要:
A precoat septum in the form of a winding onto a core of textured yarn produced of continuous filaments of an organic or inorganic material. The yarn is texturized by air blowing a plurality of said filaments utilizing an air jet, and drawing off the filaments at a speed which is lower than the speed at which they enter the jet so that the resulting yarn is characterized by the filaments having a plurality of random entangled loops.

Cut resistant, abrasion resistant and electrically conductive yarns (1) are formed in torque-free form from stainless steel and other metallic yarns (2) served with or formed into composite twists with non-metallic yarns and fibers (4) and (5). The metallic yarn (2) is made up of at least about 60 ends, and up to as many as about 300 ends, of metal fibers (3) having a diameter of from about 2 to about 25 .mu.m. The absence of torque permits facile knitting into protective garments, such as cut resistant, abrasion resistant and/or electrically conductive gloves (10), or yarns which are as much as 85 to 90% by weight metallic fiber. When knit into gloves, added protection may be provided from puncture injuries if the palm (12), finger stalls (14) and thumb stall (16) are coated or impregnated with an elastomer or the like.
摘要:
A rotary diverter valve for use in diverting fluid wherein the fluid port intersections between the valve body and rotary element are all at a flat planar interface to provide a flat, zero clearance, metal to metal contact. Live bolting is provided to adjust the contact pressure through a spherical bearing arrangement as will tolerate axial misalignment due to nonparallel loading to eliminate any need for critical torquing and widen manufacturing tolerances and reduce costs. When utilizing a replaceable transition plate between the rotary element and the valve body, wear on costly components is eliminated, and the valve is easy to maintain and repair.
摘要:
Highly asymmetric polyethersulfone membranes prepared from a stable, clear, homogeneous solution or stable colloidal dispersion of polyethersulfone are described. The membranes have a porous skin possessing a high density of skin pores with an average diameter of from about 0.001 micron to about 20 microns. In addition, the membrane has a porous support with an asymmetric region of gradually increasing pore diameters so that the opposite face of the membrane has an average pore diameter that is from about 50 to about 10,000 times the diameter of the skin pores.
