A SEPARATOR FOR A CATALYTIC CONVERTER

摘要

A separator (11) for a catalytic converter (19). The separator (11) comprises an outer wire mesh sleeve (12) and a wire mesh insert (13) located within the outer sleeve (12). Opposite ends of the sleeve (12) are joined to each other to form an annulus. The outer sleeve (12) is flattened around the insert (13) to form a separator portion (14) on the internal side wall of the annulus with the insert (13) located wholly within the separator portion (14). The separator portion (14) defines the separation provided by the separator (11).
