Filter element.

摘要

A filter element constructed entirely of components fabricated from fluoropolymers including a filter media (12) constructed of a non-thermoplastic fluorocarbon resin material. The filter element includes a core member (10) over which there is disposed a filter media (12), the end edges of which are melt flow bonded to a pair of end caps (18,20). An outer protective sleeve (24) may be incorporated to protect the filter media (12) from potential damage. The filter media (21) includes a fluorocarbon resin membrane (14) and one or more screens (15,16) which may or may not be laminated together.
