<p>CORE SPUN FILTRATION ROVING YARNS A low twist, high bulk filtration roving (4,15) is prepared by wrapping a sliver (6, 17) comprised of individual fibers, around a core (5, 16) in the conventional manner. Exemplary of the bulk fibers (6, 17) which may he employed are naturally occurring fibers such as jute, cotton, animal hair; synthetic polymer fibers, such as acrylic, nylon, polyester, olefin, aramid, TEFLONTM; manmade organic fibers deriving from natural sources such as rayon or cellulose acetate; and inorganic fibers such as metal, glass, graphite; or a blend of two or more of these fibers. Examples of the core (5, 12, 16), which can be continuous filaments, monofilaments or spun yarn, are one or more strands of the same composition as the fibers, or a combination thereof, twisted paper which can be plain, impregnated or metallized, and metal wire. Where the material is capable of being cast in film form, slit film may be employed as the strand(s). The composite roving (19) is wound upon a rigid perforated tubular center (22) to form a filter cartridge (18).</p> |
