Transparent bowl guard


 Better environmental resistance:
Transparent bowl guard can protect the inner bowl!
Windows on the bowl guard have been removed and the inner bowl is instead covered with a
polycarbonate transparent bowl guard. Now, even if the environment changes and the bowl is
exposed to corrosive chemical or oil splash, the foreign matter will not stick directly to the
pressurised bowl. This can reduce risk of bowl breakage.

Caution
1. When releasing air at the intermediate position using a T-spacer on

the inlet side of the lubricator, lubricant may backflow. Therefore,


releasing air that does not contain traces of lubricant is not possible.
To release air that does not contain traces of lubricant, use a check
valve (AKM series) on the inlet side of the lubricator to prevent a
backflow of the lubricant.
AW

2. If a pressure relief 3-port valve is mounted on the inlet side of the


lubricator, causing a backflow of air, it can result in a backflow of oil
or damage to internal parts. Do not use it in this manner.
3. An F.R.L. unit shipped from the plant has its model number la-
beled. However, components that are combined together during

Compressed Air Purity Classes
Compressed air is used in a variety of manufacturing processes. In this age, compressed air with a high
degree of purity is becoming increasingly necessary.
For this reason, it is necessary to remove contaminants from systems which supply compressed air and to
secure the quality. The standard which stipulates the class according to the quantities of contaminants in
compressed air is ISO 8573-1.

[Outline] [Terms and Definitions]


Stipulates the purity class of contaminants (particles, · Purity class: An index assigned for each classification
water, oil) mixed in with the compressed air obtained by dividing the concentration of
each contaminant into ranges

[How to Perform a Test to Check the Performance]


ISO 12500, which sets out the test method to be used in order to check the filter performance for each of the three kinds of
contaminants, is indicated below.

The class indicates the compressed air purity according to ISO 8573-1:2010 (JIS B 8392-1:2012) and indicates the maximum purity class which can be
