SC Series Full 316 Stainless Steel FR.L Units

Features & Key Specifications

Features & Key Specifications of Our Full Stainless Steel FR.Ls:

Complete 316 Stainless Steel Construction:

This is not just a stainless bowl—it's a full stainless steel unit. The main bodies of the filter, regulator, and lubricator, as well as the bowls, are all constructed from SS316, providing total protection against corrosion.

High-Pressure Operation (0-1.6 MPa):

Designed for demanding industrial systems, this FR.L unit operates reliably across a wide pressure range, from zero pressure up to a maximum of 1.6 MPa (16 bar / 232 PSI).

Unmatched Durability for Harsh Environments:

The solid stainless steel construction makes this unit highly resistant to both chemical attack and physical impact, ensuring maximum safety and reliability in demanding applications.

Complete 3-Stage Air Treatment:

This integrated unit combines three essential functions:

Filter: Removes particulates (25μm standard, 5μm optional) and moisture.

Regulator: Provides stable, adjustable output pressure.

Lubricator: Injects a fine oil mist for downstream components.

Designed for Sanitary & Washdown Applications:

The full stainless steel design is perfect for food grade and hygienic applications. It can be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized without risk of degradation or rust.

Global Thread Compatibility:

To meet worldwide requirements, we offer three standard thread types: NPT for North America, BSPP (G), and BSPT (P), in sizes from 1/4" to 1".

Application Fields

The Ultimate Air Preparation Solution for Extreme Environments:

Food & Beverage Processing: The ideal FR.L for direct installation in high-washdown processing and packaging zones.

Pharmaceutical & Biotech: A robust and cleanable solution for air preparation in sanitary and sterile environments.

Chemical Plants: Offering total resistance to corrosive fumes and chemical splash.

Marine & Offshore: The definitive choice for onboard and shoreside applications with constant exposure to saltwater spray.

Oil & Gas: A durable and safe option for point-of-use air treatment in corrosive environments.

Technical & Selection Guide

Why Choose a Full Stainless Steel FR.L?

Total Corrosion Resistance: While some FR.Ls offer a stainless bowl, their aluminum bodies are still vulnerable. A full SS316 unit ensures every component withstands the harsh environment.

Maximum Strength & Safety: A solid stainless steel body offers the highest level of resistance to accidental impact and over-pressurization.

Hygienic Superiority: For the strictest food grade or pharmaceutical standards, a full stainless steel body and components are often required for complete compliance.

FAQ

Frequently Asked questions

Q: What is the maximum pressure this FR.L can handle?

A: The maximum working pressure for the SC series is 1.6 MPa, which is equivalent to 16 bar or approximately 232 PSI, making it suitable for high-pressure industrial air systems.

Q: Are all the metal parts really 316 stainless steel?

A: Yes. The "Full Stainless Steel" designation means the main bodies of the filter, regulator, and lubricator, as well as the bowls, are all constructed from 316 stainless steel.

Q: Do I need the lubricator (L) part?

A: Only if your downstream equipment specifically requires oil lubrication. If you only need filtration and regulation in a harsh environment, our SW Series (Full Stainless Steel Filter-Regulator) is the right choice.

Q: What kind of oil should I use in the lubricator?

A: We recommend a dedicated pneumatic system oil, specifically Turbine Oil ISO VG32, for optimal performance.
