Model 5848 In-Line Filter

Brooks® Model 5848 is a convenient in-line filter used to protect mass flow instruments from foreign matter. 

A sintered stainless steel filter element, mounted in a protective housing, can be easily removed for cleaning or replacement. Filtration ratings of 0.5, 2, 5, 10, and 40 micron are available. 

The Model 5848 filter is designed to be used with Brooks Models 5850, 5851 and 5860 mass flow meters and controllers. 

Both male and female ends are 9/16-18 threads (MS16142). The inlet connection fitting supplied with the mass flow instrument is removed, the filter is screwed into its place, and then the original fitting is attached to the female end of the filter. 

The Model 5848 filter adds only 2.0” to the installed length of the mass flow instrument, making for a compact assembly. The large area elements provide a maximum of filtration with a minimum pressure drop; replacement elements are available. 

This filter protects the mass flow device from contamination, preserving accuracy and providing peace of mind.
