Fit of IFP CRT Cartridges with Filter Housings
The choice of cartridge end cap significantly impacts sealing performance, pressure rating, and fluid distribution. The 226 O-Ring Fin (Code 7) is the most secure and widely used in critical applications, while DOE (Code 0) remains an older technology; its use is limited mainly to non-sterile processes.
End Cap Type | Housing Connection | Details |
226 O-Ring Fin (Code 7) Most Popular - Highest Pressure Rating | Recessed 226 O-ring groove with locking tabs and center receptor for fin | Offers the most secure fit with dual O-ring compression and bayonet locking tabs. The integrated fin aligns the cartridge, enhancing pressure stability and promoting even solution distribution. |
222 O-Ring Flat (Code 2) | Recessed 222 O-ring groove with flat bottom | The housing head features a precision-machined cavity to fit the 222 O-ring, ensuring tight axial compression. Uses a flat receptacle-no locking tabs. |
226 O-Ring Flat (Code 6) | Recessed 226 O-ring groove with flat bottom | Features a wider, deeper groove for 226 O-rings. Provides enhanced sealing over 222 but lacks bayonet lock or fin alignment. |
Flat Gasket (Code 0) Least Popular - Lowest Pressure Rating | Flat knife-edge or gasket seat at both ends | Cartridge is held by compression plates or spring caps. No O-rings or locking tabs-best for low-pressure, general-purpose filtration. |
