2.1 Stages of Purification
* Optional - Sterilising Grade: consult Parker for operational use.
2.2 Technical Specification
This specification is valid when the equipment is located, installed, operated, and maintained as specified within this user guide.
Stated flow rates are at 24.1 bar g (350 psi g).
*Systems are installed in duplex / parallel to double the flow rate.
All systems are supplied as NPT with stainless steel adapters 'NPT to BSP' as standard.
