.~> Multiple members serially spaced in flow conduit
DEFINITION
Classification: 55/307
(under the class definition) Apparatus comprising a separator means positioned at least in part within a confined system fluid path, there being an unobstructed space between it and the side wall of the flow path as supported therein and being further comprised of a member or material having (1) multiple openings, pores or passages (2) massed discrete filter particles, or (3) a single opening therethrough.
(1) Note. A unit is any member or assemblage of members adapted to be handled as a subassembly when being associated with a conduit.
SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:
309, for open separator bypass means provided by discontinuous separator members placed at the terminus of the flow line or there beyond and not relying upon valves or other movable flow controlling means.
422, for movably mounted or supported media adjustable to various positions of use or to nonuse.
445+, for members which are either perforated and coextensive with the flow path wall or solid and spaced from the wall, so that the mixture has only one path to follow, either around or through the member.
