New LE5 Model – High Throughput, Easy Maintenance, Suitable for Oxygen 2" Gas Filter for the Most Demanding Requirements
With the new LE5 gas filter, WITT is expanding its portfolio of inline gas filters with another high-performance model. The 2" filter is designed for oxygen in accordance with EIGA, AIGA, and CGA standards, and reliably removes mechanical impurities and condensate from pipelines. As a result, downstream equipment is protected, process performance is improved, and maintenance costs are minimized.
Maximum Performance with Minimal Pressure Loss
With a filter fineness of 15 µm and low pressure loss, the LE5 impresses even in demanding applications. Despite its compact size, this new gas filter is one of the most powerful in its class. Its flow-optimised design enables very high flow rates, for example, 760 Nm³/h of O₂ at 30 bar inlet pressure with only 50 mbar pressure loss.
In addition, the WITT filter reliably meets the maximum flow rate requirements for oxygen set by the European Industrial Gases Association (EIGA), the Asia Industrial Gases Association (AIGA), and the Compressed Gas Association (CGA)– making it a crucial safety component in oxygen lines. These leading international organizations define globally applicable guidelines and safety standards for the safe handling of technical gases.
Even in industrial applications using high-quality gas, fine particles, abrasion, and condensate can still be present. Effective separation by the LE5 gas filter extends the service life and maintenance intervals of downstream equipment, while significantly reducing operating and downtime costs.
Easy Maintenance Thanks to Clever Design
Its compact design allows for straightforward installation. The LE5 is engineered so that filter elements can be replaced without removing the unit from the line, and condensate can be easily drained via an integrated condensate drain. This significantly reduces downtime while saving time and money.
Suitable for Oxygen – Compatible with Many Technical Gases
The LE5 features a bronze filter insert and is available with a brass or stainless steel housing. It can be used with a wide range of technical gases, including oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, argon, helium, compressed air, carbon dioxide, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, and others.
The maximum operating pressure is 16–40 bar depending on the type of gas. In addition to 2" female threads, flange connections are also available on request.
Ideal in Combination with Dome Pressure Regulators
The LE5 reaches its full potential when used in combination with a WITT 757LE/S dome pressure regulator set. The gas filter provides optimal protection for the regulator against contamination, ensuring maximum control stability and a long, reliable service life.
Tested Safety
Each LE5 is carefully inspected prior to delivery. The filter is CE-marked in accordance with the Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU and is designed for oxygen service in accordance with EIGA 13/20, CGA G 4.4, and AIGA 021/20 (Oxygen Pipeline and Piping Systems).
