How to Specify VCR Gasket Filter

Fitting size: Matches 1/4 in or 1/2 in face-seal glands.
Rating: 0.5–5 µm sintered media; finer ratings cost flow.
Gasket material: SS316L for general gases, nickel for corrosive or high-purity service.

Materials

Standard supply is stainless steel 316/316L; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.

Fitting & Care

Use each gasket filter once — the gasket bead deforms when the fitting is made up.
Install in clean conditions, with gloves, and helium leak-test the joint.

Common Mistakes

Re-using a gasket filter, which leaks.
Choosing a 0.5 µm filter where flow is critical.

When VCR Gasket Filter Is Not the Right Choice

Not designed for high dirt loads; inline filter housings take more contamination.
