ASME Code Design Housings on Demand!

Advanced Design and Manufacturing Technologies Allow
for Fabrication of Custom Units within the Standard
Production Cycle

Offering Superior Quality, Safety, Flexibility, and Economy!

Express Series®Filter Housings

Engineered For Safety, Flexibility, and Economy!

The result of CUNO’s unique Rapid Manufacturing System (RMS), a
combination of advanced computer aided design and computer assisted
manufacturing tools, the Express Series
want, when you want it! The Express Series (ES) industrial housings are
high quality ASME Code design housings available with various cartridge
diaphragms to accommodate double open end (DOE), single open end
(SOE), and Zeta Plus style filter cartridges. The filter housing, with outside
diameters from 8 to 36 inches, can contain from 3 to 120 DOE or SOE
cartridges of various heights, or up to 12 Zeta Plus cartridges, depending on
the diaphragm chosen. The vessel includes ASME Code stamp and
National Board certification to assure the customer that all materials and
fabrication procedures meet the most stringent requirements.

The standard housing is offered with 150 or 300 psi designs and can be
easily configured for specific system requirements. Options such as outlet
and cover lifting device location (not available on model ES08),
radiography, and surface finish can be added onto the base model to create
one of the most versatile filter vessels in the industry.

Housing Dimensions

The Express Series filter housing is designed and manufactured
using state-of-the-art techniques. By engineering flexibility in
design and exploiting advances in metal fabrication, CUNO is
able to offer a “custom” design in a “standard” product line - in
the same production cycle time as “off-the-shelf”product. Use
Figure 1 in conjunction with Table 2 to determine general
dimensions for a specific housing style. These measurements
can be used to determine over-all space requirements. For all
other uses, request a certified drawing.

Express Series®Filter Housing Ordering Guide

Advanced computer aided design and computer integrated manufacturing technologies ensure compliance with design standards
while allowing production of custom configurations in the standard manufacturing process. Each housing is identified by a
general model and unique serial number to allow use of both standard replacement parts, where possible, and specials where
required.

Please note that the housing configuration is dependent on cartridge style and that cartridge styles are not interchangeable. System
flow rates and pressure drops are dictated by the filter medium used. For assistance in system sizing, contact your local CUNO
Master Distributor or call CUNO Technical Sales.
