Velcon Filters, Inc. has tested and qualified a comprehensive range of products to meet the latest API/IP-1581 5th Edition Specification. The new categories for the new specification are:
CATEGORY C This category replaces the previous class A, B, & C of API/IP-1581 Third Edition. Velcon’s new coalescer cartridges that meet Category C requirements are our I-6xxC5 Series (the xx denotes nominal cartridge length). These new cartridges have been developed to provide better water removal performance in surfactant-laden fuels, and improved filtration efficiency combined with longer life. Category ‘C’ cartridges can be used at any point in the fuel distribution system - from refineries to into-plane fueling.
All of Velcon's Teflon Separator Cartridges are qualified for category C.
CATEGORY M This is a brand new category for military fuels, such as JP8 (similar to Jet A but containing anti-icing and other additives). Velcon’s coalescer products for this series are our I-6xxMM cartridges. The separators for this category are currently our SO-6xxV5, SO-6xxVA5, and SO-6xxPV5.
CATEGORY M100 This category is for military fuels such as JP8+100. The ‘+100’ additive allows fuels to run at higher operating temperatures and reduces maintenance for highperformance military jet engines. Velcon’s coalescer cartridges for the M100 Category are our I-6xxA4 Series. The Teflon Separators for M100 are currently our SO-6xxCM and SO-6xxGS (three-stage).
The 5th Edition also allows operators to incorporate a third stage water absorbing cartridge with each category.Velcon has currently qualified our CDF®-2xx Series monitor cartridges for Category M100.
Also new is the description of filter/separators as Type S-LD (for applications where low amounts of dirt are expected). To obtain your authorized Velcon API/IP 1581 5th Edition Similarity Date Report, please complete data sheet "Fast Fax" form.
