FOR FILTERING SMALL QUANTITES OF LIQUIDS OR GASES:

The porous membrane in the snubber provides a surface upon which droplets of oil or moisture suspended in a gaseous phase may coalesce. Hence it is possible to remove small quantities of such liquids. When the snubber is used as a filter particles ⅓ the pore diameter, or smaller, are effectively removed. Information concerning pore size and permeability can be supplied on request. 

FOR METERING:

Many types of instruments and machines require that a certain amount of liquid or gas be constantly bled. Here the pressure snubber replaces capillary tubing which is much more cumbersome, harder to control and shows a greater tendency toward pluging. Throughput rates may be supplied in an infinite variety. 

FOR MERCURY - TYPE INSTRUMENTS:

The snubber dampens pulsations and surges and also confines mercury in the tube. Mercury will not penetrate the Grade HX snubber at pressures under 25psi. Finer grades of snubbers will confine the mercury at higher pressures.

NOTE: The snubber may be effectively adapted for use with systems containing high concentrations of suspended solids by filling the bourdon tube of the gage with glycerin, light viscosity oil or nonmiscible fluid and capping the Pressure Instrument connection with a snubber.
