What is a Pressure Fluid Filter Unit?

A Pressure Fluid Filter Unit (FILTER UNIT,FLUID,PRESSURE) is a machine designed to remove foreign particles and/or impurities from a fluid which is passed through an element of porous material or thin closely spaced disks. It includes a source of power and a circulating pump for forcing the fluid through the system under pressure.

What is an Oil Separator?

An Oil Separator (SEPARATOR,OIL) is an enclosed tank or vessel specifically designed to remove harmful solids, insoluble sludge and water by the force of gravity from continuous flow of contaminated oil. Exclude settling tanks.

What is a Liquid Fuel Filter-Separator?

A Liquid Fuel Filter-Separator (FILTER-SEPARATOR,LIQUID FUEL) is an item designed to remove water and solid particulates from contaminated liquid fuels. It consists primarily of a tank with a removable head or a pressure vessel containing electrodes and inlet connections, filtering elements, and may contain water accumulator sump(s), alternating electric fields, necessary flow controls, gages, and accessories. It is used in military aircraft and vehicular fueling and in military pipeline systems. Excludes SEPARATOR, WATER, LIQUID FUEL; and FILTER-SEPARATOR, LIQUID FUEL, TRAILER MOUNTED.

What is a Fluid Filter Cover?

A Fluid Filter Cover (COVER,FLUID FILTER) is a rigid item of various shapes designed as a component of a fluid filter, acting as the cover and retaining the filter element in place. The item does not have an inlet or outlet connection. It is fastened onto the FILTER BODY, FLUID by means of clamps or bolts. For items with inlet and/or outlet connections, see HEAD, FLUID FILTER.

What is a Fluid Filter Body?

A Fluid Filter Body (FILTER BODY,FLUID) is a component of a FILTER, FLUID designed to contain the FILTER ELEMENT, FLUID and attach to the HEAD, FLUID FILTER or the COVER, ACCESS. It may have inlet and/or outlet connections, means for mounting a drain plug(s), check, relief and or by-pass valves. Excludes BOWL, SEDIMENT.See also STRAINER BODY, SEDIMENT.

What is a Fluid Pressure Filter Parts Kit?

A Fluid Pressure Filter Parts Kit (PARTS KIT,FLUID PRESSURE FILTER) is a parts kit used in servicing a FILTER, FLUID PRESSURE. It may contain such items as filter element(s), gasket(s), washer(s), preformed packing, bleeder valve(s), drain cock(s), and the like.

What is a Fluid Filter?

A Fluid Filter (FILTER,FLUID) is a filter having inlet and outlet connections and designed to be connected in a pipe, tube or hose line. For spin-on, base-mounted filtering devices with integral outer casings, see FILTER ELEMENT, FLUID. Excludes AIR CONDITIONER.

What is a Fluid Filter Assembly?

A Fluid Filter Assembly (FILTER ASSEMBLY,FLUID) is two or more FILTER, FLUID on a common mounting or mounted on each other. They may be separable and operate in series, parallel, or individually.

What is a Fluid Filter Element?

A Fluid Filter Element (FILTER ELEMENT,FLUID) is a replaceable device designed to remove solid particles from fluids ranging in density from heavy liquids to gases. The removal of particles is accomplished by porous material (metallic or non-metallic), stacked disks, wound wire, or the like, constructed so the fluid can flow through the device while the solid particles are retained. It may be designed to fit into a FILTER, FLUID (or similar cavity), or it may have an integral outer casing and mounting facilities and be designed to connect directly to an engine, compressor, or the like. The degree of removal of particles must be nominally rated at less than 50 microns or absolutely rated at less than 75 microns. Excludes FILTER ELEMENT, AIR CONDITIONING. See also STRAINER ELEMENT, SEDIMENT.

What is a Filter Mounting Bracket?

A Filter Mounting Bracket (BRACKET,FILTER MOUNTING) is a rigid item of various shapes designed to aligin or restain filters or filtering elements used in fluid/air purification systems.

What is a Fluid Filtering Disk?

A Fluid Filtering Disk (FILTERING DISK,FLUID) is a flat, circular, replaceable device, with or without a centrally located hole, designed to remove solid particles from fluids ranging in density from heavy liquids to gases. The removal of particles is accomplished by porous, fibrous or shredded material (metallic or non-metallic) which retains the solid particles in the fluid passing through it. It may be encased and used as a single item or stacked to form a fluid filter element. Excludes DISK, SOLID, PLAIN; DIAPHRAGM (as modified); STRAINER ELEMENT, SEDIMENT; and WIRE FABRIC.

NATO Supply Class 4330 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 43, which is dedicated to Pumps And Compressors.

Specifically, NATO Supply Class 4330 focuses on Centrifugals, Separators, And Pressure And Vacuum Filters.

Centrifugals are machines that use centrifugal force to separate substances of different densities, typically used for liquid-solid separation. They are commonly used in industries such as wastewater treatment, oil and gas, and food processing.

Separators are devices used to separate different components of a mixture, such as liquids and solids or liquids of different densities. They are often used in industries such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and oil refining.

Pressure and Vacuum Filters are equipment used to separate solids from liquids or gases by applying pressure or creating a vacuum. They are commonly used in industries such as mining, chemical processing, and water treatment.

In summary, NATO Supply Class 4330 includes equipment such as centrifugals, separators, and pressure and vacuum filters, which are essential for various applications in industries related to pumps and compressors.
