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 Sediment Bowl?

A Sediment Bowl (BOWL,SEDIMENT) is a removable concave vessel designed as a component part of a carburetor, cam-actuated fuel pump, sediment strainer, water separator, and the like for collecting the sediment from a fluid. The item may have a pressure relief valve, drain plug, or drain valve. Excludes: Bowl (as modified); FILTER BODY, FLUID; AND STRAINER BODY, SEDIMENT.

What is an Air Filter Parts Kit?

An Air Filter Parts Kit (PARTS KIT,AIR FILTER) is a collection of items used to repair/replace air filters. May include mounting hardware. Excludes PARTS KIT (1),BRAKE CHAMBER.

What is an Exhaust-Intake Pneumatic Muffler?

An Exhaust-Intake Pneumatic Muffler (PNEUMATIC MUFFLER,EXHAUST-INTAKE) is a noise control/filtering device of various sizes, shapes, designs, materials (metallic/non-metallic) and varied mounting configurations used to diffuse air blasts, lowers air velocity, reduce noise, filtration of airborne moisture and/or dust contamination, pressure equalization, speed control for air operated devices. For vehicular application see MUFFLER, (as modified).

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 Particulate Removal Fluid Filter?

A Particulate Removal Fluid Filter (FILTER,FLUID,PARTICULATE REMOVAL) is an item designed to remove foreign particles from a fluid by means of an element made of porous material or thin closely spaced disks. Do not use if a more specific name applies.

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.

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.
