Triple Cartridge Filter Performance
The RESTEK 22020 triple replacement cartridge supplied with the kit simultaneously removes oxygen, moisture, and hydrocarbons. The manufacturer specifies the following capacities:
| Contaminant |
Filter Capacity |
| Moisture (H₂O) |
1.8 g |
| Oxygen (O₂) |
75 mL |
| Hydrocarbons, as n-butane |
4 g |
| Outlet gas purity |
>99.9999% |
| Expected service life |
>1 year |
Actual filter service life depends on gas quality, flow rate, and contaminant load. The filter features a visible indicator for monitoring filter condition.
Connections & Compatibility
The standard fittings on the baseplate are designed for 1/8" tubing. For use with 1/4" tubing, suitable 1/8" to 1/4" reducers are required.
RESTEK also specifies that the replacement cartridges are compatible with cartridge-filter baseplates from various manufacturers. For certain Agilent or Varian baseplates, a universal retaining ring may be required.
