A liquid surface height inside a tank is allowed to be confirmed while blow-back of a liquid is reduced. A strainer body having a substantially bottomed tubular shape has a substantially D shape when viewed in a longitudinal direction. A bottom surface of the strainer body has a shape in which a part of a conical shape is cut away, and a top of the substantially conical shape overlaps with a notched portion notched to form the substantially D shape. The bottom surface protrudes toward an opening of the strainer body. A rod is provided adjacent to the notched portion of the strainer body, and a float is provided on a lower end of the rod.

A filter element, for use filtering liquids such as fuel, includes a first section of filter media, an optional layer of coalescer media, and a section of barrier media. The first section and optional coalescer filter media are held between opposite first and second end caps. The second end cap is integrated with the barrier filter media. The barrier media extends at least part way into an interior of the first section and can be conical in shape.

A filter is provided for filtering dirty water. The filter has an inlet opening for the dirty water, which inlet opening is at the top during normal use of the filter, and a filter element, by which the water passing through the filter is filtered. The filter element is designed to retain microplastic particles or microplastic fibers having diameters or lengths of 200 m and the filter has a holding structure, by which the filter can be fastened to the upper edge of a bucket corresponding thereto in the dimensions of the bucket, in such a way that the filter, hanging on the outside of the bucket, can be used as a pouring filter for filtering the dirty water running out of the bucket when the bucket is tipped.

Filter devices with a flow director surrounded by a filter element providing a large filter surface area and low fluid volumes for efficient filtration and high recovery of sample fluids. The filter device can be configured with dimensions and sealing surfaces to functionally interact as a pre-filter for common usage disposable filter flasks.

Provided are a nucleic acid extraction and purification device and a biochemical molecule extraction and purification device, belonging to the field of experimental supplies. Both devices have the functionality of a test tube, and thus can hold a liquid to perform preprocessing extraction and purification of nucleic acids or biochemical molecules such as nucleic acids, i.e. achieving a process of cell rupture. Furthermore, both devices can quickly and easily transfer liquid to the extraction membrane, achieving the extraction and purification of nucleic acids or biochemical molecules such as nucleic acids. Furthermore, the two devices do not need to manually fit with a pipettor during the process of liquid transfer or use an automated robotic arm and a mechanical pipettor to complete the process of liquid transfer.

The present invention relates to a conical filter used to filter storm water being directed into a catch basin and to filter water being pumped from a sediment pond.

A gravity-fed filtration apparatus includes a filter housing having a water inlet near an upper portion of the filter housing and a water outlet near a lower portion of the filter housing. A water filter having a plurality of discs is removably stacked within an interior cavity of the filter housing between the water inlet and the water outlet. An outer perimeter portion of each of the plurality of discs sealingly engages with an inner surface of the filter housing. A first disc of the plurality of discs comprises a first plurality of diffusers and a disinfectant media. A second disc of the plurality of discs comprises a mesh. The lower portion of the filter housing is configured to be disposed in the mouth of a water vessel.

A particle separating system for supplying a cam shaft phase adjuster with cleaned lubricating oil. The phase adjuster includes a stator, a rotor connectable to a cam shaft, and a control valve for hydraulically adjusting the rotational angular position of the rotor relative to the stator. The particle separating system includes an oil separator arranged in the flow of the lubricating oil, upstream of an oil gallery of an engine supplied with the lubricating oil, exhibiting a separation efficiency of at least 50% for particles having a size P1 and a separation efficiency of at least 90% at a size P2>P1; a particle separator arranged downstream of the oil separator and upstream of the phase adjuster or control valve, to clean the lubricating oil for the phase adjuster. The particle separator exhibits a separation efficiency of 50% at a size P3, where P1<P3<100 m.

A thread-based filter having a thread-based medium including multiple threads and a tube, the tube at least partially housing the thread-based medium with the threads oriented lengthwise along the length of the tube and the thread-based medium is configured to trap impurities present in a fluid flowing substantially lengthwise along the threads during a filtration mode, and the thread-based medium is configured to release impurities into a fluid flowing substantially lengthwise along the threads during a washing mode.

A filter system for filtering fluid has a filter housing with inlet socket and outlet socket for fluid. A central tube with radially open region over a portion of its axial length is arranged in the filter housing in flow communication with the outlet socket in an operating state. Within the central tube, a secondary element is arranged slidably between first and second operating positions. A filter element, separating a raw fluid side from a clean fluid side, has a filter bellows with a first end plate at a first end face and a second end plate at a second end face. The end plates have central openings for receiving the central tube in the filter element interior. In the first operating position, the secondary element opens a fluid path through the radially open region of the central tube and closes the fluid path in the second operating position.
