General description

Molecular Sieve 5A efficiently removes moisture and heavy hydrocarbons from compressed air, electrolytically produced hydrogen, house nitrogen, or other gases with high moisture or hydrocarbon content.Dimensions: 200 cc Trap: 26 1/4 in. (67 cm) long × 1 in. (2.5 cm) diameter 750 cc Trap: 18 in. (45.7 cm) long × 2 3/8 in. (6 cm) diameter S-Trap: 7 1/2 in. (19 cm) long x 5 9/16 in. (14.1 cm) wide x 1/2 in. (13 mm) diameter [total bed length: 19 3/4 in. (50.2 cm); the extended bed length ensures prolonged contact between the gas and the adsorbent and provides greater working capacity]

Moisture trap or drying tube is suitable to maintain anhydrous conditions within the apparatus. There are two types of drying tubes. It is usually prepared by placing a small, loose plug of glass wool or cotton into the constriction at the end of the tube. A drying agent is poured on top the plug. Molecular sieve 5A has the affinity for water and easily displaces other trapped gases.
