Ceramic Filter: NuPure’s C3 Series Ceramic Gas Filters employ tube-type ceramic filter media that features 20% less surface area than competitors hexagonal multichannel media. As a result these filters demonstrate excellent out-gassing characteristics and extremely rapid gas displacement. The use of rigid ceramic media eliminates particle shedding during pressure or flow fluctuations. Three layer construction, each layer with successively smaller pores, provides 99.9999999% retention efficiency at removing particles down to .003µm in size, while maintaining good flow characteristics.

C2 Ceramic Filter: NuPure’s C2 Series Ceramic Gas filters utilize a new two-layer tube type ceramic media. The C2 combines exceptionally low pressure drop at high flows with a 99.99999% particle retention efficiency down to 0.003µm, making it especially suitable for high-flow applications.

SS All-Metal Filter: The SS Series Gas Filter features all 316L stainless steel construction. The all metal design of this filter allows for operation at temperatures as high as 450o C. This high performance gas filter combines excellent particle removal efficiency, low out-gassing and low pressure drop in an extremely compact design. Factory bake-out is standard.

All the above series are available with either MVCR fittings, Swagelok type, or Surface Mount interface - (per SEMI 2787.1, .2, .3, .4, .5). The Surface Mount configurations are available in both the 1.5" and 1.125" sizes. 


In today’s demanding semiconductor industry, there is a greater need for the removal of particles suspended in the gas phase to increase product yield and protect expensive tooling. In addition to the extensive gas purification product line, NuPure offers a broad selection of both Ceramic and Metal particle filters giving the semiconductor industry and process equipment manufacturers a total solution to the delivery of Ultra-Clean gases to the point-of-use.
