Molecular Sieve 5A Moisture Trap

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.

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]
