The Hankison E9-16 Replacement Element is a high-performance grade 9 filter designed for critical moisture and particle removal in industrial air systems. This Hankison replacement filter utilizes a specialized two-stage filtration process to ensure downstream equipment remains free from contaminants. The first stage features dual stainless steel orifice tubes that provide 10-micron mechanical separation, while the second stage employs a high-efficiency 3 micron coalescer to capture remaining solids and liquid aerosols. Engineered for durability, the E9-16 includes corrosion-resistant inner and outer cores and a coated, closed-cell foam sleeve to prevent liquid re-entrainment. This compressed air filter element is rated for 35 SCFM and maintains a maximum residual oil content of 5 ppm w/w. It is fully compatible with HF9-16 series housings and serves as a direct cross-reference for part numbers HK-E9-16 and HKN-E9-16. Regular installation of this replacement element for EF9 prevents pipe scale and bulk liquids from damaging refrigerated dryers and sensitive pneumatic tools. Key Benefits: Dual-Stage Filtration: Combines 10-micron mechanical separation with 3-micron high-efficiency coalescing for superior air quality. Enhanced Durability: Features stainless steel orifice tubes and a rugged matrix-blended fiber media to withstand pressure differentials. Oil and Moisture Control: Effectively reduces liquid oil carryover to 5 ppm, protecting downstream desiccant and refrigerated dryers. Seamless Compatibility: Specifically designed to replace HK-E9-16 and HKN-E9-16 elements in Hankison EF9 and HF9-16 filter housings. High Temperature Resilience: Maintains structural integrity and filtration efficiency in operating environments up to 150°F (66°C). Common Questions: What is the micron rating for the E9-16 element? This grade 9 element provides 3-micron filtration for solid and liquid particles, following an initial 10-micron mechanical separation stage. When should I replace my Hankison grade 9 filter? Technicians recommend replacement when the pressure drop reaches 7-10 psid or during annual maintenance to ensure optimal 35 SCFM flow rates. Is the E9-16 compatible with HKN-E9-16? Yes, the E9-16 is technically identical to and interchangeable with HK-E9-16 and HKN-E9-16 part numbers.
