Bubble Separator Device

The Bubble Separator from Particle Measuring Systems is a welded PFA device that allows entrained bubbles in an ultrapure water (UPW) or process chemical sample to separate from the sample stream through buoyancy, prior to the sample entering the liquid particle counter.

The UPW or chemical sample 1) enters the middle of the bubble separator and 2) separates at the tee, with 3) the liquid sample exiting to the bottom port to the liquid particle counter and 4) the top stream containing the liquid plus separated gas (see figure below). This flow is regulated with a 1/4-inch PFA needle valve (not included), and is routed to an atmospheric drain or storage tank.
