VPG-A6 IN-LINE PROCESS
GAS FILTER
ULTRA-HIGH EFFICIENCY FILTRATION
DOWN TO 2nm AND BELOW
The industry-leading VPG-A6 Vapor Process Gas filter is an ultralow pressure drop, ultra-high efficiency in-line filter designed for vapor and process gas filtration. This patent-protected 316L SS filter is chemical- and thermally- resistant and provides up to 99.9999999999% (twelve 9s) of efficiency 2.5nm – an estimated particle penetration of less than one part per trillion (ppt). The extremely low-pressure drop of this filter makes it easier to work in ultra-low pressure environments and reduces the risk of gas-phase reactions occurring in the filter.
Conventional high-purity, point-of-use gas filters are used in a compressed gas line for particle removal. The VPG-A6 filter is also used downstream of a vaporizer under vacuum flow conditions to prevent particles, which could potentially be in the gas/vapor mixture, from entering the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) or Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) process chamber. Due to its unique design, the VPG-A6 filter has more thermal mass than competitive offerings, making it particularly well suited for use downstream of a vaporizer in a heated line – acting as almost a second-stage heat exchanger.

VPG-A6 Pressure Drop vs Flow Rate
Industry Leading, Patent-protected Design
Cross-flow construction and short fiber 316L stainless steel media provide
ultra-high efficiency with ultra-low pressure drop. Solid core provides more
thermal mass for better performance downstream of a vaporizer.
