Summary

Product identification

  • 3M™ Liqui-Cel™ SP-1x3 Series Membrane Contactor

Membrane Characteristics

  • Cartridge Configuration: No Baffle Radial Flow
  • Membrane Type:
    • UP: Recommended for low surface tension liquids that are water-based.
    • UP II: Recommended for low surface tension fluids with aggressive formulations.
  • Membrane/Potting Material: Polyolefin / Polyethylene
  • Typical Membrane Surface Area: 294 cm²
  • Priming Volume (approximate):
    • Shellside: 15 ml

Operating limits

  • Liquid Flow Guidelines: 15 - 60 ml/min (Liquid must flow on the shellside)
  • Maximum Shellside LIQUID Working Temperature/Pressure:
    • 5-25°C, 3.1 barg (41-77°F, 45 psig)
    • 40°C, 1.0 barg (104°F, 15 psig)
  • Note: Liquid pressure should always exceed gas pressure.

Mechanical / hydraulic

  • Housing Material: Black Polyethylene
  • Connections:
    • Shellside (Liquid Inlet/Outlet): 1/4 inch NPT Male, Standard Female Luer Lock
    • Lumenside (vacuum): 1/8 inch NPT Male, Standard Female Luer Lock
  • Weight (approximate):
    • Dry: 28 grams
    • Water-filled: 43 grams
  • Nominal Dimensions: The document includes a diagram showing nominal dimensions such as 35 mm (1.4 in) x 35 mm (1.4 in) and lengths of 80 mm (3.2 in) and 70 mm (2.8 in). Refer to the official PDF for detailed housing drawings.

Regulatory

  • Complies with the limits as set by RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU Annex II; recasting 2002/95/EC.
  • Constructed of FDA CFR title 21 compliant materials for wetted parts only at ambient temperatures.

Performance Graphs

The document includes graphs illustrating Oxygen Removal and Pressure Drop versus Water Flow Rate for both UP and UP II membrane types. See the official PDF for exact tabulated values and graphical representations.
