The MIL-PRF-7-559 defines a high-reliability, military-specified coalescing filter element engineered for extreme-duty fluid and gas separation in aerospace and strategic systems. Operating on the principle of phase separation through coalescence, this component is designed to forcibly merge sub-micron liquid aerosols (such as entrained oil, water, or hydraulic fluid) within a gas or fluid stream into larger droplets that can be effectively drained or separated. Its core concept transcends standard industrial filtration; it is a mission-critical safeguarding device whose performance is rigorously validated to ensure the integrity of sensitive systems in environments characterized by high vibration, extreme pressure transients, and severe thermal cycling. Compliance with this specification certifies that the element is qualified for applications where failure is not an option.
Initial Bubble Point :
≥ 25 psid (1.7 bar)
Burst Pressure :

1. Product Concept
The MIL-PRF-7-559 Coalescing Filter Element is a mission-critical fluid conditioning component engineered to the highest military performance standards. Its fundamental purpose is to ensure the absolute purity of critical gases and fluids by forcibly separating and removing sub-micron liquid contaminants. Operating on the principle of mechanical coalescence, it is specifically designed to protect sensitive and high-value aerospace systems where any contamination can lead to catastrophic failure. More than just a filter, it is a validated safeguard whose design, materials, and performance are exhaustively tested and certified for the most extreme operational environments imaginable, including those with intense vibration, rapid pressure cycling, and severe thermal shocks. Compliance with this specification is a non-negotiable qualification for systems where reliability is paramount.
