Replacement Faudi 60.655 Series Separator Filter Element – Product Guide

Introduction

When fuel exits the coalescer stage of a filter/water separator system, it still carries fine water droplets that must be removed before the fuel reaches engines or critical equipment. The Faudi 60.655 series separator elements serve as this critical water barrier. Qualified to EI 1581 6th Edition Category C standards, these replacement cartridges are constructed with epoxy-coated steel inner tubes, glass fibre reinforced polyamide end caps stamped with date of manufacture and ID number, and NBR (Buna-N) end seals for leak-proof performance. Available in Teflon®-coated stainless steel mesh (reusable) or synthetic plastic mesh (disposable) configurations, they deliver reliable water separation across a wide range of operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the difference between the "D" and "P" suffix versions in the 60.655 series?

A: The "D" suffix indicates elements with Teflon®-coated stainless steel screen mesh, which can be cleaned, inspected, and reused during coalescer element changeouts. Small areas of damage can be temporarily repaired. The "P" suffix denotes synthetic plastic mesh elements designed for single-use disposable applications, which should be replaced during coalescer element changeouts.

Q2: What are the recommended storage conditions for these separator elements?

A: The manufacturer recommends storage at 20°C with maximum 50% humidity in original packaging. The maximum storage time is 60 months from the date of shipment out of stock.

Q3: Are these replacement elements compatible with existing Faudi 60.655 filter housings?

A: Yes, these replacement elements are engineered as drop-in equivalents for Faudi 60.655 series filter vessels. They feature identical dimensions—152mm (6-inch) outside diameter, 89mm (3-inch) inside diameter, and matched length specifications—along with the same end-cap configurations and NBR sealing geometry. No system modifications are required for installation.

Q4: What quality certifications do these separator elements meet?

A: The 60.655 series replacement elements are qualified to EI 1581 6th Edition, Category C standards for aviation fuel filtration. They are manufactured under ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certified quality management systems. Each element undergoes rigorous quality control and 100% pre-delivery testing for burst strength, structural integrity, and separation efficiency.
