Klein (309) 782-5051 NSN: 4240-01-363-1311, Part Number 5-19-7435, Purchase Description: EA-F-1284, Item: M48A1 Gas Particulate Filter, Anticipated quantity: 840 each. Chemical filter, 100 CFM radial configured filter set containing a particulate filter inside a gas filter. This filter is a component of Filter Systems providing positive pressure collective protection against Nuclear, Biological and Chemical (NBC) threats. This filter removes toxic gases and particles from contaminated air drawn from the environment and provide clean, breathable air to mobile and permanent shelters. The particulate filter utilizes a glass microfiber media per US Military specification MIL-F-51079 and/or ASME AG-1, Section FC, Appendix FC-1 to remove biological agents and chemical aerosols at an efficiency rate of 99.97% at .3 microns. Air initially passes through this media, which is pleated to increase the surface area, before moving to the gas filter element. The filters utilize high-grade ASZM-TEDA carbon to remove gaseous chemical agents not filtered by the particulate media. ASZM-TEDA also provides increased moisture tolerance and extended filter life. The gas filter contains no wheterlite carbon. As a life support items, this filter set has a stringent physical and chemical agent requirement. Construction of the gas filter requires experience in carbon filling. Only contractors having demonstrated success in manufacturing filters to such critical standards will be considered. The filters are packed in hermetically sealed shipping containers for transport and long term storage. The M48A1 filter set is a self-contained filter with both the gas and particulate filter elements housed in one canister. The inspection criteria may be based on a program equivalent to one of the commercially available systems, e.g., ISO/QS/ANSI/ASQ or a procedure approved by the procuring activity. The filter is comprised of two concentric compartments: The inner compartment is for particulate filtration and the outer one is for gas filtration.
