Wright-Austin Type T Gas Liquid Separators
Enhanced efficiency for industrial applications
Wright-Austin Type T gas/liquid separators are engineered to remove entrained droplets and particles larger than 10 microns with up to 99% efficiency.
The Type T design uses a vertically oriented cylindrical body with inlet and outlet ports 180° apart, giving it a “T” shape. Flow is redirected inside the vessel using three separation principles:
- Change in velocity
- Torturous path
- Centrifugal force
T-Family Variants
Wright-Austin offers four related designs with increasing liquid-handling capacity:
- Type T — removes liquid equivalent to ~40% of maximum rated weight flow
- Type TS — elongated body, ~60% capacity (better for occasional liquid slugs)
- Type R — receiver style, ~90% capacity (heaviest liquid loads)
- Type ST — integral float drain trap
Cast Iron Type T Separators
Cast iron Type T separators are ideal for steam and compressed air applications. They remove 99% of droplets >10 microns, require no maintenance, and offer decades of service life.
Custom Fabricated Type T Separators
For specialized applications, custom fabricated units are available in carbon steel, stainless steel or other alloys. They are built to ASME Code standards, require zero maintenance, and can be fully customized.
