The Auto-Shok Tubular Filter is a classical tubular filter. The filter consists of a vertical vessel with tubes suspended from a tube sheet. The filtration is from the outside of the tube to the inside. The filtered liquid then flows up the inside of the tube through the openings in tube sheets into the top head. The top head area serves as a reservoir to filtered liquid.
