What component is used to prevent long, thin particles from passing through a pneumatic line?

• A. Install a sintered bronze filter
• B. Increase line diameter
• C. Remove the filter
• D. Decrease pressure

Answer: (B)

Filtration is what stops debris and particles from entering sensitive pneumatic components. A sintered bronze filter provides a porous metal barrier that traps particles as air flows through, catching long, thin contaminants while still letting air pass. Increasing line diameter won’t remove those particles; it changes flow path but not filtration. Removing the filter would let contaminants through, and lowering pressure doesn’t clean the air. So the best way to prevent those particles from passing is to install a sintered bronze filter.
