Description
The oil mist separator AKD 16 with DN 16 KF connection is a compact laboratory vacuum accessory intended to capture oil mist generated by rotary vane or similar oil-sealed pumps. Its KF flange interface of DN 16 size ensures quick, tool-free attachment to standard vacuum lines and pump exhaust ports commonly found in analytical and process laboratories. By retaining oil aerosols, the separator helps keep the surrounding workspace cleaner and reduces oil carry-over into downstream tubing or exhaust systems. Offered as a single-piece unit from manufacturer WELCH, the AKD 16 model integrates directly into existing vacuum assemblies without requiring special adapters. The device belongs to the broader group of laboratory materials used for vacuum system protection and maintenance. Its straightforward design supports routine installation on benchtop pumps serving filtration, evaporation or sample-preparation tasks. Regular use of an oil mist separator contributes to longer service intervals for vacuum pumps and improved laboratory air quality. The compact form factor of the AKD 16 makes it suitable for space-constrained setups while maintaining reliable separation performance under normal operating conditions.

Questions about Oil Mist Separator AKD 16, DN 16 KF
What is this article?
Oil Mist Separator AKD 16, DN 16 KF is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes WELCH for laboratory use. It sits in Hose connectors, adapters & fittings, inside Tubing, hoses & fittings, in Labware.
A hose connector or adapter joins two lines, or steps one bore down to another. The barb diameter has to match the tube, and the thread has to match the stopcock or the bottle. Most leaks are a mismatch here, not a hole in the tube.
Tubing is how a liquid or a gas moves between two vessels without being poured. Silicone stays flexible and survives repeated autoclaving. PTFE resists almost every solvent and is stiff. PVC is the ordinary flexible line for water and for mild aqueous work. The fitting, not the tube, is what usually leaks: the barb, the thread and the stopcock have to match the tube bore. Glass and plastic apparatus around these lines is indexed under ISO laboratory ware.
