Abstract
A tubular membrane module for example for use in ultrafiltration has a tubular shell made of standard PVC pipe provided with moulded PVC end fittings that are secured to the pipe by epoxy resin adhesive. A membrane tube within the shell extends between the end fittings and is secured by a similar adhesive in respective sockets within the end fittings. Each socket has a blind end that receives the end portion of the membrane tube so that the tube is protected from shear effects due to fluid entering the tube under pressure in use.
