Abstract
A filter for filtering particulate matter from liquids adapted to be received in a filter casing having a casing wall and an outlet is provided. The filter includes a filter element having a plurality of openings therein for filtering particulate matter while allowing liquids to pass therethrough, the filter element comprising a first section located proximate to the outlet and a second section adjacent to the first section. The filter element is receivable in the casing and is spaced apart therefrom such that the filter element and the casing wall define a space therebetween. A seal separates the first and second sections and prevents the flow of liquid therearound in the space. The seal is located below the outlet. A lower end member closes a lower end of the filter element, the lower end member preventing the flow of unfiltered liquid and particulate matter into the filter element.
