Abstract

A self-supporting tubular fibrous filter element consists of elongated fibers compacted in a direction parallel to the central axis of said tubular element to have a substantially constant density throughout the length and thickness of the tube with a majority of the fibers in parallel to one another in a circumferential direction about the said axis. When required, a perforated cylindrical support sheet is molded into at least one cylindrical face of the element.
