Abstract
A particulate trap assembly including a tourniquet shell for applying a predetermined radial pressure to a particulate trap which is mounted in an outer housing having wide manufacturing tolerances which do not effect the radial pressure applied to the trap by the tourniquet shell. A mounting strucuture is disclosed for replaceably monting the particulate trap in the outer housing in a manner providing substantially no obstruction to the full cross-sectional flow area of the gas flow path throughout the axial length of the particulate trap.
