Abstract
A filter assembly for collecting material that is entrained in a gas stream includes a housing for a tubular filter element. The housing has first and second ends with an inlet and an outlet at the first end for the gas that is to be filtered, and a support surface on its internal wall at a point towards its second end. The assembly includes a tubular filter element arranged within the housing for the gas stream to flow through its wall between the inlet and the outlet. The element is located in the housing by means of a support which extends between the filter element at or towards its end and the support surface on the internal side wall of the housing on which the support rests.
