Gas filter separator filter cartridge with keys and/or baffle

A filter cartridge, configured for use with a basket comprising a ring mount including a solid tubular portion, a perforated cylindrical tube, and a basket cap that includes a central mounting post supporting a lock projection that extends internally toward the ring mount, the lock projection having a lock surface, and the ring mount and the basket cap are secured to opposing ends of the perforated cylindrical tube, the filter cartridge comprising:

• a tubular ring of a filter media surrounding a central cavity, the tubular ring extending around a central axis between an inlet end and an outlet end;
• an inlet end cap secured to the inlet end, the inlet end cap defining a flow opening entering into the central cavity,
• an outlet end cap secured to the outlet end of the tubular ring, the outlet end cap including a cover portion closing the central cavity at the outlet end;
• a radial seal carried by the inlet end cap;
• a socket provided by the outlet end cap, the socket extending inwardly toward the inlet end cap;
• wherein the filter element is configured such that:
• (a) the radial seal is arranged and configured for radially outward sealing against the ring portion;
• (b) the socket is arranged and configured for receiving the lock projection;
• and
• (c) an outer surface of the tubular ring of the filter media is arranged and configured to be facing an inner periphery of the perforated cylindrical tube.
