14th July 1997

Strategic Alliance with Unit Instruments 
 
 
           EAST HILLS, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 11, 1997--Pall 
Corporation (NYSE: PLL) and Unit Instruments, Inc.  (Nasdaq: UNII) 
today announced a strategic alliance to develop a unique mass flow 
controller ("MFC") that incorporates Pall's revolutionary PPT 
purifier into a single component for the gas delivery systems 
utilized by semiconductor manufacturers.  

           The Pall PPT Purifier reduces the moisture content of process 
gases down to previously unattainable levels of parts per trillion.  
By designing an MFC that incorporates the PPT into a single 
component, and within the same "footprint"  of conventional MFCs, 
this will allow semiconductor manufacturers to achieve enhanced 
purification without redesigning existing gas delivery systems.  
Elimination of moisture contamination is a critical element in 
semiconductor yield and will become even more important as process 
tools migrate to 300 mm platforms and 0.18 micron geometries that 
will enable the manufacture of more advanced devices.  

           With thousands of MFCs used within a single semiconductor plant, 
the worldwide market potential for this new component is estimated at
$15 million per year.  This revolutionary new product is expected to 
be available to the semiconductor market within the next 12 months.  

           Pall products are firmly established within semiconductor 
filtration applications and, more recently, the treatment of waste 
water.  This agreement strengthens Pall's ability to provide an 
integrated, full service approach to the semiconductor market, 
allowing customers to rely on one supplier to support all their 
filtration and purification needs.  

           Pall Corporation is the international leader in the design, 
manufacture and marketing of fine disposable filters, membranes and 
other fluid clarification and separation devices for the Health 
Care, Aeropower and Fluid Processing markets.  The Company's shares 
are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (PLL) and the London Stock 
Exchange (0668260).  

           Unit Instruments, Inc.  is a leading manufacturer of mass flow 
controllers, ultra high purity gas isolation boxes and ultraclean gas
panels that are critical to the semiconductor manufacturing process.
The company maintains support and service centers throughout North 
America, Europe and the Pacific Rim.  Unit Instruments is traded on 
the Nasdaq National Market under the symbol UNII.  Unit's web site is
