What is Filter Efficiency?

Filter efficiency refers to the ability of a filter to effectively remove contaminants from a fluid. It is typically expressed as a percentage, with higher percentages indicating a higher level of efficiency. There are several factors that can affect the efficiency of a filter, including the size and type of the contaminants being removed, the…

What is ISO 16889?

ISO 16889 is an international standard that specifies the performance requirements and test methods for evaluating the filtration efficiency of hydraulic filters. The standard is used to evaluate the ability of a hydraulic filter to remove contaminants from the hydraulic fluid and to ensure that the filter meets a minimum level of performance. The standard…

Don’t Overlook the Need for Return Line Hydraulic Filtration

Don’t Overlook the Need for Return Line Hydraulic Filtration

Return line filters are used in hydraulic systems to remove contaminants from the fluid as it is returned to the reservoir after being used in the system. These filters are typically installed in the return line of the system, which is the line that carries the fluid back to the reservoir. Return line filters are…

Pressure Filters for Peak System Performance

Pressure Filters for Peak System Performance

Pressure filters are devices that are used in hydraulic systems to remove contaminants from the fluid as it is pressurized in the system. Pressure filters are typically installed in the pressure line of the system, which is the line that carries the pressurized fluid from the pump to the actuators or other components that use…

The Role of Hydraulic Filters in Maintaining the Health of Your Equipment

Introduction Definition of Hydraulic Filters A hydraulic filter is a device that is used to remove contaminants, such as dirt, debris, water, and air bubbles, from hydraulic fluid in a hydraulic system. Hydraulic systems are used in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, including construction equipment, manufacturing machinery, and transportation vehicles. The hydraulic fluid…
