A micron, also known as a micrometer, is a unit of length that is equal to one millionth of a meter. It is commonly used to measure the size of particles in liquid filtration systems. In the context of liquid filtration, the size of the particles being removed is an important consideration, as smaller particles…
Filter pressure drop, also known as pressure loss, delta p, or pressure drop across the filter, refers to the difference in pressure on either side of a filter as fluid flows through it. It is typically expressed in units of pressure, such as pounds per square inch (psi) and is occasionally expressed as pounds per…
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…
The dirt-holding capacity of a filter refers to the amount of contaminants or particles that a filter can retain before it needs to be replaced or cleaned. In liquid filtration, this is often measured in terms of the volume or weight of dirt that a filter can hold before it becomes saturated and can no…
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 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…
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…
