Static Hydraulic Filters, including the housing and cartridges, are vital components in hydraulic systems. They are designed to remove contaminants and particulate matter from hydraulic fluids, ensuring that the system operates efficiently and reliably. Having an ISO 16889 multipass test bench within our company is a valuable resource for evaluating filtration system performance. Here are key aspects of hydraulic filters, including efficiency, β ratio, and a complete range of inlet/outlet sizes, in the context of your ISO 16889 test bench:

Hydraulic Filter Components:

  1. Filtration Cartridge: The filtration cartridge is the core element responsible for capturing and retaining contaminants and particulate matter from the hydraulic fluid. It is a critical part of the filtration system.

  2. Filtration Housing: The housing encloses and supports the filtration cartridge. It ensures that hydraulic fluid flows through the cartridge for effective filtration.

ISO 16889 Multipass Test Bench:

An ISO 16889 multipass test bench is an in-house testing facility that allows us to evaluate the performance and efficiency of hydraulic filtration components, such as cartridges and housing, in compliance with the ISO 16889 standard. This standard defines methods for measuring filter performance and cleanliness codes, helping you assess the effectiveness of your filtration system.

Filtration Efficiency and β Ratio:

Filtration efficiency is a critical factor in hydraulic filtration. It measures how effectively the filtration system can remove particles of a specific size from the hydraulic fluid. Filtration efficiency is typically expressed as a percentage and is associated with a particular particle size. For instance, a filtration cartridge might be rated as "99% efficient at removing particles larger than 10 microns."

The β ratio quantifies the filtration efficiency of a filter element at a specific particle size. It is calculated by dividing the number of particles of a given size entering the filter by the number of particles of the same size exiting the filter. A higher β ratio indicates greater filtration efficiency, meaning more effective particle removal.

Complete Range of Inlet/Outlet Sizes:

Hydraulic filters are available in a wide range of inlet and outlet sizes to accommodate various hydraulic system requirements. The choice of inlet and outlet sizes is determined by factors such as flow rate, system pressure, and the existing hydraulic system configuration. Selecting filtration components with the appropriate inlet and outlet sizes is essential to ensure compatibility with the hydraulic system.

In summary, hydraulic filters, including housing and cartridges, play a critical role in maintaining the cleanliness and efficiency of hydraulic systems. An in-house ISO 16889 multipass test bench is a valuable tool for evaluating the performance and cleanliness levels of filtration components. Filtration efficiency, β ratio, and a complete range of inlet and outlet sizes are important considerations in selecting the right filtration components for your specific hydraulic system needs.
