Typical Fluid Cleanliness Level Filter Cart Performance

Requirements Fluid cleanliness levels are a function of initial
contamination levels, contamination ingression rates,
Many manufacturers of hydraulic components reservoir size and fi lter element effi ciency. The chart
have established fl uid cleanliness levels for their below lists approximate time requirements to achieve
components. Using a portable fi lter cart can be certain cleanliness levels based on the assumptions
a very effective way to reach and maintain these noted.

Filter Cart Element Notes:
The results in the chart are based on the following assumption:
Performance 1. Initial contamination level is 500,000 particles greater than
10 micrometers per 100 ml of fl uid (10MFP cart).
2. Inlet fi lter fi tted with 40SA element; outlet with 20Q element.
Media Filter Capacity

Code Media (Grams) 3. System ingression rate equal to 1 X 10 particles greater
than 10 micrometers entering the system per minute.

02Q Microglass III 110 when monitoring contamination levels, fl uid viscosity
range should be 50 - 250 SUS.
