Systems sensitivity and The cleanliness of the oil in a hydraulic system is determined
by the micron rating of the filter element, the type of
optimal cleanliness class contamination, and the size and distribution of the particles in
the fluid.
This table presents standard data values. To determine the
actual contamination levels of the oil, it should be analyzed
using established procedures for oil analysis.

Eaton’s wide range of filter elements enables trouble-free

operation with standard fluids, but also when filtering abrasive
fluids, cooling lubricants or water-based fluids and are
designed to achieve cleanliness class requirements. We can
perform fluid analysis capabilities on-site or in our lab to
determine the best filter element for your hydraulic and
lubrication system requirements.

In addition to proprietary tests developed by Eaton, filter

elements are tested according to several ISO standards:

ISO 2941 Verification of collapse/burst pressure rating

ISO 2942 Verification of fabrication integrity

ISO 2943 Verification of material compatibility
with fluids

ISO 3723 Method for end load test

ISO 3724 Determination of resistance to flow

fatigue using particulate contaminant

ISO 3968 Evaluation of pressure drop versus flow

characteristics

ISO 16889 Multi-pass method for evaluating

filtration performance
