Comprehensive oil filter tester

Meet the standard:

ISO 16889 ISO 4572

ISO 3968 ISO 2941

ISO 2942 ISO 4406

Product Introduction:

A comprehensive oil filter tester typically combines the functionalities of several individual test apparatuses. Its core capability often includes performing the multi-pass test (ISO 16889), which is the standard method for determining a filter's filtration efficiency (Beta ratio) and dirt holding capacity. This involves circulating contaminated test oil through the filter while continuously injecting contaminant and monitoring particle counts upstream and downstream.

In addition to multi-pass testing, a comprehensive tester may also include:

Pressure Drop vs. Flow Rate Testing: Measuring the pressure differential across a clean filter element at various flow rates (ISO 3968).

Collapse/Burst Pressure Testing: Determining the maximum differential pressure the filter element structure can withstand before collapsing or bursting (ISO 2941).

Fabrication Integrity Testing: Checking for manufacturing defects or damaged media through tests like the bubble point test or proof test (ISO 2942).

By integrating these capabilities, a comprehensive tester allows for a complete characterization of a filter element's performance under one system, simulating various stresses it might encounter in service. This provides invaluable data for filter design validation, material selection, quality control, competitive analysis, and predicting filter lifespan and behavior in hydraulic and lubrication systems.

The instrument is used for:

Comprehensive performance evaluation of new and prototype oil filter elements.

Quality assurance and batch testing of manufactured filters.

Benchmarking the performance of different filter brands and technologies.

Failure analysis of filters removed from service.

Research and development of advanced filter media and designs.

Validating filter specifications for specific hydraulic or lubrication system applications.
