ISO CLEANLINESS CODES The most widely used method for representing fluid cleanliness is the International Standards Organization (ISO) Code Level. Purolator generates and reports the code level of contaminant in accordance with ISO 4406, “Solid Contamination Level Code.” The resultant cleanliness code is a three-code number. The first code describes the number of particles greater than 4 microns, the second code describes the number of particles greater than 6 microns and the third greater than 14 microns. This new code has been accepted by the ISO standards committee since it more closely defines...

Scanning Electron Microscopy photomicrograph of Microfil® III media. Magnification 500X MICROFIL® III MEDIA AND ELEMENTS Purolator’s Microfil® media was the first to employ micro-fine glass fibers. This revolutionary design provided customers finer filtration with improved contaminant capacity and filter element life. Since then, Microfil media have been engineered and improved to provide even better filtration performance. Now, Purolator offers Microfil® III high performance filter elements which provide a unique composite construction for maintaining superior hydraulic or lubricating oil cleanliness....

Scanning Electron Microscopy photomicrograph of Micropleat® III media. Magnification 500X M I C R O P L E AT ® M E D I A A N D E L E M E N T S Micropleat® media are made from resin-impregnated cellulose materials. The media are then pleated and assembled into economical Micropleat disposable elements. Micropleat elements are rated at ßx≈2, and come in standard grades of 5, 10, 20 and 40 microns. They are designed and tested to withstand 150 psid collapse pressure. Micropleat elements are specified where an economical filter is required, or where a prefilter is used to minimize contaminant loading...

M U LT I PA S S F I LT E R T E S T I N G Purolator utilizes the multipass filter test method, in accordance with ISO 16889 and NFPA T.3.10.8.8, to verify the efficiency of the filter media, and determine the dirt holding capacity of the filter elements. The clean flow rate pressure drop of an element is very important, but more important is the performance of the same filter when subjected to dirt loading conditions. The multipass filter test helps the user select the filter needed for his or her application. In the multipass test, a specified concentration of contaminant is injected upstream...
