Viscosity vs Temperature: The document discusses the relationship between viscosity and temperature for oils of ISO preferred grades with a Viscosity Index (V.I.) of 100. Oils with lower V.I. will have steeper slopes, indicating a greater change in viscosity with temperature, while higher V.I. oils will have flatter slopes.

ISO Fluids Classification and Compatibility: A table summarizes fluid classifications according to ISO 6743 and their compatibility with materials. Different types of fluids such as mineral base fluids, fire extinguishing fluids, and environmentally accepted fluids are listed with their features and compatibility notes.

Filters and Filter Media: The document outlines the importance of filters in hydraulic systems to maintain contamination levels. It describes various filter types including return line filters, pressure filters, suction filters, off-line filters, and air filters, each with specific functions and media types.

Filtration and Contamination Classes: The document specifies contamination classes required for optimal performance of hydraulic components, referencing ISO 4406 standards. It recommends UFI filter media for different applications and contamination classes.

FormulaUFI Innovative Media Solutions: UFI Filters has developed several high-performance media types, such as FormulaUFI.Extreme, StratiFlex, Micron, Web, H2O, and Cell, each designed for specific applications and offering benefits like high filtration efficiency, extended service life, and low pressure drop.

Suction Filters: Suction filters are crucial for protecting hydraulic pumps from coarse contamination. They are the first line of defense in filtration, helping to prolong the life of finer downstream filters and reduce maintenance costs.

Specifications: The document outlines the specifications for FRF return filters, including various models such as FRF11, FRF12, FRF13, FRF14, and FRF1X. Each model has specific dimensions and configurations for single and double ports. The filters are designed to handle different flow rates and pressure drops, with options for various port sizes and types.

Procedures: Maintenance procedures are detailed, including steps to stop the system, remove and replace filter elements, and ensure proper assembly. It emphasizes the importance of using original spare parts and disposing of used elements as hazardous waste.

Standards and Norms: The filters are tested according to ISO 3968 standards, ensuring reliability and performance under specified conditions. The document provides pressure drop curves to guide the selection of filter sizes based on expected flow rates and pressure conditions.

Recommendations: It is recommended to regularly check and replace O-rings and seals to maintain filter efficiency. The document advises on the correct installation of clogging indicators and the importance of not over-tightening to avoid damage.

Accessories: Options include clogging indicators, diffusors, and magnetic cores. The document specifies configurations for different seal materials, such as NBR and FKM, and their impact on indicator codes.

Key Data from Tables and Graphs: The tables provide detailed dimensions and weights for each filter model, while graphs illustrate pressure drop curves for various media types and flow rates. These are crucial for selecting the appropriate filter configuration to meet specific operational requirements.

CONTAMINATION CONTROL Contamination Control in the hydraulic system is a very wide and complex matter; the following is just a short summary. Our Customer Service is available for any further information. The function of the fluid in the hydraulic systems is transmitting power and motion. For a reliable and efficient operating of the system, it is very important to select the fluid considering the requirements of the system and the specific working conditions (working pressure, operating temperature, location of the system, etc.). Depending on the required features (viscosity, lubricant capacity,...

HYDRAULIC FILTER MEDIA AND RATING Since over 80% of all system failures are due to contamination, it is extremely important to have high quality hydraulic filters in place. These devices filter out contamination from the fluid, keeping the system running smoothly. The filter element can be considered as the processor within the filtration computer, that is why extensive knowledge and many years of manufacturing expertise make significant difference in the design and development of filter element performances and reliability. Depending on the materials and construction, the filters may be able...

The actual retention capacity behaviour is described in the graph here below: REFERENCES FOR THE “BETA” RATIO The standard ISO 16889 has replaced the former ISO 4572 concerning the Multi-Pass test, stating the Beta value of a filter element, since 1999. The current standard prescribes the test dust ISO MTD instead of the formerly used ACFTD, both in MultiPass test rigs as well as the calibration of the automatic particle counters. According to the ISO 16889 the particles sizes are measured with a different method than according to the ISO 4572. To avoid any confusion, when microns are measured...
