Hydraulic Oil Filtration and Dewatering Tester

Meet the standard:

ISO 16889

ISO 4406 ASTM

D6304 ISO 11500

Product Introduction:

Maintaining the cleanliness and dryness of hydraulic oil is paramount for the reliable operation and longevity of hydraulic systems. Solid particles cause abrasive wear, while water leads to corrosion, reduced lubrication effectiveness, and fluid degradation. A Hydraulic Oil Filtration and Dewatering Tester allows for the quantitative evaluation of technologies designed to combat these forms of contamination.

This type of tester typically involves a test circuit where hydraulic oil, deliberately contaminated with both solid particles and water, is circulated through the filtration and dewatering unit under test. The system is designed to simulate operating conditions, controlling parameters such as flow rate, pressure, and temperature. Samples of the oil are taken from specified points in the circuit (e.g., before and after the purification process). These samples are then analyzed using appropriate methods to determine the particle count and size distribution (often using an automatic particle counter according to standards like ISO 4406) and the water content (using methods like Karl Fischer titration or moisture sensors).

The instrument is used for:

Evaluating the combined efficiency of filtration and dewatering systems for hydraulic oil.

Assessing the particle removal performance of filters under conditions of water contamination.

Determining the water removal efficiency of dewatering technologies (vacuum dehydration, coalescers, absorbents).

Benchmarking the performance of different fluid purification systems.

Monitoring the effectiveness of purification processes on oil cleanliness (particle count) and dryness (water content).

Research and development of new filtration and dewatering technologies for hydraulic fluids.

Quality control for manufacturers and users of hydraulic oil purification equipment.
