FULL‐FLOW FILTRATION IN LUBRICATING OIL SYSTEMS Available to Purchase

Filter media used for full‐flow filtration are made of paper, woven wire cloth and monofilament fabrics. The main characteristic of paper is a high retention rate of small particles. An absolute filter fineness is difficult to guarantee. Woven filter cloth can today be produced within a mesh tolerance less than 5 per cent. This makes it possible to remove excessively large particle sizes in the oil. It is possible to range lubricating oil systems into classes depending on the increasing amounts of solid matter. For each stage of contamination exists an optimal filter and filter arrangement.
