"What are the differences between hydraulic filter and lubrication filter? Can you use hydraulic filters for gravity flow of lube oil?" There are many kinds of hydraulic filter in WUZHOU KINGDA, if you are interested in our products, welcome to contact us!

Instruction

1. Although the basic principles of filtration are the same in each case, there are slight differences in hydraulic filter and lubrication filter based on the application.

2. In most force-fed lubrication systems, the filter is after the pump and before the critical machine components. This location poses several problems for the filter. The first issue is the flow rate. 

3. When compared to a typical hydraulic filter on the return line, lubrication system filters on average are slightly more robust. When installed on a low-pressure return line, these filters don’t have to be made using reinforced center tubes, sandwiched media or thicker housings.

4. The basic principles of filtration include the relationship between pore size, flow rate, surface area and the differential pressure. The pore size is a major contributor to the performance of the filter to remove smaller particles. 

5. There are filters on the market today that could interchange from a hydraulic system into a gravity-flow lube oil filter as long as the expected requirements are relatively the same. However, the flow rate, pressure, surface area and pore size must all be accounted for to achieve the expected results.
