Oil Filter Performance Tester
The Oil Filter Performance Tester is a specialized laboratory system designed to evaluate the filtration efficiency, dirt-holding capacity, structural durability, and long-term performance of oil filters under repetitive contaminant-loading cycles. Using the multiple passes through test principle, the tester circulates contaminated oil through the filter element repeatedly, enabling fast and accurate simulation of real-world operating conditions.
1. Applications
The Oil Filter Performance Tester is widely used in industries requiring precise evaluation of filter performance under dynamic fluid contamination environments. Typical applications include:
Hydraulic System Filter Evaluation
Determines particle removal efficiency and pressure drop characteristics under repeated circulation.
Engine and Lubrication Filter Testing
Assesses filter clogging behavior, dirt-holding capacity, and long-term stability.
Research and Development
Supports new filter material development and comparative performance studies.
Quality Assurance / Certification
Ensures filters meet international testing requirements before delivery.
Fatigue and Durability Simulation
Reproduces long-term cyclic use to evaluate degradation and service life prediction.
2. Conformity Standards
This tester complies with major international and domestic filtration testing standards, including:
ISO 16889 — Multi-pass method for evaluating hydraulic filter performance
ASTM D5170 — Hydraulic filter multi-pass test procedures
ASTM D2060 — Wear and durability test methods
ASTM F3445 — Filter testing for various industrial applications
ISO 3724 — Filter element flow fatigue test
ISO/DIS 19438-2004 — Full-flow lubricating oil filter test
ISO 4548-12:2000 — Automotive oil filter multi-pass evaluation
GB/T 18853-2015 — Filter performance multi-pass test method
GB/T 8243.12-2007 — Automotive filter multi-pass test requirements
These standards ensure repeatability, accuracy, and global compatibility for certification and comparison.
