Filter Flow Resistance Tester
1. Application Scenarios
The Filter Flow Resistance Tester is designed to evaluate the clean pressure drop characteristics of various fluid filters. It is widely used for:
Measuring pressure drop vs. flow rate curves of filter elements and complete filter assemblies.
Comparing flow resistance among different filter designs, materials, and manufacturers.
Selecting appropriate filters based on system pressure drop limits.
Validating and verifying manufacturer-provided filter performance data.
Optimizing hydraulic, lubrication, and fuel systems to reduce energy losses caused by filtration.
Implementing quality control during filter production to ensure consistent flow characteristics.
Supporting R&D of new filter media and innovative low-resistance designs.
The tester is suitable for hydraulic system manufacturers, automotive suppliers, filter factories, and laboratory research institutions.
2. Applicable Standards
The system supports standardized pressure drop measurement procedures in accordance with:
ISO 3968
Hydraulic fluid power — Filters — Evaluation of differential pressure versus flow characteristics.
SAE J806
Full-flow lubricating oil filters — Method of test.
Compliance with these standards ensures consistent, comparable, and globally recognized test results.
