The Handbook of Hydraulic Filtration
This handbook explains how contamination is the leading cause of hydraulic system failures and how proper filtration is essential to performance, cost control, and equipment life. It covers contamination types (particles, water, air), their sources, and their damaging effects on components. The document details filtration technologies, media types, efficiency ratings, and cleanliness standards, along with how to select filters and housings based on system conditions. It also explains filter life behavior and monitoring. The core message is that effective contamination control directly improves reliability, reduces downtime, and extends equipment life.
