Q: Can I clean and reuse the element?
A: No. It is disposable elements with pleated glass fiber media. Cleaning will damage the media and destroy filtration efficiency. Always replace with a new element.
Q: What micron rating should I choose for my application?
A: Typical recommendations:
1µm / 3µm – High-precision hydraulics, servo valves, instrument air, critical process gas.
5µm – Standard industrial hydraulics, general compressed air purification, pneumatic controls.
7µm / 10µm – Lubrication circuits, pre‑filtration, less sensitive hydraulic systems.
If you are unsure, contact our engineering team with your application details for a specific recommendation.
Q: What is the difference between C-series and P-series filter elements?
A: C-series (coalescing) filters are designed to coalesce and remove extremely fine oil mist, water aerosols, and sub-micron particles down to 0.01μm. P-series (particulate) filters remove solid particulates down to 1μm. C-series provides higher filtration precision for critical applications.
Q: How should I store spare precision filter elements?
A: Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and chemical fumes. Keep in original packaging until ready for installation to prevent dust, moisture, and contamination.
