TRICO 36975 Water Filter Media, 10 Microns

Working Mechanism:

• As fluid flows through the filter element, dust particles or unwanted chemicals are trapped by the media.
• Simultaneously, the fluid develops a differential pressure between the inlet and outlet.
• The spring present in the hydraulic system holds the bypass piston and senses the pressure difference.
• As the differential pressure reaches a specific threshold, the indicator switches ON to indicate the need for cleaning or replacement.
• As the perforated protective cage around filter mats connects to the two end discs, it will allow the fluids to flow freely and continuously in the hydraulic filter element.
• When the fluid flows through the mat, the protective cage protects from external damage.
• The attached seal rings or profile seals will seal the space between the filter element and filter housing, thus stopping or reducing the leakage occurring from the hydraulic filter element.
• As fluid continues flowing, more contaminants remain trapped in hydraulic filter elements, and thus, the clean hydraulic fluid flows out through the outlet into the hydraulic system.

Compatible Accessories:

• Trico 36970 Filter Carts: These high viscosity filter carts are used for filtering new fluids before they are added to the hydraulic, drain & flush systems. They are also ideal for cleaning the stored fluid.

Standards and Approvals:

• ISO 9001:2015
• ISO/IEC 17025:2017
• ASTM

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Where is the hydraulic filter located in a hydraulic system?

A. Hydraulic filter elements are located between the pump and tank, in line with the return flow to the hydraulic tank.

Q. When should I change my hydraulic filter?

A. Normally, hydraulic filters should be changed when the dirt holding capacity of the filter is about 80% full, before the filter goes on bypass.
