Hydraulic Filtration

Frequently asked questions — Hydraulic Filtration

• How do I choose the right filter element for a hydraulic installation?

  The selection of a filter element must be based on three fundamental technical criteria: filtration fineness expressed in microns, chemical compatibility between the filter media and the fluid used, and contaminant retention capacity. These elements are essential to ensure effective preventive maintenance. It is imperative to adapt these specifications to the actual conditions of your working environment, whether for moderate-pressure applications or high-performance systems.
• Which brands of filtration systems do you offer for hydraulic maintenance?

  Our hydraulic filtration offering relies on the distribution of solutions from specialist manufacturers' catalogues such as PARKER, MP FILTRI, STAUFF, EDH and DES-CASE. This selection meets the varied requirements of industrial installations. These components are designed to fit into an overall strategy for preserving the integrity of heat transfer fluids, while complementing other segments of our offering such as hydraulic connectors and hydraulic components.
• Which standard must I follow to design my hydraulic circuit architecture?

  The design and reading of your hydraulic circuit schematics must consistently rely on the ISO 1219 standard. This standard defines the standardised graphic symbols required to ensure a rigorous and standardised architecture. Compliance with this standardisation is paramount when integrating purification and control devices from our hydraulic filtration category, in order to guarantee the technical consistency of your entire installation.
• Is hydraulic filtration sufficient on its own to protect my installation?

  Hydraulic filtration is a cornerstone of preventive maintenance, but it is one link in a larger chain. It serves as an indispensable complement to other technical segments such as hydraulic components, hydraulic connectors and various hydraulic accessories. The purification and control of heat transfer fluids ensure system integrity, but the effectiveness of protection also depends on the overall consistency of the architecture, respecting the symbols and standards established for the entire circuit.
