PRESSURE DROP (∆p) INFORMATION FOR FILTER SIZING

The total Delta P through a filter assembly is given from Housing ∆p + Element ∆p.
The max recommended total ∆p for return filters is 0,4 – 0,6 bar with clean element.
For multiport versions, the housing ∆p to be considered is the sum of the ∆p through all the ports that can be
used contemporarily.

N.B. All the reported data have been obtained at our laboratory, according to specification ISO3968 with
mineral oil having 32 cSt viscosity at 40°C and density 0,875 kg/dm3.

HOUSING PRESSURE DROP

The housing ∆p is given by the curve of the considered model and port, in correspondence of the flow rate value.

FR6 SERIES 6/10

ELEMENT PRESSURE DROP

The element ∆p (bar) is given by the flow rate (l/min) multiplied by the factor in the table here below
corresponding to the selected media and divided by 1000.
If the oil has a viscosity V1different than 32 cSt a corrective factor V1/32 must be applied.
Example: 80 l/min with R130G10B and oil viscosity 46 cSt > 80 x 3,19/1000 x 46/32 = 0,36 bar

EXAMPLE OF TOTAL ∆p CALCULATION

FR62R130G10BBB6001B000 with 80 l/min and oil 46 cSt:
Housing ∆p 0,01 bar + element ∆p 0,36 bar (80 x 3,19/1000 x 46/32) = total assembly ∆p 0,37 bar

BYPASS VALVE PRESSURE DROP

The bypass valve ∆p is given by the curve of the considered model and setting, in correspondence of the flow rate
value.

ACCESSORIES

These accessories fit all our standard models and must be ordered separately.

A * DIPSTICK for oil level detection

When reduced space available, one of the tank fixing hole
can be used for a dipstick to check the oil level; it is
supplied with a M10 bolt support.
* not available for 2 holes version

N.B. we recommend to replace the air breather when

replacing the oil filter element.
(when working in a very dirt environment, a more frequent air breather
replacement could be necessary)

C EXTENSION TUBE

The flow from the filter must come out below the oil level to
avoid possible generation of free air or foam.
When necessary an extension tube can be fitted onto the
knobs of the bowl end.

D CONNECTION TUBE

Connection tube is the necessary device between filter bowl

and extension tubes (ET2250/ET2550) and/or diffuser
(DF040). Its plug and play option makes it easy to install
and versatile.

E DIFFUSER

Diffuser is an effective way to reduce foaming and turbu-

lence normally caused by return lines. Plug and play
option to be directly installed on the filter bowl or to
connection tube (CT2250). Installation of a diffuser in the
hydraulic tank is an easy way to ensure the reliability of the
overall system.
Diffuser must always be installed below the minimum oil
level.
