Donaldson BT8873 Hydraulic Spin-On Filter
- Hydraulic spin-on filters are rated based on their ability to capture particles of a specific size. Filtration ratings are measured in microns, indicating the size of particles that the filter can effectively remove. Common filtration ratings for hydraulic filters range from 3 to 25 microns. Some hydraulic spin-on filters are equipped with a bypass valve. This valve allows hydraulic fluid to bypass the filter if the pressure across the filter becomes too high. It serves to prevent damage to the filter and maintain fluid flow in case of a clogged filter.
