A 20 micron filter is designed to take out all debris greater than 20 micron yet maximize oil passage. The test above shows contaminated oil with 36% of the metal removed above 20 micron, with a whopping 64% of the metals captured too small for a 20 micron filter. 25% of the metal particles were even less than 5 micron – they do the most damage.
Another contaminated oil test, conducted by an Iowa State University Capstone Team, shows the rate of removing 4 and 6 micron contaminants compared against standard element, a 2pc competition, and the enhanced performance of 360MAFC regardless of filter orientation. 2 collars per filter can enhance the rate of cleaning the system.
- Removes metals from Engine & Hydraulic oil, & Diesel
- 25% of particles are <5 microns, passing most filters
- Reduce damage to Bearings, Sleeves, Gears, etc.
