ISO 16889:2022 pdf download – Hydraulic fluid power — Filters — Multi-pass method for evaluating filtration performance of a filter element.
1 Scope This document describes the following: — a multi-pass filtration performance test with continuous contaminant injection for hydraulic fluid power filter elements; NOTE 1 For the background interlaboratory study used to verify the test methodology, see Annex D. — a procedure for determining the contaminant capacity, particulate removal and differential pressure characteristics; — a test currently applicable to hydraulic fluid power filter elements that exhibit an average filtration ratio greater than or equal to 75 for particle sizes ≥ 25 µm(c), and a final reservoir gravimetric level of less than 200 mg/L; NOTE 2 It is necessary to determine by validation the range of flow rates and the lower particle size limit that can be used in test facilities. — a test using ISO medium test dust (ISO MTD) contaminant and a test fluid in accordance with Annex A. This document is intended to provide a test procedure that yields reproducible test data for appraising the filtration performance of a hydraulic fluid power filter element without influence of electrostatic charge. This document applies to three test conditions: — test condition 1, with a base upstream gravimetric level of 3 mg/L; — test condition 2, with a base upstream gravimetric level of 10 mg/L; — test condition 3, with a base upstream gravimetric level of 15 mg/L. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.

6.6 Petroleum-based test fluid, in accordance with Annex A. NOTE 1 The use of this carefully controlled hydraulic fluid assures greater reproducibility of results and is based upon current practices, other accepted filter standards and its worldwide availability. NOTE 2 The use of an anti-static agent can affect the test results. 6.7 Filter performance test circuit, composed of a filter test system and a contaminant injection system. 6.7.1 Filter test system, consisting of the following: a) a reservoir, a pump, fluid-conditioning apparatus and instrumentation that are capable of accommodating the range of flow rates, pressures and volumes required by the procedure and capable of meeting the validation requirements of Clause 8; b) a clean-up filter capable of providing an initial system contamination level as specified in Table 3; c) a configuration that is insensitive to the intended operative contaminant level; d) a configuration that does not alter the test contaminant distribution over the anticipated test duration; e) pressure taps in accordance with ISO 3968; f) fluid sampling sections upstream and downstream of the test filter in accordance with ISO 4021. NOTE For typical configurations that have proved satisfactory, refer to Annex B.
