Common Tests for Aerospace Filtration Systems
Aerospace filtration testing is essential because it ensures aircraft filters perform correctly under all possible conditions. Aerospace filter elements must be able to withstand certain pressure levels, particulate volumes, temperatures, fluids and flow rates. Several tests verify how well aircraft filters can separate contaminants from fluids and perform well in various conditions. Aircraft performance, safety…
A Guide to Oxycheck Valve Applications
Oxygen is an abundant and versatile element. It is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, making up 17% of the atmosphere and up to 46% of the Earth’s crust. The versatility of oxygen means it can be used in various industries, from medicine to manufacturing to aviation. However, it is important to remember…
What Is the Multipass Test in Filters?
During the last few years, there’s been a lot of development and research in filters. One of these developments includes the multipass test. The multipass test, also known as the beta test, helps generate a more consistent rating for hydraulic filters, allowing you to find a reliable beta ratio, which helps describe the effectiveness of…
Guide to Hydrogen Filters
Hydrogen (H2) was one of the first elements to exist in the universe and is also the most abundant. It is known for being the lightest and most straightforward of all the elements, though it also contains a high energy content, meaning it can be used as an energy carrier. As an energy carrier, hydrogen…
Hydraulic Fluid Filtration & How to Maintain Hydraulic Fluid Filtration Systems
One of the best ways in maintaining hydraulic filtration systems is to manage and clean your hydraulic fluid. Hydraulic systems are used in many industries, from aerospace to robotics. Regardless of the market or application, hydraulic systems need special care to continue operating. What Are Hydraulic Filters? Hydraulic filters remove particulates from the hydraulic fluid….

They make it possible to fly long distances without disruptive stops for repairs. Aerospace filters make your aircraft and spacecraft safer. We’ve put together this comprehensive guide to aerospace filters to help you learn more. We’ll…
How Fluid Contamination Causes Mechanical Failure
When contaminants enter hydraulic fluid, they can cause the system to work against itself. The same pressure and force that generate a hydraulic system’s power may cause even tiny particles to damage interior surfaces through abrasion, erosion and fatigue. This damage can cascade and create additional harmful particles. In the worst-case scenario, the result is…
How to Prevent Fluid Contamination Before It’s Too Late
Foreign particles and other substances can damage and even destroy a hydraulic system if they are allowed to contaminate the hydraulic fluid. Dirt and other particles can damage metal surfaces inside the system, causing them to weaken and fail. Water can corrode surfaces, reduce fluid viscosity and damage pumps. By the time these problems become…
Knowing When to Change Your Hydraulic Fluid Filter
Fluid contamination is the most common cause of failure in hydraulic systems, and the chances of contamination or other problems increase if you don’t have an effective plan for checking and changing your hydraulic filters. The best approach is to be proactive and to make sure you understand what’s happening inside your system. What Happens…
