 Choosing the Right Filter

Choosing the Ideal Filters for Your System

Doesn’t Need to be Complicated
Just remember a few key principles:
Fluid viscosity is crucial in the selection of the most appropriate filter
combination for your site without impacting flow rates.
(see page 15 for viscosity data).

Establish the target ISO 4406 cleanliness code for your equipment.

Single Pass Filtration

Designed for Systems of any Size,

with Minimal Pressure Drop
Donaldson Clean Fuel and Lubricant Solutions assemblies are
manufactured and plumbed in parallel flow configurations reducing
pressure drop across the assembly, providing single-pass filtration
performance, and targeted fluid cleanliness.

Mixing of part number elements on any dual head or manifold assembly will
impact filter performance. Donaldson Delivers

heads are constructed of
aluminium with steel inserts
to prevent excessive metal-
to-metal bonding, or galling,
between the head and the
filter.

The flow is split between the two
filters shown. Half of the flow
travels through the first filter and
the remaining flow travels through
the second filter. Flow does
not travel through both filters in
sequence.
Fluids pass through the media and
cleanliness targets are achieved in a
single pass.
Viton® seals are used in all
designs (unless otherwise
specified) to maintain

Temperature and Viscosity

The Importance of Temperature

in Sizing Your Filtration System
Fluid viscosity, measured in centiStokes (cSt) or Saybolt Seconds Universal (SSU or SUS), is the resistance
of a fluid to flow (thickness of fluid). Low viscosity fluids pass through filters with less resistance than high
viscosity fluids. Higher fluid viscosities have higher pressure drops due to higher resistance passing through
the media.

Cold fluids have higher viscosities, resulting in higher initial restrictions. Cold ambient temperatures will
reduce fluid flow and are a critical consideration when sizing any bulk liquid installation.
