Hydraulic Wire Mesh Filter Element for Hydraulic and Lubrication Oil
This hydraulic wire mesh filter element uses stainless steel woven wire mesh in a fabricated cartridge construction with a bare finish. It is intended for hydraulic oil filtration and lubrication oil filtration. Send your filter housing details, element drawing and filtration requirements to confirm the dimensions, material grade and operating conditions before ordering.

Confirm the Filter Element Specification
No standard element dimensions or filtration rating are published here. For a quote, provide a drawing or existing element reference, overall length, outside and inside diameters, end-cap and seal details, housing identification, flow direction, required filtration rating and its test basis, oil type, flow rate, viscosity and temperature range, operating pressure, allowable differential pressure, quantity and destination. Agree the final specification and acceptance criteria before ordering.

Hydraulic and Lubrication Oil Applications
The listed applications are hydraulic oil filtration and lubrication oil filtration. Specify the installation position and housing so the proposed cartridge can be reviewed against the required fit, oil conditions and filtration duty.
- Hydraulic oil filtration
- Lubrication oil filtration
Material and Filter Selection
Confirm the Stainless Steel Grade
Stainless steel is the listed material family; a specific grade, alloy composition and material certificate are not provided. State the required grade and documentation in your inquiry. The woven mesh construction and bare finish describe the product, but do not establish the material of every end cap, support member or seal. Confirm these components in the element specification.
No alloy composition is published for this element. Confirm the material designation and any required material documents before purchase.
Selection Inputs to Confirm
- Oil and seal compatibility:Identify the oil formulation, additives, temperature range and any cleaning exposure. Confirm compatibility of the proposed mesh, end caps, joints and seals with that service. The stainless steel designation alone does not establish compatibility of the complete cartridge.
- Filtration requirement:State the particle size to be controlled and the required filtration efficiency or test basis. A tested micron rating is not published for this product. Do not treat mesh count or aperture alone as proof of element filtration performance.
- Flow and viscosity:Provide the required flow rate and oil viscosity at normal operation and cold start. HYDAC's sizing guidance evaluates the combined housing and element pressure drop under both conditions; confirm the proposed assembly using applicable data.
- Pressure and element support:Specify system working pressure, allowable element differential pressure, flow direction and the housing's bypass arrangement. Working pressure and the pressure difference across the element are separate selection inputs; neither a pressure limit nor a collapse rating is published for this cartridge.
Filter Element Purchasing Checklist
Use this checklist to define the cartridge and its housing interface. No dimensional tolerance standard or filtration performance approval is claimed for this product. ISO 16889:2022 is a reference for multi-pass evaluation of hydraulic filter element performance; any requested testing must be agreed for the proposed element and supported by a report.
