HOW MANY PARTICLES SNEAK PAST YOUR FILTER? The beta ratio tells the real story ?? https://lnkd.in/gjztHwaf 99% filtration may not be enough! See why beta ratios matter more than you think. #oil #filtration #contaminationcontrol #lubrication #maintenance Reliable ?? ??Please repost if you find this helpful??
Really nice read
Beta ratio it’s a good parameter to evaluate the filter efficiency, but we need to stay alert with some points: - It does not take into account the actual operating conditions of the filter, such as flow surges, pressure changes, temperature variations, and fluid properties. - It does not give any indication of the dirt-holding capacity of the filter, which is the total amount of contaminant that can be trapped by the filter throughout its life. - It does not account for the stability or performance of the filter over time, which may degrade due to wear, fatigue, erosion, corrosion, or chemical reactions. - It may not reflect the true impact of filtration on the system or component performance, which depends on factors such as particle shape, size distribution, hardness, abrasiveness, adhesiveness, and composition.
Beta ratios are a thing of the past! ISO23369 is the latest standard in performance testing and generated the alpha ratio. This takes into account real world dynamic flow conditions.
Valuable learning here
Question: Can a higher Beta ratio affect the oil characteristic? Is the filter capable of breaking the additives?
