HYDAC Suction Strainer Elements are designed for installation introduction lines of pumps. Extra caution should be taken to ensure that the suction elements are always mounted below the minimum oil level of the reservoir.

The suction strainer elements can be supplied with a bypass valve to reduce high pressure drops caused by contaminated elements or high viscosity fluids during cold starting. The bypass valve opens at 3 psi. For best results, suction strainer elements should be sized for cleanmore

Cleaning Procedure

N/A Remove external build-up of contaminant with cleaning fluid in separate tank.
Flush element with clean solvent and blow through wire screen media with air.

Pressure Drop Versus Flow

N/A Pressure drop will be < 2 psi when strainers are used within the recommended flow range, and with a standard hydraulic fluid with a viscosity of 141 SSU and specific gravity of 0.86.
