Quality Assurance
Quality management according to DIN EN ISO 9001
To ensure constant quality in production and operation, ARGO-HYTOS filter elements undergo strict controls and tests according to
the following ISO standards:
ISO 2941 Verification of collapse/burst pressure rating
ISO 2942 Verification of fabrication integrity (Bubble Point Test)
ISO 2943 Verification of material compatibility with fluids
ISO 3968 Evaluation of pressure drop versus flow characteristics
ISO 16889 Multi-Pass-Test (evaluation of filter fineness and dirt-holding capacity)
ISO 23181 Determination of resistance to flow fatigue using high viscosity fluid
Various quality controls during the production process guarantee the leakfree function and solidity of our filters.

Sizes
The determining factor for selecting the size is the maximum
over / under pressure allowed in the container.
For versions without double check valves, the initial pressure
drop with a clean air filter should not exceed 0,03 bar.
For versions with double check valves, the initial pressure drop
for air IN with a clean air filter should not exceed 0,1 bar.
Filter fineness
In the ideal case, the fineness of the ventilating filter matches
the fineness of the system filter (see also CETOP RP 98 H).
By the use of filter fineness 2 CL the ingress of dust into the tank
is effectively reduced.
Mounting
The ventilating filter should be mounted in a low-dust area of
the machine and not in depressions in which water can collect.
For mobile use, the ventilating filter is to be mounted on the
tank such that neither splashing oil from the inside nor spray
water from the outside can reach the area of the ventilation
opening.
Double check valves
By the use of double check valves, the exchange of air between
the tank and the environment can be considerably reduced,
whereby the ingress of dust is minimized and the lifetime of the
ventilating filter is increased.
With the double check valve, a predefined level of pressure can
be created in the tank in order to improve the suction conditions
for the pumps.
The valve opening pressure required for the ventilating filter can
be approximately determined with the ideal gas equation
depending on the following system characteristics:
› differential volume
› volume of oil in the system
› volume of air in the tank
› operating temperatures
