Test Methods For Turbine Oil Filter Elements
Table of Contents
Structural Integrity Testing
Pressure Drop Flow Characteristic Test
1.Standard
ISO 3968
2.Method
The pressure difference between the two ends of the cartridge is measured under various flow conditions. A flow rate-differential pressure curve is then drawn to analyze the flow characteristics of the cartridge.
3.Purpose
This test evaluates how the cartridge’s pressure drop behaves at different flow rates, ensuring it meets the turbine system’s oil flow requirements and minimizes energy loss.
.
Filtration Efficiency and Dirt-Holding Capacity Test
1.Standard
ISO 16889
2.Method
Under specified test conditions, oil containing a set concentration of particulate contaminants is continuously injected into the cartridge. The number and size distribution of particles are measured both upstream and downstream of the cartridge to determine its filtration efficiency for different particle sizes. At the same time, the differential pressure across the cartridge is monitored. When the differential pressure reaches the specified limit, the total amount of contaminants injected is recorded, representing the cartridge’s dirt-holding capacity.
3.Purpose
This test helps determine the total amount of impurities the cartridge can hold over its lifetime, which is crucial for setting the replacement cycle and evaluating the cartridge’s cost-effectiveness and practicality..
Rupture Resistance Test
1.Standard
ISO 2941.
2.Method
The cartridge is installed in a testing device, and internal pressure is gradually increased by continuously injecting pollutants. The test observes whether the cartridge ruptures, deforms, or leaks, and records the maximum pressure the cartridge can withstand.
3.Purpose
This test ensures that the filter element can withstand the normal working pressure and potential pressure fluctuations in the turbine system, helping to maintain the safety and reliability of the filtration system.
Media Compatibility Test
1.Standard
ISO 2943.
2.Method
The cartridge is immersed in a test medium that simulates the actual working environment. After a specified period, the cartridge is removed, and its appearance, structural integrity, and filtration performance are checked for any changes.
3.Purpose
This test verifies the material’s resistance to the media in the actual working environment, ensuring that the filter element won’t fail due to corrosion or dissolution during long-term use.
Flow Fatigue Resistance Test
1.Standard
ISO 3724.
2.Method
The filter element is continuously exposed to dirt, creating a specific pressure difference. It undergoes consistent alternating flow until the test completes the specified number of cycles.
3.Purpose
This test evaluates the cartridge’s ability to withstand damage from alternating pressure changes due to flow fluctuations. A filter element with good flow fatigue resistance maintains its structure and filtration performance over time, ensuring smooth fluid passage and effective filtration. This helps optimize fluid flow in the system, improving overall efficiency and responsiveness.

Application Scenarios of ClearFilter Turbine Oil Filter Cartridge
Power Industry
Turbines are crucial to power generation processes, including thermal, hydro, and nuclear power. Clear Filter turbine oil filter cartridges are essential in the lubrication and speed control systems of these turbines.
For instance, in thermal power plants, where high-temperature and high-pressure steam drives turbine rotation, our filter cartridges effectively remove metal wear particles, dust, and other contaminants from the oil. This protection safeguards the bearings and speed-regulating components, ensuring stable unit operation. By preventing equipment failures that can lead to blackouts, our cartridges enhance the reliability of the power supply.
Notably, maintenance costs stemming from oil deterioration can account for approximately 40% of annual maintenance expenses in thermal power plants, with steam engines seeing rates as high as 65% for professional maintenance. By reducing these costs, Clear Filter cartridges help improve profit margins while enhancing the work environment for operators.
Chemical Industry
In the chemical industry, turbines are pivotal for providing power across various processes. However, the complex production environment often exposes oil to chemical contaminants. Clear Filter turbine oil filtration cartridges are designed to perform reliably in these harsh conditions due to their excellent chemical compatibility.
In large compressor turbines used in petrochemical operations, our cartridges adeptly filter out chemical impurities and water, preventing corrosion and equipment damage. This proactive filtration reduces the risk of overheating, excessive vibrations, and serious safety hazards like fires. By extending equipment life and lowering maintenance costs, Clear Filter cartridges ensure the continuity and safety of chemical production, meeting the high operational safety standards demanded by the petrochemical industry
Metallurgical Industry
The metallurgical sector faces various pollutants, including solid particles, liquids, and gases throughout its processes.

Turbine Oil Filter Cartridge FAQs
Choosing the right filtration precision depends on your turbine’s requirements and the size of impurities in the oil. For sensitive components like bearings and speed control systems, select filter elements with higher precision to avoid wear from tiny particles. Refer to Clear Filter's recommendations and assess the oil contamination level to determine the best filtration precision.
The replacement cycle for the filter element depends on factors like oil contamination, equipment operating time, and the filter's dirt-holding capacity. Monitor the differential pressure; when it reaches the specified value, replace the cartridge promptly. Additionally, consider regular replacements based on your operating experience and maintenance schedule to ensure equipment performance.
Clear Filter's oil filtration cartridges use oleophilic and hydrophobic materials to filter free and partially emulsified water from the oil. However, for oils with high water content, additional dewatering equipment may be needed for better results.
Before installation, ensure the filter element’s model and specifications match your equipment and check for any damage. Follow the correct steps for a secure and leak-proof fit, and make sure to align the inlet and outlet directions to maintain effective filtration.
Clear Filter's turbine oil filtration cartridge performs well in low temperatures. However, in extremely cold conditions, consider thermal insulation for the filtration system to maintain oil fluidity and filter performance.
