Liquidynamics 71246-05 Replacement Filter Media, Target Cleanliness Level 18/16/14

The ISO 18/16/14 cleanliness code defines the target particle count levels across three size thresholds (4, 6, and 14 microns) in your fluid. This filter is designed to drive your system fluid down to and maintain that cleanliness level, which helps protect hydraulic and lubrication components by ensuring consistently high fluid quality.

This filter media is designed for hydraulic and lubrication oil applications, covering a full range of filtration requirements in those systems.

A beta ratio is a measure of a filter element's particle capture efficiency at a given particle size — the higher the number, the more particles are captured versus allowed through. A beta ratio exceeding 800 means this element captures over 99.8% of target-size particles per pass, delivering very high single-pass filtration efficiency.

The element has a differential pressure collapse rating of 150 PSI, meaning it is structurally rated to withstand up to 150 PSI of pressure difference across the element before failure. This high collapse rating supports reliable performance in demanding hydraulic circuit conditions.

The proprietary 5-layer synthetic construction is engineered for both exceptional durability and high filtration efficiency, delivering exceptionally high dirt holding capacity. This combination allows the element to capture and retain more contaminants over its service life while maintaining consistent flow performance, reducing the frequency of filter changes under normal operating conditions.
