Mesh & Micron Comparison – What’s the Difference?

It has been a while since we covered this area and it is such an important one that it should be covered again for emphasis and clarification. Wire cloth manufacturers talk in terms of “mesh” and filter people talk in terms of “micron.” It can be so confusing at times. These two terms mix like water and oil. You can always go to our website in our Learning Center and access a simple chart that will help. Download it and print it out and keep it handy at your desk. Click on this link and it will take you directly to the form.  

Mesh/Micron/Inch Comparison Chart and Flow Rate Comparisons.

It can be confusing to determine the correct level of filtration if the customer and user aren’t really sure if “they are speaking the same language.” For example, you can see that 149 micron is really the same as 100 mesh. Applications need filters of a certain level of filtration to help perform efficiently and it could be disastrous if an improper filter was installed. System damage could occur. Education is learning what you didn’t even know you didn’t know.

 

Reservoir Accessories OFCO’s Standard Product

The reservoir is a basic part of any hydraulic system and has a considerable daily effect on the operation. Filtration is a neglected science.

It seems only highly complex companies seem interested in monitoring their systems oil, too. Also, with smaller reservoirs trending, “accessories” become more important to ensure a long and dependable hydraulic system operation. OFCO has the standard products to help in the war against contamination.

Here is a basic, typical hydraulic reservoir. The fluid in the reservoir, before it leaves and after it returns from the operation, must be kept clean. That is why we manufacture the filters and strainers to do exactly that. From suction strainers and tank mounted strainers, to return line strainers and diffusers. OFCO can help keep your system running efficiently. Our air breathers protect the inside of the reservoir from environmental air contamination. We help protect the fluid in the reservoir, outgoing and incoming. Take a look at what we offer in different physical sizes, pipe sizes, and level of filtration. No matter what the operation is, we can help keep the fluid in the reservoir clean so it is reliable when it goes to work. Go to our website to see how we can help.
