Particle contamination is the leading cause of hydraulic system failure, affecting both pump and valve life. For this reason, hydraulic system designers always include filtration on the high-pressure supply line, and depending on system design, sometimes on the return line. But how do you know if your hydraulic system contamination control strategy is balanced?

In this webinar, we will look at what it means to have balanced filtration and the simple steps to ensure that the rate of contamination removal always meets or exceeds the rate of ingression and how to ensure your fluid analysis program is providing you information you need to keep your systems balanced.
