What is a Beta Rating?
The most important property of a filter is its efficiency. The Micron Rating is negligible whether you have a 3µ filter or a 100µ filter - it doesn't matter unless your filter is removing the particulates from the filtration medium which is why the Beta rating, β, is important.
The Beta rating, β, is the efficiency of the media within the filter element and is written as the number of particles that will pass through the element and into the system. For example, a filter with a rating of 10µ > β1000 means that 1 in every 1000 particles greater than or equal to 10µ will pass through the media which can also be written as an efficiency of 99.9%.
To calculate the Beta rating, you simply take the number of upstream particles and divide this by the number of downstream particles.
If you look at a filter a β1000 element and a β20 element on the outside they may seem identical however, the difference between the two is critical in ensuring the safety of your hydraulic system against potentially harmful particulates. At fangte-filter all our hydraulic filter elements are rated at either β1000 or β200 to prevent damage to our customers systems and be certain that they are running as efficiently as they can be.
What is a Micron Rating?
When looking at our hydraulic filter technical specifications you may notice each part has a Micron Rating (µ), but what is this?
A micron or micrometre is 1×10−6 of a metre also written as 0.000001m. In filtration, the Micron rating is the minimum particle size the media will filter and is determined by the Beta Rating at that size.
For example, a filter could be β1000 at 10µ and so will allow 1 in every 1000 particles of 10µ to pass through however, it could also be described at β2 at 3µ and so will allow 1 in every 2 particles of 3µ to pass through. Because of this, it's very important to understand both the micron and Beta Rating of an element to see how efficient it will be when used in the application.
