Suction filtration can help protect hydraulic pumps from large contaminants, but incorrect application can create new problems. In this episode, we explore suction strainers, cavitation risks, filtration limitations and serviceability, and why suction filtration needs to be applied carefully as part of an effective hydraulic filtration system.
What actually makes a good oil filter? In this episode, we explore how filter performance is evaluated, including standardised testing, beta values, filtration efficiency, beta stability and dirt-holding capacity. Learn why achieving the required fluid cleanliness is ultimately the most important measure of filtration performance.
Not all filters perform the same way, but how do we measure their effectiveness? In this episode, we explore the principles behind filter performance evaluation, including what filter ratings mean and why selecting the right filtration solution is critical to protecting hydraulic and lubrication systems. Learn how understanding filter performance can help improve reliability, extend component life and support cleaner, more efficient operation. HYDAC Australia & New Zealand
What does "clean oil" really mean? In this episode, we unpack the major industrial cleanliness standards used to measure contamination levels in hydraulic systems. From ISO 4406 and particle counting to oil sampling and cleanliness reporting, you'll gain a practical understanding of how hydraulic cleanliness is measured and why it matters.

Contamination is one of the leading causes of hydraulic system failures, but where does it actually come from? In this episode, we explore the hidden sources of contamination throughout a machine's lifecycle, from manufacturing and assembly through to operation and the surrounding environment. You'll also learn about the different types of contamination and why keeping lubricants clean is fundamental to machine reliability and performance.HYDAC Australia and New Zealand
