How to Specify Hydraulic Tank Suction Strainer

Thread & flow: Match the pump suction port; size by flow so pressure drop stays below about 0.1 bar.
Rating: 74 or 149 µm (100 or 200 mesh) to protect the pump without cavitation.
Bypass: A 0.2 bar bypass valve protects the pump if the strainer clogs.

Materials

Standard supply is stainless steel 304; the material column in the table and the drawing options show the exact grade for each size. Other alloys and finishes can be quoted to your drawing.

Fitting & Care

Install at least 50 mm above the tank bottom and fully submerged at low oil level.
Clean at each oil change and inspect for collapsed mesh.

Common Mistakes

Choosing a finer rating than the pump can tolerate, causing cavitation.
Mounting too close to the tank bottom, where sludge collects.

When Hydraulic Tank Suction Strainer Is Not the Right Choice

Not a replacement for pressure or return-line filters that control oil cleanliness.
